gpu Kwest.com and Gpu’s...... (did I make a mistake?)

[Jmaster2242]

So I ordered a 2070 super founders edition from kwest.com. I’m not entirely sure if I made the right choice. Everything looked legitimate until I asked for the shipping details. They sent me a bunch of information of the graphics card coming from UAE (United Arab Emirates). I still haven’t received it but I’m tracking the boat and it should be shipped from Houston between the 28th of this month to the 8th of May.  Just wanting to check if some of this stuff is typical or if I’m probably gonna get ripped off or even if anyone else here as ordered any gpu from them and had good or bad results.

If you payed with paypall you should have some buyer protection.

Kwest also claims to have a refund policy. Seems solid for now.

(Have never bought from this site someone who has experiance with this can help more than I ever can)

Technically, they've just held the domain since 1996. They could have started the business last week for all that tells you. I own all sorts of domains that I've never done anything with.

I've also done some research, apparently someone bought the domain in 2020, they import security items I've never heard of, and the tldr is OP may or may not get his gpu, people claimed to have proof, but i didn't see any, not even some random gpu that could have been coming from anywhere lol.

 

 

info is from  reddit so huge grain of salt obviously~
