Quote from Wiznaz : Just off the phone with customer service and then the manager. CSR was nasty right from the start and wouldn't change my order to Free Shipping because the card went out of stock as I was checking out. Apparently items that aren't in stock do not qualify for Free Shipping. I requested to be forwarded to the manager and he changed it to Free Shipping but the next batch won't arrive until mid-MARCH. So I canceled the order. My deal was not so slick after all.

I placed an order yesterday evening and ran into the same problem in that the free shipping wasn't an option. I went ahead and placed the order since it still seemed like a good deal. I just received an email stating that my order was canceled due to a "Failed CVD code" with my credit card info, and I will need to place a new order. Allegedly I entered this wrong even though I have never done that before. Conveniently the price has gone back up to 299.99. I might have canceled as well if they were really weren't expecting to ship for a month, but I feel that they were less than honest in handling this.

Sorry to hear that. Was it a girl that you initially spoke with?

The one that I did left quite a bit to be desired with in the customer service department.

Yes, it was a female. ATI card deals have been popping up pretty frequently so I'd rather wait for the next one.

The female CSR I talked to said the next batch should be arriving on Friday...

The price is $219 when you intitally start the page.

After a bit, it turns to $299.99. Ouch.

Also, was her name "Nina" or something? I don't know if Slickdeals let's it's users be so privy with the information, but I talked to her a while ago for another deal. She was ... something that rhymes with rich and it wasn't fitch.

I don't remember her name but the manager's name is Richard. He told me the cards were OOS until mid march so I canceled my order. Now I'm pissed to see them back in stock but for an additional $100 the same day I canceled the order. I feel like calling back and yelling at them for their shady business tactics.

If you try to place an order, it will show it as out of stock. I'm still not convinced I put my credit card in wrong, but Richard showed me a screen print from their system showing the mismatched code and offered to have their system send me an email if the card goes on sale again. I offered to verify my credit card information, but clearly their goal was to avoid selling the item at the advertised price and cover their mistake of seemingly accepting an order on an OOS item. Either way the card is out of stock and there isn't much I can do. Richard probably gets yelled at all day long.

I always pay with Paypal whenever possible to avoid payment & security issues.

I do the same too, mostly because NCIX doesn't accept American Express naively. You have to go through PayPal.

Their manager replied to my email and allowed me to un-cancel my order. Still includes the games on the invoice too and is still eligible for the rebate which was great. I think he did well on his part.

Most of the In Stock items Usually ships in 5-8 business days??? I rather pay $20 more and buy from newegg or pay tax @ amazon.

Show me where Newegg and Amazon have this exact card for +$20 and in stock. Neither site has them.

I'm not saying about this card.

I meant I rather spend a bit more (maybe better card likes Sapphire 7870 Tahiti) rather than headache buying from company that takes over 1 full week to ship an in stock items.
Who knows what price would be for all that GPUs after ONE week?
