Best online tech store NOT in california

[saqdeez]

Ok i usually buy from NEWEGG or ZIPZOOMFLY, and i have lived on east coast for many years. I just moved to beautiful southern california, and the only problem is that now i will pay hefty tax with these two places when buying computer stuff. So who is my #1 backup for low price and overall quality?

outpost, svc, monarchpc, jab-tech, frozencpu, and directron are the other places i get stuff. i dont have a clue where their place of business are located, though.

SVC is in California. It's like in Fremont or Milpitas, CA, basically like 15 min from me...

I highly recommend Monarch.

Monarch, but they suck. Pay sales tax and go with newegg. You'll never regret dealing with them.

 

[suicidalpigeon]

I've used monarch. They're a little slow but I ordered just before July 4th weekend and that big tax free event or whatever.

monarch slow shipping but that didnt bother me becuase i wasnt in any hurry i also ordered durring a busy weekend so that might have been why.

Monarch...they don't suck...newegg prices do, but their cust service is good. I personally have never had slow shipping from Monarch. Always gotten it 2-3 days after order.

 

[Insomniak]

Monarch or Directron.
