Recently my best friend asked me to build him an ass kicking machine. After much research we ordered a new Conroe, Intel 975X, 2GB of Corsair DDR2, 2 500 G HDD, Samsung DVD-R, Themaltake Case and a Kilowatt PS.
The MB and Memory got backordered. The memory got back ordered in a very interesting way. The first box came in and I took out the Conroe, 7950 Vid Card, Drives and supposedly the memory. The memory was scratched out on the packing slip and the lets B/O was written on it.
We called Zip Zoom a number of times, left voice mails and sent emails. Finally my buddy got hold of them. He tried to cancel the MB (another story on that in a minute) but they said it was sent. They also argued with him about the memory. He finally told them they either ship the memory or he would call his CC Company and put a stop on the order. They then said they would send the memory. As of today 9/14 no memory.
A package did come today. It was the Motherboard. It was not the 975X board we ordered but an open box 915 board with a bunch of floppy cables. No manuals or anything else.
I usually order from Newegg, I have only used Zip Zoom for small things. Has anyone had any issues like this? Is this typical of them? To say I am not happy would be an understatement. The reason we used them was that Newegg was out of stock on the stuff we wanted.
We are going to order the memory and MB from Newegg and send the B&^**!@#+ board back and the memory when it comes in. But I bet they will say we switched the MB and put in the 915.
I am pissed.
