My girlfriend needed a laptop for an upcoming trip to Japan. I decided she would be happy with the new Asus Z71v, which was only released this month. I only found 6 vendors carrying it, and nobody I usually deal with…

I looked around the various message boards and vendors sites, and decided to order from Geared2play.com, they had the best price and a continuously helpful presence on a couple notebook forums. We ordered the laptop on April 11, they shipped via UPS from Brooklyn on the 13th, and it was delivered here in Minnesota on the 18th. (You do not need a paypal account to order from their website, I don't have one, paypal just handles the credit card transaction for them.)

The extra battery for the optical bay did not arrive with the laptop. I called Geared2play to check on it and spent about 30 minutes talking to Eddie about computers, he seems like a great guy and a good tech. He informed me that it was on backorder from Asus, and gave assurances that the battery would show up within a week or so, and that they had already emailed us about the issue (which they had, oops), it did arrive that Friday, the 22nd.

I have ordered a half dozen laptops the past couple months, this was my first from Geared2play, I will most certainly be doing business with them again. The order process was a breeze, the price was around $100 less then their competitors, everything arrived in great shape, and when I called I didn't spend even 1 second on hold.

We are extremely satisfied with the laptop and Geared2play. :)

I ordered a dozen inkjet cartridges for my canon i850 printer from these folks last week. I wasn't to sure about them, as they charged me just over a doller per cartridge then tacked on $7 for shipping. My total came out to $20.74, which is absurdly low for a dozen carts, just a fantastic deal, the retail price is about 10 times higher.

Anyways, I got an email letting me know my order had been processed the next day and they showed up a few days later USPS priority mail. I opened the box and found a dozen nicely packaged black inkjet carts in individual display boxes. I unwrapped one and found it looked exactly like the canon unit, except for the label. Even better, it seems to work just fine in my printer. They are not Canon OEM products and are clearly labeled as not being such on the box, not that I care, black ink is black ink...

Their website has a few broken image links (like the update cart button) and doesn't look to great, but they do seem to be a trustworthy business establishment.

I just ordered a bunch more stuff from them :)

----------------------------
I have been using these catridges for months now, they work great, both the colors and the black. Awesome deals, just awesome :)

I ordeed 5 shirts from jinx on a friday night and had all 5 shirts, in the proper sizes, by the next friday. Shipping costs were low, t-shirt prices were okay, and far more importantly, very funny :)

Good folks.

My order was fulfilled and arrived a day earlier then I expected, as usual with newegg. Everything was packed quite well, and the price was excellent. Newegg rocks :)

I had a small issue ordering a notebook a few days ago, they resolved it within hours and shipped the notebook for free via FedEx. Truly excellent service :)
