Chief Value now at 78.49 shipped. Looks like a new low. Newegg is 74.99 but shipping isn't free.

well just RMAed mine back to zipzoom bc one of the sticks didnt work :( The other stick worked great, just gotta wait for the RMA to come through Oh well, final price for me (assuming no problems with RMA)- $85.10

Oh well, it happens, still an awesome deal from a great company!

Finally jumped in for another Gig from CV at $78.48. This was too hard to resist as my previous Gig from Newegg was $104 and has worked very well. Thanks OP.

Here's one vote against ZipZoomFly here for this deal.

Already heard another member complain about the lack of packaging... same for me. It was just the RAM in Corsair's thin'n'flexable plastic, inside a shipping bag. The package arrived bent, and so was one of the sticks.

this is true, it isnt great at all. I also got some flexible folder with some padding, not to great protection for ram.

ZZF is offering the kit for $87 now since they have an exclusive $15 mail-in rebate.

That is for the CAS 3 version of this ram, not the same. This is the CAS 2.5 version.

Newegg charges tax for me. And if ZZF is bad, is no one else selling this cheap?

nah, its not bad enough not tobuy from them. The RAM will come through OK, im sure. I had to RMA but I do NOT believe it the result of packaging. The guy who had the bent stick of ram...idk what to tell you....you could try, theres just the increased risk of having to RMA. ZZF charges 15% restock fee on memory if you choose to do a refund.

Also dont forget abotu Monarch Computer. Still 81 shipped (unless you get taxed)

If you find some place with solid reseller ratings, I'll add it to the list. All four of these places are great companies.

OP updated!
