My experience with this company has been great. I purchased a new laptop computer from ISTNC via eBay. Normally, I would not use eBay for large purchases but their 100% positive feedback rating and high score at this site assured me that it would be safe. Payment was quick and painless and communication and a summary of payment came immediately afterwards.
Shipping information was then sent on the next business day and shipped out on time. ISTNC gave me the correct tracking info and I received the computer on time without any damage.
The computer was packaged securely with Styrofoam and multiple boxes and bubblewrap. All info, CDs and product licenses were included in separate containers. The laptop had a sheet of protective material between the screen and keyboard to prevent scratches and booted up without a problem.
Only minor issue was a stuck pixel but that problem is widespread and although annoying, falls under the minimum number of dead pixels to qualify. The other issue was the free Windows Vista Business upgrade coupon that was included in the sale. When I went to visit the site to redeem the coupon, I was told that all upgrades have expired. I emailed Gwen and she promptly replied explaining the situation how she has contacted Microsoft for the correct coupon.
So far, I have been using it for a little over a week and I have encountered zero problems. ISTNC did not install the typical bloatware that you can find on the other large OEMs like Dell and HP.
On another note, I was pleasantly surprised to find that ISTNC had included a messenger bag with the computer, something that was not specified in the eBay auction. This messenger bag is sturdy and hold the notebook and accessories, as well as other compartment for holding paper, supplies and writing instruments.
