Ok, so a month or two.. or was it 3.... well any way, a very long time ago I ordered a BFG 6800 ultra from Fry's outpost... But I found one here at http://buyxtremegear.com/ Well, there site claimed it was in stock,so I cancled my order with the outpost and placed one with extream... only to recive a I'm sorry but that product is out of stock... bla bla bla email! So, I asked them when they would be in stock! I was told in 31 days! Ok, fine! So I waited... Well there site once agin claimed to have them in stock! So I emailed them agin and asked why mine was not shiped! Well, I got another were sorry we dont have them in stock, bla bla bla emails! So I asked them when there expecting them in stock, I was told in 15 days... well still didnt hapen! I then was told 15 more! Still no card! Finnaly today I went to there site and found out they also carry the eVGA version... So, I called there main office and tried to cancel my order, only to find out that they have no sales department for me to talk to! So I emailed them a copy of my order and asked them to cancel it! I told them I wished to instead order there eVGA version... Well, of to work I went! When I got home ( 10 mins ago ) I found a message on my awnsermachin... It was them calling to let me know my order shiped! Ok, fine... Thank god! So, I go and check my email and I recived this...
