Review for user amddude from SPARTAN VI

  • Purchased a FoxConn 7900GS from Calvin.

    SPARTAN VI was the Seller on July 24, 2008 AnandTech

    Payment cleared 7/8/08, shipment was said to go out 7/9/08. Followed up with Calvin on 7/20/08 after no communication or package. Went another 3 days without a response then opened a PayPal claim on 7/23/08. He responded to the claim with a 2-day FedEx tracking number. FedEx made an attempt to deliver of Thursday 7/24/08, and dropped it off Friday 7/25/08.

    Packaging was mediocre. The card slipped out of its anti-static bag and was in an under-padded box. Box was sturdy however. Upon installation, I immediately found that the metal bracket was twisted back, probably when it was being taken out of his system as this has happened to me before.

    Overall successful transaction, but hindered by little communication, slow shipment, and surprises.
