Sidewinder Computer Systems

I've used this vendor many times in the past for cooling gear, with no problems. Last week I ordered a Thermalright SLK-948U and fan for my new Intel system. Everything went fine, as usual with the order. Had it shipped USPS Priority (USPS was the only shipper used I believe). Got my shipping confirmation and checked a couple nights later and noticed they said they delivered it that morning. Confused (because I'd checked the mailbox earlier that day) I went and checked again. No package. I looked around the front of the house to see if the post office had left the package, or a note to pick it up at the local post office or something. Nothing like that. It was Friday night past closing time for the post office, so I decided I'd call them the next day to find out what was going on. I called them the next morning and was told the tracking site was sometimes wrong and it was probably on a truck for delivery. Since the shipment was supposed to be 2 or 3 days and this was the third day, I figured I'd wait to see. Went and got the mail later that day and of course, no package. I called the post office again and was told there was nothing they could do! I was like, WTF? Anyway, I went ahead and sent an email to Sidewinder about the issue and I got a reply saying they'd look into the issue. Later today, I got an email saying they were still investigating, but in the meantime they were reshipping my order

To me, that's super that they're not waiting on a claim to be filed or a resolution to the problem, but are taking care of this themselves. I know I will continue to buy from them for all of my cooling needs!

They're great. Got some good prices there too. Got me a slk947u and 92mm fan from there a few months ago and they shipped em out fast.

IMO, almost all the specialty cooling vendors are like that. I've read all these fantastic stories about them, and that's totally awesome to hear Like SVC (multiple stories from serlv (Zippy) at XtremePCCentral), FrozenCPU, Jab-Tech, 1CoolPC (Rourkchris at XPC).
