MicroWarehouse, along with Inmac and MacWarehouse are the
three brands owned by DSG International plc[1]. WHSU Inc. and WHSU International Inc. (together known as MicroWarehouse) was
acquired by the DSGi on 4 June 2004. On the 9 October 2003 MicroWarehouse filed Bankruptcy[2]
which ulitmately lead to purchase of the MicroWarehouse by the Group .When MicroWarehouse was acquired by the group it became a
division of PC World Business[3], MicroWarehouse is one of the UK's largest and longest established direct resellers
of branded IT products and services to business. MicroWarehouse owns and operates the domain names Inmac.co.uk,
MacWarehouse.co.uk and MicroWarehouse.co.uk. All three are on-line, web-based, computer hardware and software retailers.
Delivery of Goods
Unusually, all three only accept orders inside the UK and, when goods are paid for by credit or debit card, do not offer shipping to addresses other than that registered for the card (typically a home address). Also, the delivery service used (as of October 2006, Parceline) cannot change delivery address without DSGi's consent, which DSG declines to provide as a matter of policy.
DSG customer service state they only deliver to registered addresses for data protection and to prevent fraud.
