Was this a "safe" buy?

[jimmyj68]

I just ordered an Antec P-160 from ZipZoomFly for $90, NewEgg is aking $120. Is there something I don't know? Might I be getting a second or damaged case for the price difference?

 

[jimmyj68]

OOPS, just rechecked, the Egg wnats $110, still quite a price difference.

Im sure that you are fine.
ZipZoomFly is a reputable retailer.

ZipZoomFly is a good retailer, and they often seem to have lower prices than newegg.

Yea, I kinda thought ZipZoomFly was OK. I used to buy from them back before they changed their name. Can't remember what they used to be. There must be a lot of room between what they pay Antec and what we pay them.

They're not as fast shipping as Newegg but their prices are generally cheaper. They also have free shipping on a lot of items so one can forgive the longer shipping times. By longer we're talking 1-2 days so nothing major if you don't need it right away. I wouldn't hesitate to order from ZZF again.

I've dealt with both Newegg and ZipZoomFly. The egg is a tiny bit faster, but they both have great service and quick RMA turnaround times.

I believe Antec sells a windowed (which I have) and a non-windowed version of the P160. Are you comparing the same versions? I thought the windowed version cost a little more - but that observation was made months ago and may not still be operable.

I have actually found them to ship equally fast, sometimes faster, as almost everything from ZZF is 2 day shipping, while standard from the egg is Express Saver, which is like 2-4
