Ordering from SuperBiiz? NCIXUS?

[SteveGrabowski]

What do you guys think about SuperBiiz and NCIXUS? I remember building a gaming system back in 2001 and being so frustrated with how long it took some retailers to ship components they had in stock. And then I started ordering exclusively from newegg and very occasionally amazon ever since, and I always get my stuff quickly. But sometimes SuperBiiz and NCIXUS have great prices. I was wondering if they offer the same quick delivery though. I don't want to be waiting for 1.5-2 weeks when I order a piece of hardware anymore.

I take a gander at NCIXUS once in a while, but never have ordered from them. I think they are in Southern California?

Within the last week, I was looking at NCIXUS forums, where I saw some complaining about shipping times and stuff being out of stock. I don't know how true it is, but you might want to look at their forums.

You're right---occasionally they are very cheap on certain items, but I don't know if you can necessarily count on getting the stuff within 3 or 4 days like you can with Newegg or Amazon.

That sucks. I don't think Newegg has ever taken more than 5 business days to ship something, even when I have ordered on Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, etc.

I would guess most of those complains are due to people ordering a part that's backordered and didn't realize it. I've had them ship in at most 48 hours for me.

The only thing that can be a bit of a "gotcha" with NCIXUS is that I often see parts that are aggressively priced, but they never (or least rarely) include shipping, which can definitely change the value equation if you're only ordering one or two parts.
