Warranty and Support
What is the difference between the two types of warranty?
'Carry In Warranty' means that for any warranty related work that needs to be done on your PC, you will need to drop off and pick up your system from our Singapore Service Centre. If you have this warranty and can't come in, you will need to cover the delivery costs for getting it to and back from us.
'Pickup and Return From Your Location Warranty' means that we will cover the delivery costs for getting your system back in for any warranty related work, and the cost of sending it back out to you.
What does my warranty cover?
Our warranty package covers parts failures due to components being faulty, and the labour cost for replacing those parts. We have a 1 for 1 part-exchange policy for failed parts during the warranty period. Our warranty does not cover things such as accidental damage, wear and tear, or misuse (eg. unauthorised overclocking or undervolting). Please see our full Warranty policy for more information.
What is available for making upgrades to my AFTERSHOCK system? Does AFTERSHOCK PC buy back my old components?
We support any upgrades to Aftershock systems, provided we stock the parts and that the upgrade is compatible. No service fee is charged for any upgrade unless an extra service is being provided (e.g. data backup/transfer, cleaning, etc.) or except in complex situations. Unfortunately, we don't buy back used components.
I'm having a problem with my system, what do I do?
You can reach out to our customer service during our operating hours by submitting a query via our live chat or email our support team. If your PC needs to be serviced you can either drop it off at our Singapore Service Centre during our operating hours or you can contact our team to organise how to get your PC delivered back to us.
What can I do if my system is out of warranty?
We provide free lifetime remote support for original purchasers of our PCs. Even if your warranty has expired, you are still able to reach out to us to receive remote support. If your system needs to be physically serviced by an Aftershock technician, we will only charge for replacement of new components.

Totally incredible pre-purchase experience from AfterShock received. Have always been following AfterShock for years and this is my first time doing corporate purchasing custom PC and truly you get a 5 star experience from the initial WhatsApp consultation about the exact PC that you need...gave him a list of specs that I was looking that was similar and bam, he had it tabulated for me the best PC within my requirements, 90% close to my original request. And best thing was AfterShock gave me a lower overall cost than me trying to get individual parts in Sim Lim Square to build, saving me almost $300
Well done AfterShock, proud to have a legitimate local business that is making waves globally. I'll definitely get my own personal custom PCs and laptops from AfterShock after this.

Great online sales service. Ordered a custom PC and wanted to upgrade some components afterwards. Knew they were very busy so I wasn’t expecting immediate response. Important thing is they followed up with the entire request well.

After much consideration and advised from Aftershock staff, i decided to get my own custom PC from them. Choosing stuff and customizing was a breeze in their website. They will even prompt you what is needed and compability. As a person with not much experience with building PC, i just need to research on parts i want or needed and choose the parts from their page. Easy! Also warranty is included, so you no need headache if anything happen. When i received the PC, i was really happy with the build quality and how it performed! Everything came in order. Just need to follow the instruction on unpacking, plug in, and you're ready to go! It was amazing!
I was also happy with the fast replies from aftershock staff. Every question asked was answered fast! Even after a few weeks of having the PC, yesterday their staff...ask hows the PC and everything. I just hope they keep it this way. Thank u Aftershock team!

This is the 3rd Aftershock laptop that I have purchased. The service standard here is second to none, with constant aftersales support to ensure customer satisfaction. Previous older laptops that I had were repaired promptly with door to door services provided as well. Will definitely continue to be a loyal customer here.

It was my first time checking this After Shock site. Usually I went to Sim Lim Sqaure to buy my custom PC but I was recommended by my friend about this. But I want to cut cost price by using back my old PC parts. Currently my PC's CPU dead out of nowhere.
During the online chat customer service...(they) answered all the questions I (had) :3
I was planning to go down to the shop at first but yeah, save my time overall :3
