Could you folks recommend some reputable online shops, preferably ones that you have dealt with.

Also, post the crap ones too.

Thinkgeek is a nice one, but its more a novelty shop.

I really recomend http://www.mwave.com and http://www.newegg.com


Multiwave because they hace awesome tech support, and newegg because they are fast
i ordered a lian-li case last friday and got it on monday morning - that is, to Puerto Rico, wich usually takes longer.

Mwave.com is good to go.  I also like accessmicro.com.

I've ordered from compuplus.com before.  shipping is expensive though, $14.95 for two day is the cheapest alternative there.  :(

As a UPS employee...let me tell you a little secret....know thy shipping zones.  I have one for my area here in Maine.  Various colored zones show how fast & far Ground will get places.  Sometimes 2nd Day is only a few bucks extra, while in others, Red is the way to go.  Anything from West of the Mississippi, I do 3-day select.  Few bucks extra, but I get my toys so I can play with them on the weekend  :D

I'm looking now, but check UPS.Com for shipping zones for your own area.  If I find the URL, I'll post it.

Alternatively, ask your local driver.

F,

Shit happens, so if it's your turn, it sucks.  I believe it is luck when you buy something and never have a problem.
