> Does anyone have any experience with this dealer?
I guess you could say that I have - not only have I placed a couple orders there, but I also liked it so much I bought the company! <g>
Oh sorry, that was Remington. I am, however, one of the otherwise anonymous faces behind theboyz.biz. I saw candlepowerforums in our referrer logs, and we do try and follow up on forum posts which mention us, where it's not entirely inappropriate.
We talk a lot on our site about how our primary goal is customer satisfaction, which is not unusual. What can be unusual is that we also practice that philosophy - it is one of our core corporate values. As a cynical skeptic myself, I recognize that's easy to say.
We do know our shipping costs are high, by the way, and we are working to reduce them. Because our prices are (often) so low, we can't subsidize the shipping to the extent that stores with higher markups can. Hopefully over the next few months we'll be able to address AND keep our low prices.
My apologies to those who consider this a blantant plug; it is partially that. To be fair, though, it's also an answer to the original question; I *have* placed several orders with us. Most recently I upgraded a dead PC (new m/b, CPU, 512M SDRAM and power supply for just over $200). On the other hand, I can usually drive to the warehouse and save a lot on shipping. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
