Lied about condition of product. Advertised as "new". Came scratched up and dusty. Clearly used.
Would not make this right. Ignores emails now.

“This customer bought a $10 300W ATX power supply that was a new pull(never sold or used before) from new case to upgrade the case for customer order. We told this customer that supplies were bulk and stored together, and hence may have gotten scratched and dusty since they were in stock a long time and were put on sale... Customer claims he received used supply but that is simply not true, and he did admit it worked fine and he has had no problems with it. We offered this customer a refund, but he refused it and said it was working fine. We can't help it if he won't believe us. We have sold many of these same 300W power supplies and never received a complaint. Any scratches would not be visible inside a computer case. ”

Ordered some Round ATA cables on 11/16, received confirmation email right away. On Monday, Credit card was charged already, but received notice that items were out of stock, and asking what I would like to do. I immediately just said forget it, and asked to cancel the entire order. They emailed back same day, saying items are now in stock and would be sent out immediately ??? and that it is too late to cancel my order because it was already "processed". I was a little worried at this point, but decided to wait it out because I wasn't in a hurry for the parts.
Fast forward to 11/26, no sign of package, no further emails. I email them and firmly ask WTF is going on. They respond, package has "already" shipped, and give me DC #. I check the Tracking information, hasn't entered sytem yet, enters the next day (already shipped eh??).
Received package on 11/30.
Everything was there, no packing invoice.
So two weeks, for "priority shipping" of items that were "in stock".
The price was very good, but the blatant lying about inventory and shipping was not appreciated.
I would order again if the price was really cheap, but never depend on them for any communication/honesty/fast shipments.
6/10 rating for me.

Dell.com

Ordered a 80 gig WD SE drive w/free next day shipping. Got a confirm order email right away. Waited 5 more days, then got email saying order will be delayed for 14 additional days!!! So it takes them 3 weeks to get a new shipment of Hard drives in? Not impressed with first attempt with Dell. And their "overnight shipping" is definently not overnight. It took the B@st@rds 5 days to look in the warehouse and see they were out of HDD's.

However, with the online coupons floating around, good deals can still be found here. Just don't pay extra for any faster shipping services.

CompUSA Retail Stores, not compusa.com

Just bought a Maxtor 60 gig 7200 drive. for $60 after Rebate. No problems here.

Previously bought a 80 gig WD for $120 after rebate. Received the rebate in about 6 weeks.
Bought several small items...such as CDR media, NIC's, sound cards. No problems at all. Bought a audigy x-gamer, and could not get the included game to work at all. Exchanged it twice with no hassle at all, and then finally just returned it for cash, no re-stocking fee. Price adjustments also took care of with no attitude or glares.
So far so good. Maybe I've just been lucky or my store just has friendly employees. :D

Will keep shopping here. Not online though...shipping costs, plus tax is too much.

Bad Experience with Bestbuy.com...

Tried to order an Antec power supply from them. Checked the in-store pickup availability, and a store near me listed it as in stock. So I place order and wait for confirmation...Takes them one day to confirm that I requested to pick up the PSU at the store, but I still have to wait for another email telling me it's "ready" for pickup. 3 more days pass and I get an email saying the store no longer has them in stock. @#%$%!!!!!

Best Buy's stores aren't too bad as long as you don't talk to any of their employees about computers. But I will never try to order from bestbuy.com again.

I have ordered from newegg 6 or 7 times. Never a problem. Prices are almost the lowest, great customer service, good shipping time/prices.
I have even order 2 refurbished mobo's from them. Both worked just fine.
Newegg is always my first place to look for products!
