goharddrive.com any better than it used to be?

Recently purchased 2 new 4tb HGST SATA HD's from newegg and noticed after the fact that the seller was goharddrive.com. I started looking into them and am finding mixed feelings. Seems older reviews of the company (circa 2013 or there abouts) rated them with just about nothing but negative. But I look now on newegg's seller ratings, reviews, and other areas and they don't seem to be getting the negative beat they used to.

Anyone order from there? Any more recent experience? Too late for me to cancel now as the order shipped the same day I placed it, guess we'll see what comes of it.

They are bad news, from packing things badly to horrible customer support and questionable products. Check reseller ratings as well.
I would contact the shipper, and refuse the package.

Ugh I'm hoping I'm one of the lucky ones. I don't usually question ordering something off of newegg but I'll have to pay closer attention in the future. I guess I should have known the price was too good to be true. $113 per 4tb drive vs $150+ per 4tb drive by HGST. Crossing my fingers here...

Most people must not be too tech savvy based on there 5 egg rating :-/
