I’m kinda bummed. I ordered some stuff either on black friday/cyber monday and most of my stuff still hasn’t arrived. Although one thing did arrive today (which I ordered two weeks ago) and it arrived with someone elses order. Yeah, I got their invoice and address. I’ve contacted the company (World Market in this case) and am waiting for a reply back. One hell of a mistake too man, someone ordered three glass pillars and the shipment is worth $119.
Then of course I ordered a R9 290 a few days ago via TigerDirect (selling my 6950 and decided to upgrade) and my payment STILL hasn’t been processed. I have lots of stuff I ordered two weeks ago and the only thing I got was that stupid package today, plus my new CPU and two hard drives. What the hell? Did NewEgg, WorldMarket, TigerDirect etc etc pull a Wal-Mart and deliberately under staff themselves? This is bullshit! This is grade A 100% bullshit. Of course I’ve received emails from places like NewEgg saying “Your order may be slightly late due to the volume of Black Friday”. No, I think companies are deliberately under staffing their employees and it’s causing trouble for the few people who are scrambling to get anything done, and the customer waiting on the other end. I didn’t have problems like this at any other time of the year, so why now? I’m not the only one complaining about slow mail. There are lots of people out there who have ordered new parts and presents and the services have been slow as hell.
I regret waiting to buy that card. I didn’t expect the latest coin craze to cause such a drought on the GPU marketplace. I never could have predicted litecoin.
