However, absolute worst customer support experience I have ever seen.
Well, they have stock most of the time, preorders are shipping when forecasted, so that's definitely a plus.
Prices are competitive and they have more variety than Amazon.
However, absolute worst customer support experience I have ever seen.
I had purchased new components for a build - the GPU, somewhere around 2300euro.
Here's where it get spicy:
The motherboard came without 4 missing pins on the socket, but I had already set up the SSDS and the RAM by the time I opened the CPU latch.
I look at the socket and I'm thinking "Yeah, this is not going to work". Now, I've heard of some cases where depending on what pins are missing it might post, and since I didn't have another AM5 board I decided to connect the PSU and set up the CPU regardless to see if the other components at least work.
What did I learn from this? Well at least I got got LED diagnostics running on the motherboard and luckily it seems like the rest of the components are ok.
And so, I put the motherboard back together and ship it back. It took a week to arrive, althought it should take 2 days.
It was in their possession for a full week without offering any clear answer to support queries, always coming back with "We appreciate the patience and apologize, we'll get to you as soon as possible", every time in a different way.
Eventually they do get to my motherboard and argued they cannot refund me because I set up the components on the motherboard, although the issue is with the socket itself, which I have notified them arrived in that condition.
They couldn't care less, they noticed I reinstalled the socket brackets the other way around, as I had to take them off to set up my NH-D15 and tried to argue that I damaged the motherboard, like that's even relevant.
They gave me 2 choices. Either be sent back a damaged socket motherboard or pay 70 or more euros to get the motherboard manufacturer to fix it.
I would rather take a 350 euro hit than give you a single more cent, that's how disgusted I am.
