Journal Str8Dog's Journal: PCMods.Com Buyer Beware
OK, I hope I am able to help someone make the right decision here. I am a new modder. I discovered your little hobby when I saw the light and window kits on thinkgeek. I quickly ordered the stunning black case w/ window from them a week later.
When I got the package I noticed that it actually shipped from PCMods and checked out their site. I quickly made a list of the cool stuff I wanted and left it sitting on the desktop for my wife to find. 8)
Find it she did and ordered all the stuff I wanted for my birthday, which was Thanksgiving. When the order arrived she noticed right away that things were missing. No lazer cut fan grill or clear rounded IDE cable.
She contacted PCMods to find out they were out of stock on the items and had no estimate when they would get them in but they did conveniently charge her for the missing items so she would not have to pay again. So, she proceeded to wrap what had arrived and prepared to let me know the rest would be showing up later.
When I opened the present yesterday, I was pretty excited but the phat 430 watt power supply, case handle, rounded floppy cable and Liquid Neon light. But I noticed right away that the light was not what we ordered. What came in the box was this. Note the car cigarette lighter power source.
Now you prolly are saying "who cares" right? Well here is what is advertised on PCMods.com:
Each kit is made up of a fixture, bulb, Molex plug, and switch. No assembly is required.
Well as you can guess, half the light kit didn't even show and no instructions on how to get it to work with my box. It did look really cool in my car though.. 8)
So to date I am out 1 laser cut fan grill, 1 rounded IDE cable and half a light kit. All for the low low price of $205.06.
I hope that PCMods will make good on the rest of the merchandise but if you are wanting to purchase something for a Christmas present and actually get the things you order in time for the holidays, you might want to consider what happened to me over a month before Christmas and consider buying somewhere else.
