    I agree. I was not trying to offend anyone which makes this quite funny.

    I thought he would become a buddy if he saw me in coconut shells. Who can resist? If posting a picture of my phat arse so everyone can laugh at me is not an olive branch I do not know what is

    I earned a gut on myself these past couple years as well. Could stand to lose about 30 or 40 pounds.

    i just made my first order from them on the june 8th and got the package on the 17th. i ordered 3 noiseblocker fans, and two of them are "defective" because they have this irritable clicking noise when the spin. does anyone about their quality checks or know if they check their stuff before shipping the items out? and are there any performance-pc reps on this forum or should i just email them about this? first time i payed for premium fans and 2 of the 3 are bad

    EDIT: i was also charged for 5.40lbs, when the package was really only 3.0lbs. how do they get these shipping "estimates", because this is almost double the actual weight. how they handle all this will determine if i'll buy anything from there again.

    Most times, quality control is left up to the manufacturer, because if the distributor were to take it out of the package to test it before shipping it to you, they will have essentially sold you a used product.

    They have a very bad habit of substituting parts.

    I would just like to add that I contacted them and they happily are going to send me my correct waterblocks as long as I send them back the incorrect ones, which to me is perfectly fine.

    Reading through this thread I have come to a conclusion that most people who have problems with PPC are people who don't respect human fault.

    Reading the OP's emails I did personally think he could have been a little more respectful and understanding of the whole situation even if he didn't want to. I understand some people find that hard to do but sometimes you just need to dig deep and realise what's best for the situation at hand. He might not believe that he should be nice because he's the customer and regardless of his attitude he will eventually get what he wants. My order was over $1600 so sure I was angry and frustrated when I realised they sent me the wrong block, but hey, sh*t happens right?

    I approached PPC with the calm and respectful person I believe I am and look where it got me. They refunded the huge shipping overcharge which I didn't explicitly ask for, only hinted to them. They are also cross-shipping my proper blocks with the ones I need to ship back to them to ensure that I get them as soon I can.

    I just think that when people approach merchants they should bare in mind that even if they are angry or emotional about the situation, conducting yourself in a calm and professional manner will get you much further than acting immature (I'm not saying the OP did) and being extremely rude about the situation.

    Whether you think its right or wrong, act professionally, it's the best way.

    Sure PPCs have wide variety of selections but do they have all in stocks?
    I wish they mark they pages when the stuff's out of order..

    Also, I would not recommend ordering more than 5 items with them because twice they screwed me up with my orders (over 10 items). Strangely, every time this happens it's always missing parts I paid for, not overshippment. One time I had to prove it wasn't shipped.

    If you are in a dire need of getting particular parts, looks else where..you may end up wasting time waiting for parts which you won't get with such a disappointment.
