Where to buy DFI NF4 Expert?

[mdzcpa]

Anyone? Anywhere?

I have 2 7800GTX 512 cards and an FX57 CABNE 0530 justing sitting here waiting to go. Monarch "oversold" (as usual) and doesn't list the mobo as out of stock even though they have none (typical baiting crap I hate about Monarch).

Anyway, I'd appreciate any tips on whomight have the expert in stock in the USA.

Thanks.

Wow....they added insult to injury now. The boneheads at Monarch already charged my credit card and they don't even know when they will have stock again

Now I'm pissed

Can't you ask them to refund you the money?
Nice going from Monarch, charging someones CC, knowing that the board isn't in stock.

Are you 100% positive they don't even have 1 left, MIke? That would me messed up I've never had a problem with them, but then again, I never really was trying to buy stuff right when it showed up...

Sent my expert board in for RMA at Monarch, they got it today and shipped my new one. They just got a shipment in today about 4 hours ago (~80 boards).

Really? Man, I hope that is true. I received the following message from them at 1:24PM EST today:

"My records indicate there was an oversell on that item Mr. Zavislak. We sincerely apolgize for this delay."

They charged my card yesterday.

I hope you're right and it ships tomorrow. If not, I'll be cancelling and getting my credit back.

Well, I guess I owe Monarch an apology, the board just shipped! Although I am not happy about them charging my card early before confirming stock was in hand, I guess now that the board shipped, all is well.

I'm pleased that they have been there to carry this mobo before anyone else. But, I must say, I am spoiled by NewEggs live inventory and top notch customer service.

CPA - told you they had them! Glad it worked out for you. As for being spoiled by the Egg, I totally agree. Live stocking system is the only way to go. I HATE places that charge cards before verifying stock (ZZF is guilty of this too) the only difference is that they try to change the status to "Backordered" when they can...sometimes some get ordered before they do this and your order will hand in "PACKED" limbo for as long as they want. Gay. Anyway, Monarch is the only retailer that I know that gets these (they have a contract with DFI as an authorized reseller).

I don't know all the details but I'm pretty sure that a merchant is not allowed (by law) to charge a card until the item is verified in stock, packed and set for shipment. Anyone have any solid information on this? I'm mad at Monarch too about a couple of sales and would like to "straighten" them out.
