lol, THE ONLY REASON I did not jump on that opteron 165 deal. But driving half an hour to the nearest fedex warehouse isn't that bad...Rogue4mula said:because of the signature required garbage, I have not and never will buy from them

eh a highly regarded company for sure but less highly regarded as of late than it once was. one of my biggest complaints of newegg, which is a recent thing, is the individual item shipping charges. i remember back when they had a total shipping charge. but now they do it individually and im telling you, on a lot of the things they ship, they are NOT paying nearly as much to ups to ship those products as they are charging to ship them. for example i just bought two usb flash drives. together they were incredibly light and took up VERY little space. i paid ten dollars for shipping, five dollars a piece. lets say i had bought six of those drives. i know for sure it wouldve costed much less than ten, probably 8 to ship the drives, when i end up paying 30. its like the egg is charging people who buy the less expensive products to make up for them offering free shipping on the high value products. they really should cease this per product shipping scheme.Astrogiblet said:lol. Your bashing a well known, VERY highly regarded company for following tax laws? And they ship fedex shipping too, ya know?
Quite Fucking True. Basically, not saying anything on this matter even though you advertised Monarch to us looks VERY bad on [H]ardocp too. So as grown adults, it'd be most responsible if you shed light on this Kyle. whats going on with the recent removal of Monarch advertisements and Monarch deals in the hotdeals?arcturus said:How can [H] learn from this?
Clearly when a vendor is sponsored by a site and is permitted to advertise, it's reasonable to expect that the site in turn has an implied responsibility to its members to assure that the vendor is living up to its end of the bargain.
As this is a higher standard, member criticisms, especially those that show a consistent and repeated nature, need to be resolved in prompt fashion, not in knee-jerk reaction such as thread deletion or member ban. It looks pretty hypcritcal for members to be banned only to discover their complaints were indeed justified and the vendor is pulled.
Perhaps a sponsored vendor subforum might be in order. After all, poor service by the vendor makes the site look bad too. On the other hand, successful resolution in a public forum is seen as a great characteristic, a company we'd like to deal with in the future.
NordicRX8 said:The only thing I have ever ordered from Monarch was an OCZ Powerstream PSU. That was over a year ago. CC was charged immediately, took 3 days for the order to be processed and then it shipped. Other than the "process time", everything went smoothly.
Was getting ready to order a CPU from Monarch when C2D hit and AMD prices dropped... then I started reading about all the problems... I went elsewhere for my CPU (newegg. in stock, order charged and shipped same day, delivered in 2 days instead of 3).

i think its VERY unethical for a company to profit off of the shipping and handling. too bad there isnt a law against it. cuz i know for fucking DAMN SURE NewEgg is cleaning up on Shipping and handling.Met-AL said:Yep. It stops me from buying little items from them. They stick them all in the same box and the total weight is still under the mininum weight on UPS's rate table, but you still pay for each one to be shipped. Not cool.
jcll2002 said:lol im just some guy on a bunch of different forums.
I just posted in a few spots telling people MY experience with monarch, seeing that so many wont buy from them unless "good" reports come in.
EDIT: WTF? I never posted that on reseller ratings! Thats not me! Thats really stupid and annoying.
EDIT2: that seems to be the second monarch alias. damn, thats really stupid.
