Highway robbers with silver tongues are not your friends.
In any sane place, these people would be the last resort, frowned upon, and hopefully running out of business, their strategy is anti long term customer loyalty, but they seem to flourish in Lebanon; the place where the moteur repair guy is the building's best friend because he secretly increased your load for a 20,000 LL bribe.
Warranty? Do you really think they have a return policy with whatever USA online website they bought it from? Or that they will accept the 500$ loss because they gave you their word? They just say it to make you not suspect that there might be something wrong with this piece (not that there IS actually anything wrong with it, but it might, you never know).
The only place I buy from is pcandparts no matter how long they need to deliver, respectable people, logical prices.
Alot of shit always gets spoken about pcandparts, that they put items that are not in stock, that their warranty is bull (their RMA is real went through it hassle-free 2 times already). After a long analysis, the conclusion is that they have a huge database to update, and most of their business is drop-shipping (google it); yes sometimes you build your PC on paper only to find out from their email reply that 1 piece of this super pc is actually out of stock; yes it is frustrating, but workable.
The rest of the sellers are not better if: they have 10% of pcandparts' choices, 30% more expensive, but do a better job at updating the stock count.
Give your money to people who deserve it or keep getting robbed, every year.
This Is the "sterotype" and belief I used to believe that PC&Parts has the most comprehensive list of parts & best prices. Well frankly it is wrong.
Draw Back 1 :PC&Parts Doesnot do special orders , unless he states specific items as "special orders " example you cannot pick any thing on Amzaon for example and tell them to order to you a smilar item while SpotNet Does as an example. I need a k70 LUX and I dont want to enter the hustle of shipment , PC&Parts doesnot order it for me for example.
Draw Back 2: The ASUS ROF Swift Pg279Q is not availabe in stock only the older Tn version (Pg278q) and the 4k Pg27aq - I sent them an Email they say N/A- Meanwhile ASUS distributors has it & wide available at stock and attained per oder.
Product List/Pricing: Listing a wide arrange of products on the website doesnot mean they are exclusive and have the largest variety - many shops I know doesnot have any website & they can order any part PC&Parts has (From Distributors that sell PC&Parts) , Same Source with competing prices. For Example PC&Parts offered me a lump sum on a products' I ordered (I assumed that Only PC&Parts has Corsair cloosed loops , NZXT , HUE + ... ) I sent the same list to GCS and suprisingly they offered me the same products' with less lump sum.
Replenshing of Products: Same as other shops , not available at Major Distributors = N/A at PC&Parts List even till now they didnot place a shipment of the 1070s/1080s.
MSI GTX 1070 Gaming: On Newegg it is listed for USD 440 , I got it at 610 USD ~ (610 - 440)/440 = 38% increase with VAT , shipment , and Profit Margin.Let us see what PC&Parts price hopefully not available on stock in September lol.
No Drop & Visit the shop - blind assembly , which I hate.
