5/5

posted Feb-09-2006
I was a little skeptical to order a $500 video card, given the recent reviews: I’ve bought from page in the past, but it’s been a few years. I was in no hurry, so I went ahead with the purchase of an ATI Z1900XT. At $476.00, it was the best value I’d seen. My order was placed with ground shipping: Order placed 2-6-06. Verification email received immediately. Later that day, I decided to change to 3 day shipping. I sent a message through the site customer service, indicating my invoice number and to please change shipping to 3 days business as well as authorizing the change in cost. I received an email within 12 hours confirming the shipping change. On 2-7 I received a shipping notice with tracking number. On 2-9 (2 days later), I have my card in my machine. Well packed, all peripherals, which surprised me, considering it’s an OEM card.
For anyone leery about buying from Page computer, ask yourself three questions: Can I be just a little patient regarding email notification of each process? Will it hurt me if I don’t have my order next week instead of this week? Do I believe everything I read (meaning this, or any other reseller review)?
Anyway, my experience was good. The biggest difference from Newegg or Multiwave being I didn’t receive emails of every packing & approval process. Of course, I haven’t had a return issue, so I can’t declare Page a Newegg beater. (A little joke).
