Ever heard of MicroCenter? There’s only a few but if you live nearish one, go check them out. It’s like a toy store for tech nerds.
Comment on Buyer Receives Fake Core i9-13900K With i7-13700K Guts From Amazon
KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 1 year agoI use B&H for new tech stuff now. Sometimes the Bay of E for used.

I am aware of them, but am nowhere near one unfortunately. Not much locally. The nearest thing they’ve had like that was Fry’s Electronics. Could buy anything there, but maybe not the best price. They’re gone now too.

Don’t use B & H. They have had numerous discrimination lawsuits filed against them and don’t seem to be changing their behavior. It’s just a different kind of evil than Amazon.

B&H
what’s the full name?
uid0gid0@lemmy.world 1 year ago
B&H seems to be the best bet since Newegg went down the drain. I’d always gone to then for camera gear and never had issues. I’ll be going to them for electronics from now on.

Just be aware of their return policy, it’s not quite as no-questions as Amazon usually is. But it’s serviceable.
KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 1 year ago
But it isn’t an unreasonable policy or anything I think. They’ve also price matched their own price for me after a week or two which seemed very customer oriented. No complaints and I’ve used them for a few years now.

They are like the anti Amazon in terms of shipping for religious reasons, given their observance of shabbos they don’t ship on Saturdays at all. Good to know that their warehouse staff has a weekend day off to rest.

Yeah theyve been around for a long time for media stuff specifically, will have to check it out for electronics in general.

What happened to new egg?
scottywh@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Pretty sure they got bought out by some Chinese company with terrible customer service
afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Their customer service wasn’t great in the past.
