Thanks for the HDD's Onvia!

man that sucks i will never buy from them again as i am in ca and now would have to pay tax and shipping!

 

[DongTran]

This really bites. The low prices, free shipping, and no tax that they offered are what what drove me to buy them. Lame.

 

[eLuminati]

damn it.

I had fun buying pencils and packs of batteries and having'em delivered in big UPS boxes.
*sigh*

 

[Achilles81]

NOOOOOOO! Just as I was about to buy a whole bunch of crap from them too... my new machine will never be finished now.

 

[goophie]

does anyone know why exactly they needed to start charging tax and shipping?

 

[rpzero]

hmm...did this tax+shipping business just start today?? I ordered a full tower case from Onvia yesterday and it was free shipping and no tax. Good thing I did that coz this baby weighs like 25 lbs. and would cost a fortune to ship and the tax too! I'm glad I ordered yesterday!

I can't remember where I read it, but there was a press release stating that their sales were being taken over by another company. This means that Onvia doesn't need to keep stock doesn't have to worry about all of the shipping processes. I expected a change, but its does suck that they did away with the free shipping.

I got many good deals, but it looks like another one bites the dust!
