Question about etailers

[Hozer]

I am about to order a full system from newegg, excluding the processor. I have had great luck with newegg in the past, so I have absolutely no reservations about ordering from them.

I would like to order relatively soon, so if you have any experience with www.shopblt.com that you could relate to me, or any last minute suggestions on the parts I am ordering from NewEgg, I would greatly appreciate any, and all feedback!

Thank you to thoes of you more informed, and willing to lend a suggestion.

if you want to order a processor from another etailer order it from tiger direct or zipzoomfly.com. Zipzoomfly is a little more expensive sometimes but tiger direct shows nothing but backorders right now. Too bad newegg doesnt have any conroes

 

[Hozer]

Out of curiousity, are you suggesting a different etailer because shopblt is bad, or just as possible options?

 

[shadowduck]

I have never heard of them. They check out with the BBB. Only 1 compliant and it was resolved. It seems they used to be in the business of prepaid phone cards and only recently got into PC sales.

Always use www.resellerratings.com to find out if your etailer has been behaving themselves . If they have NO or a very small number of ratings it may be good to Check the BBB as well.

Hope this helps!

Here is the lookup for store name for shopblt.com LINK!

I like zipzoomfly better than newegg; if you think about your question, the fact that you need to ask it probably is its own answer.
In any case, it never hurts to call up/email the place and find out how soon they can ship.

Well, I agree that if I need to ask, then it answers itself. The thing I was thinking more of, is that they apparently are getting in ~3000 E6600's on the 4th, and haven't sold them out, and are not even close to doing so. This being said, people are frantically trying to get ahold of these, so a deal that good would obviously seem like something to be questioned. I was just curious if anyone else had purchased one from www.shopblt.com, or a different site? I am real excited (like most) to get a new system, but before I order, I want to make sure its the right stuff.
