Should i buy GFX from Ebuyer?

[Mandible]

I am buying the GFX card, a powercolor x1950x pro 512mb, for my PC build this christmas, and i am wondering if it would be ok to buy from ebuyer, as scan are out of stock and more pricy. Is the standard packaging on a GFX card good enough to protect it from being bashed about by citylink, or not?

Should i request it be padded, or wait until scan come back into stock?

You not aware that both them companies use citylink for all they're deliveries?

Just order it form ebuyer, they're pretty good.

CityLink are fine in my area, all couriers seem to let people down at one time or another

now, that scan used citylink, i didnt know, but i had heard scan package stuff up with airbags well.

You will be fine.

And if it does arrive dead.. then just complain and you will get another.

lol, then sell the broken one on ebay!! with a tiny disclaimer at the bottom saying it doesn't work

EDIT: bought... arriving on wednesday.

I've never had a single problem with ebuyer, even though some people don't like using them.

If i had a choice out of ebuyer or scan, I'd definately pick scan! They are top notch!

My previous graphics card orders from ebuyer have been perfectly packaged, but I did order a few other components from them too, so it came in a large cardboard box

eBuyer have really sorted their RMAs now, they are the best in the UK of the large retailers for returns service in my experience.

You go on the site, request an RMA, within a few hours they have arranged citylink to pick it up from you free of charge, and then you get a new one sent out within a day or two. Awesome!

Only problem I can see is if having the item picked up is difficult for you

I've only ever brought 3 things from ebuyer, 2 were rma's DOA

well if they've sorted their rma issue, be my guest but it took me 10 weeks to get a tenner back off them for them adding some stupid triple postage to something which in the end arrived 2 or 3 days late.. :S that wasn't fun

but if they really have sorted that online e-card crap then great lol i guess i found other retailers to replace them since then
