I ordered from TD once, never again. Slow as fuck shipping (only Memory Express was slower) and their returns department kept fucking me over.

Not surprised, interesting enough it also seems to happen multiple times a year for TD. Fire the marketing folks from TD, clearly they have no one that reads their own sales before it's available.

I guess I should not have even tried huh? Should've just said that offer is too good, they aren't going to honor that.
But then again, there are some companies like Razer who recently posted a 90% sale on their UK website by error. They honored a limit of 1 item of each product ordered.

Nothing wrong with trying. Just don't make a big deal about it if they cancel your order. They are well within their rights to do so and I'm sure there's fine print on the website that fully allows them to do so without any obligations.

Exactly. Try if you want to have a chance at ripping off a merchant, but if they don't allow it to happen, don't complain.

There's no point in getting upset about their price error. It written on their website somewhere that if it happens they have the right not to honour it.

I've dealt with TD before regarding a LCD monitor, ONE stuck pixel in the middle of the screen. They paid for shipping return and the refund. I would shop from them again. If you're going to buy something do your homework.

I've been eyeing that 4k LCD tv for about $1500. Hoping to hook it up to the computer but I'm not sure if it supports those resolutions from a computer.

Apologies, I guess my post came out wrong by including that icon. I was just posting it to report what happened with that sale that akira112 posted.
While it would`ve been cool to get the sale, I just chuckled when I got the email. It wasn`t a big deal to me, I already knew before buying that companies are within their rights to refuse a sale.

I don't get what the point of lining up at 9am the day before other than wasting a whole entire day. Especially when you're not even going to buy anything.

Akinari if you don't mind me coming and joining you at night time that would be great. I got a bunch of deals last itme and hoping to get some deals this time even though I don't need anything LOL.



Btw last warehouse sale I picked up a Deathadder Blue (left handed) for $20. If anyone is interested or have friends that are leftys you're welcome to MSG me. I picked it up thinking right handed people can use it too and it was $20 so why not, but I was wrong . Idk if I'm firm about price but $20 for a Deathadder isn't bad and I just opened it and put my palm on it while it was in the box to find out I can't use it since I'm right handed


Edit: if I can join in on the line up for warehouse sale I got 2 camping chairs and a 6 man tent. Willing to get food and drinks too

Haswell graphics announced, "Iris Graphics". You will hear "3x the performance of Ivy Bridge" bandied about, but that only applies to the unsocketed version of Haswell.

The Haswell we'd buy is about 1.75x the performance, which puts it right around the AMD A10 5800K

Intel Introduces "Iris Graphics" IGP, Aims for Trinity Performance
