NCIXUS.com sux

I ordered a heatsink for my 920 and I paid 20 bucks for FedEx Priority Air USA.
They claim they item will be shipped one day after my order is processed. It should have been shipped today and arrive this Friday. I ordered it Monday morning so I could have it by the weekend( I live in N.C.) to do my build. Now it will not get here until Next Monday(. It is being shipped from Canada. So now I must cancel my order and order it from Heatsink Factory if I want to get it by Friday.
I should have kept my **** money in the US.

Yeah it sucks, but there's so many computer online shop in the US, why did you choose it ? In Canada it's practically the only one that is kind of huge, and it's great here.

Yeah here NCIX is awesome, I get stuff shipped quick, and only pay for one of the taxes because I live in a different province.

Yeah, it's the + of NCIX, shipping is also decent when you are lucky with the shipping options.

On the other hand newegg.ca has generally cheaper options, easier website, more stuff, free shipping on some items, but I pay 2 taxes.

I can't imagine the price was so much better using NCIXus over the place you're using in place. And with so many other options - SO MANY - I'm very curious why you chose NCIX.
I've never had a problem with NCIX.

You guys in Canada need to stop paying those internet taxes, you are setting a real poor example for the rest of the world, including the US, to follow.

No custom fees when you buy from NewEgg.com nor NCIX. Or, if you order from here, just ask the seller to send the thing as a gift...

you cant order from newegg.com from canada am i right? if so then newegg.ca is shipping from the state but does business in canada so the custom taxes have to be paid right ???? send as a gift is like fraudulent and if the custom see's that you could get charged with fraud or something like that... because you have to sign paperwork at custom does making a binding statement....


but the law could allow those gift and i dont know much about those loopholes


and btw does ncix have business in canada??? say warehouse etc....

Are you questioning me? I've ordered MANY times from them. It's not because they are based in the USA that we have to pay customs. They have the right to sell here. If you go on www.newegg.ca you pay the canadian version of the prices + 2 taxes + a tad bit higher shipping. No customs.

And NCIX is based in BC.

nope... your a cool guy and i respect your opinion and all ... but i used common sense to deduct of what previous user said.. and local laws etc...


its simple.... each time something goes threw custom you have to declare it right... example when you pass the custom in a car and the custom officer ask you if you have anything to declare its for custom tax etc....


and when you sell something in a country all taxes devised by local or federal gov are to be paid.... thus my statement... yes ncix is in bc... so your saying your not paying custom taxes etc... ??? if so my original statement still stand.. because i was reffering to the original statement made Renard0abi

broker's fee could be seen as custom taxes...

Depend on what you buy. I didn't have too many problems when I bought my stuff. But then so far I personally did not order anything over $100, and taxes were about spot on. A bit higher, to pay for their own fee or so... Still beats NCIX's prices sometimes.

NCIXUS.com
I ordered the Prolimatech Megahalems. They had it the cheapest at $45 then add $20 shipping. $65 is still cheaper than US stores. But you know what?!! I got my heatsink today!They guy told me it would take 4 days to get to me, but it actually came overnight! I TAKE IT ALL BACK!! 13 hours after NCIXUS.com shipped it it was at my door!! I would have paid $60 plus $9 shipping anywhere else.

Yeah, I just checked on Newegg and those fees seems to have disappeared. I remember when they were just opening uo the Canada store that they charged them.

Anyways, it rarely beats NCIX prices because NCIX always have a sale going on and shipping promos. Plus even if it's like a 4-5$ cheaper at Newegg I would perfer to buy from NCIX because they are based in Canada.
