What online retailers do you trust?

[hoofhearted4]

so ive seen people use this PCPartPicker before, so i figured id give it a try. at first glance it seems nice. i can save ~$100 if i were to build my build using this, and since they get their items from more then one place, stock isnt an issue. but, i dont have any experience with most online retailers besides Newegg...other then that i know of TigerDirect. Amazon is another, ive bought many things from them, but never PC items, but i think i could trust them (as long as i get a new item, not used)...does anyone know if this website (PCPartPicker) gives you the price of a new item off Amazon, and not a used one? i would hate for it to list a low price from Amazon, but have that price be a used price.

 

anyways, from that list, here is what i feel like i could trust.

 

Amazon

Newegg

TigerDirect

NCIX US

 

and those are the ones im sure i could trust...all the others im not sure about. that includes Best Buy, i dont know if i would buy something like PC parts from them, but idk, thats where you all come in. so basically, if any of you have any experience with any of these, it would be great to know. they also list a bunch of retailers like HP, Microsoft, Dell, etc. which i wouldnt buy anything from them anyways, since im building my PC but yea, i didnt list those.

 

thanks for your help guys....lol all this in a quest to save ~$100 :P

 

 

NOTE:

 

the "Blah" choice is because you need to choose something in both sections. if you only choose something in one section, just choose blah in the other section to make it happy :thumbsup:

In saying ~trust do you mean trusted to sell you #gear that wont FaiL within a few days of purchase

or more that, they could/will take all your personal data and 'sell' it on... so your never free of #spam

and junk in your mail @Inbox..!

 

a) Imo always check your own #rig is not compromised with any type of 'Key-logger' virus when purchasing

online and use the #virtual keyboard function found in most Security Suits.

 

appolos' for poss sounding a d#mb-ass. I don't buy gear online but prefer a local #Computer Store guess

I'm jus' pAraNoiD..!? :wacko:

Wow this is a really big difference with my country.

 

I only trust online retailers here in the Netherlands, and they are far cheaper than the ''main street'' stores.

Newegg and I guess TigerDirect. TD was an alright site back a few years ago, today it just looks horrible. The layout is pretty confusing, but I guess that's what happens when you join forces with CompUSA :P

 

Never ever buy PC parts at Best Buy. They mostly sell the generic brands and they cost double the price of Newegg and TD. We just got a small Best Buy last year and I've been there twice :P Two times I was there, I wanted to puke :P $65 for 4GB of PNY DDR3 1066 RAM...'nuff said.

you know we arent on Twitter right?

 

and by trusted i mean, would you buy PC parts from there?.....the other thing that would big me about using a site like that, is if i have to do an RMA, it gunna be more of a pain in the Ass.

 

there are no PC stores anywhere near where i live. i dont even know if there are any in my State lol.

 

and no, i wouldny buy form Best Buy. not PC parts anyways.

[blove]

Newegg for the most part. I miss having a Fry's right down the road though.

[Thor.]

We have a Tigerdirect.ca store near by as i mentioned before, i have a couple of times went there just to browse and its amazing what you find there that you would have never thought of getting :teehee:

 

 

Its like a giant bestbuy or futureshop but with pc parts as far as you can see :biggrin:

i wish i had that here. i wanna try out a mechanical keyboard before i buy one, but i have no place to try those.

Just be careful they are fazing out wired usb keyboards witch is a downgrade in my opinion, double aa batterys suck. No usb charging dock witch they should be using. Edited March 3, 2012 by Thor.
