Dudenell Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I'll be talking with newegg on monday. I have a felling I can talk them down since I've spent thousands with them in the past.(but who hasn't lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudenell Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Decided to email newegg instead of calling(would have done that monday) and they offered me 20$ off the case. I will explain what I did later as I'm on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticks435 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 got mine from microcenter.. they gave me a 10 dollar discount.. How did you manage to get that discount? I'm swapping my unopened bad case for the new model number and what like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudenell Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 here is what I wrote: Hello, I recently decided to purchase a corsair 650D case, I decided to go with amazon over newegg as the case is 20$ cheaper and they do not charge for shipping. I love newegg and have spent thousands of dollars with you guys and will continue to do so in the future (just ordered a monitor / ram for a computer I'm putting together) but I was hoping you could possibly make an exception and price match the case with amazon if possible. Thank you for your time and consideration, Dudenell good luck to anyone else trying to price match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balearic Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Got mine from directron $169.99. http://search.directron.com/newsearch.php?find=corsair+650d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craized Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Amazon jacked their price up to $199.99, so if anyone tries to get Newegg to price match now it won't work. Maybe they'll match Directron, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101pctech Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Amazon has the worse customer service ever. There support team are like from india or something and they just go off what the date tells them. I cancel my case there and went to newegg I seriously would rather pay more on newegg and get the good service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101pctech Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 just got the case in today from newegg, its the most beautiful thing ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancakguy Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 @ anyone who has 650D-1: any comments on the fan controller? trying to figure out if I should but an after-market controller while i am waiting on amazon to get their act together. Price on amazon down to 140$ for me after a few 5$ credits have been rung in. Still hasn't shipped after 6 weeks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eluder79 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 The linear fan controller works great, the only reason I'd say you want an aftermarket is if you want to controller each fan separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberMarine Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I'm railing on Amazon for several reasons: 1.) I ordered a Corsair Obsidian 650D on April 18th, 2.) It still hasn't shipped, 3.) The original shipping window was May 5th - 25th, 3.) The product webpage says they're in stock, :brick: 4.) In that timespan, I've only pestered them once about it, 5.) I just received an "approval" request to postpone the estimate. You think they're trying to screw me or hoping I'll cancel the order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxking Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 you bring them a printed paper of the case you want and what you want to price match and they price match.. 101pctech how did you get newegg to price match? to me they said "we do not price match" and smart i did that i cancelled my order from amazon.. you should cancel your order man..

101pctech Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 XXKing the key word sentence is you tell them I have a bunch of friends and that got a 20 dollar discount on the case and they cant really say no because their are people who have done it already. If that goes well go ahead and send the link of the case from Amazon and they will give you instructions beyond that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superxero044 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Does anyone on these forums have an answer for amazon not shipping at this point? I have not been waiting as long as some but find it unbelievable that so many other retailers have the 650DW1 in stock but not Amazon. Any answers would be appreciated.

101pctech Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 u should try to price match with newegg, just say what i posted on my last one with xxking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudenell Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 for those of you that waited: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139006 use code EMCKEGJ42 for 20$ off then 20$ MRI brings it down to 159.99 and free shipping. code expires 6/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craized Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Excellent find Dudenell, I will finally be cancelling my Amazon order. Thanks a lot for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superxero044 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yeah that was definitely a pleasant surprise this morning. I canceled my Amazon order before I went into work. I will definitely think twice before I order computer parts from Amazon in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancakguy Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Nice find, I can take a 6$ hit for speedy delivery from a much better company. Amazon customer support is worthless. At least I get to keep the coupons they gave me for having to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see some of you deal with a company that actually has poor customer service!

Amazon has the best customer service of ANY online store IMO., I have purchased a ton from amazon, but almost always never have to deal with their customer service... and when I do it has been horrendous, taking months to get replacement products or parts. It's not customer service to just throw money at people and hope they go away without answering their questions or solving their issues. Maybe you've had a completely different experience with them, which might be my bad luck or your good luck. As for best online store customer service... I guess corsair isn't technically a store yet, but have you not dealt with Newegg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They recently honored a price mistake and sold me a maximus IV extreme for $204 when you could hardly find the board in stock anywhere... plus i got a $20 credit for another purchase. Newegg isnt bad, but amazon's return policy for defective items beats newegg hands down! Amazon pays return shipping and newegg doesnt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
