Well I ordered a Hard drive on Pricewatch from them despite the reviews here I soon learned many of those reviews were indeed correct.
I ordered the drive on a Friday night. Called Saturday afternoon to make sure the order went through ok and they had seen the note about pricewatch so as to get the advertised price. I got a recording, but since it was a Saturday I figured maybe they just weren't open.
Monday I called again and ask why my order was on hold. (I checked the website order status page and it said it was on hold) I was told the USPS kept loosing their packages and was then ask if I wanted to ship it FedEx, for $36. That was way more than what I wanted to pay for the advertised "free shipping". So I told them no thanks just send it USPS she said ok.
Wednesday I called them again because the order was still on hold and was told the drives were out of stock and wouldn't be in until next week. So I canceled the order and ordered from another company. The lady was polite and canceled it right away.
One catch that might get some of you is to call them it's a long distance call no 1-800 number, I use my cell phone so it doesn't cost me anything.
So buyer beware, they sell things they don't have in stock and won't notify you at all about the delay this might cause. Because it was for personal use it didn't matter so much. However had I been building someone else a computer that wasted week would have been very uncomfortable.
