Any Canadians here ever order from Monarch?

[oskhan]

Just wondering if any Canadians here have ordered from Monarch Computers? How was the experience? How long did they take to deliver? What delivery service did you choose, and was it good?

Id love to hear some impressions.

Thanks guys

I am looking to order from them as well. From the experiences of other 'nucks the shippign takes around 1 1/2 - 2weeks for the standard shipping/non-expedited. Their service is apparently excellent, rivalling that of newegg.

Btw, I am a nuck.

i can't get crap locally here in windsor, otherwise the same for me too
ncix.com is my newegg in canada, plus next-day shipping for $10 on most stuff

IMO NCIX is good for almost anything, but video cards.

These last 2 gens of vid cards have been savagely over-priced.

This time around 825$ CAD gets you an EVGA 7800gtx, and even more for the BFG. While last gen the X800Xt was also pegged at around $700CAD.

But like I said, they are a good store, I have bought from them many times before. The best thing about them is that I don't pay shipping because I live in Vancouver. 😎

I usually goto ATIC or Anitec in Vancouver.

NCIX usually has good prices, but I've also had good experiences with RB Computing in Ottawa, ON.
