Everything you need to know about browsing, buying from, and opening a PC hardware shop on Koukan.
What is the Koukan shops directory?
The Koukan shops directory lists verified independent UK PC hardware retailers, system builders, repair specialists, and individual power sellers who have created a branded storefront on Koukan. Each shop has its own subdomain (shopname.koukan.co.uk) with a full inventory, seller ratings, and contact details. All transactions are protected by Koukan's escrow system.
How do I find local PC hardware shops near me?
Use the city filter at the top of the shops directory to narrow results by location — including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Bristol, Leeds, and more. You can also tick "Local Collection Only" to show only shops offering in-person collection, useful if you want to inspect parts before buying.
Are the shops on Koukan verified?
Koukan offers a Verified Business badge to shops that have completed business identity verification. Verified shops display a green shield badge on their storefront card. You can filter the directory to show only Verified shops using the toggle in the search bar.
Can I buy directly from a shop with buyer protection?
Yes. All purchases made through a Koukan storefront are protected by Koukan's escrow system — the same protection as any other listing on the platform. Your payment is held securely until you confirm the item arrived as described. If there is a problem, Koukan's UK-based dispute team intervenes.
Can I collect PC parts in person from a shop?
Many shops on Koukan offer local collection. Look for the orange "Collection" badge on a shop card, or use the "Local Collection Only" filter. Each shop that offers collection provides pickup instructions and opening hours on their storefront page.
