info on bunta.com?

[markuskidd]

I placed an order at bunta.com on the 10th, got an email saying it would be shipped on the 11th, but checking the order status every day and it's still saying 'checking inventory.' never got a tracking number for the ups shipment.
i have emailed their order status email as well as submitting a contact form on their site, to no avail.
i've tried calling 10-15 times a day for the last two days, but keep getting a voicemail message about the volume of calls being to high. anyone have any pending orders with these guys that are working out? any tips on how to get ahold of them on the phone?
if this is OT for this forum, i'll move it. seemed the most likely candidate though.

You aren't alone. Avoid them in the future.

wow they used to be really good back in the day...one of the first retailers on pricewatch.

Argh.... why is AnandTech recommending this company in their buyer's guides? I paid a little bit more for them just because I figured AT knew what it was talking about. Should've checked the ratings anyway... thx for the info.

Hehe, they shipped my motherboard about a month after i ordered it. I totally forgot about the motherboard when it came. "What the hell....a motherboard?!"

One of those complaints was mine...

There was a time they used to be really good, but have gone way downhill since....

I bought a GF2 Ultra from them back when that was the "must have" card. Transaction went smooth. Haven't bought from them since and after seeing their rating, I won't be buying from them again.

Blame Newegg!
Before Newegg came to the market, Bunta is a highly recommended online place to shop.
Then, Bunta was going downhill - higher price, fewer product selections, rip-off shipping charge.
Bunta and many other pricewatch rip-off shipping vendors are killed by Newegg.
