I ordered a XFX 5870 XXX super cool porn name edition from ncixus last week. The card showed in stock when I ordered it, and continued to show in stock for another 12 hours or so until it disappeared. They did not ship my card out before new year's day, but they did charge me in full
I didn't have any problem ordering from them since they looked pretty good from resellerratings.com and the only other place I could find the card was newegg- and I don't like using newegg anymore since I have had too many bad experiences.
Right now I strongly suspect that they don't even have a card for me, and are not going to ship it on monday, but have charged me for it anyways. Is this consistent with their service? Anyone else had this experience? I saw some old posts about people waiting to get their 5850's & 5870's from ncix- but no one really followed up on whether they got it or cancelled their orders or what.
I wish I could get one locally, fry's only has the 5850, I can hardly think of any online stores that have never completely screwed me over. Amazon, I guess- but they don't even seem to sell these cards directly, maybe outpost.com- but now that they are fry's.com they just don't have the same variety of hardware.
What to do? I think I will have to suffer through voicemail hell tomorrow, but I have a feeling that they will just string me along and say that my card is ready to ship, but not actually ship it.
