They are rife with errors in pricing, mislabeling items, and all sorts of other shenanigans and unlike a decent store who will at least lie to you and tell you that the item is no longer available, or do the right thing and say there is a pricing error, they'll actually ship you the wrong item, and then make you go through the song and dance of getting a refund.
Ordered a GTX 970 that was listed at $250ish, which is a really good price but not an obvious pricing error since NewEgg was selling one or two models in the $260 range (after MIR), but with the 20NOW coupon it did become a great price. But they sent me a 960 instead, and to rub salt in the wound, it's actually cheaper (no MIR) at newegg than the price I paid with the 20NOW coupon code.
The real kick in the nuts for me was this was a cyber monday purchase so me assuming I got a good deal on something I left it at that, and didn't look at another video card after all was said and done. So missed that boat as well. Tried to get them to give me a little restitution, but that struck out twice and after my 3rd email back to them they got tired of me telling them off and just emailed me back a return address form to print out.
Now here's the real schwarmy thing, they said there was a pricing error and removed the listing and my order history still shows the part number in question as a 970, but when I click on it the page it goes to has the name of a 960, the part number of a 960 and the description of a 960, except for a few things the pictures are of the 970 and the "additional features" are of a 970, 4G ram, 1664 cuda cores, even though it's listed as no longer available there was some effort to change the listing (even if it was an automated thing).
So my recommendation, don't ever shop at Jet.com even with a $50 rebate on items you're going to end up paying more than elsewhere, and there's probably a "listing error" for an inferior product, you want a 980? it's probably a 970, you want a 970 it's probably a 960, you want a 960 (for some reason) it's probably a 950.
Seriously fuck those clowns
