Hi I plan on buying a 800D from there, are they safe?

[Fulgrim]

I wouldn't trust them personally.

Just build your own.

[NannerBeans]

I haven't bought anything from them personally but it's a legit site. If that's the cheapest place you can find em then go for it but usually there are better places to get parts. 

[Savant]

It's the only place I can find a 800D, can you find one anywhere else?

I have bought things from them before and had no trouble at all with them. Even had to return some things I didn't use and they didn't give me any trouble.

Performance PCs is a perfectly ok source for water cooling components. I don't know about cases though...

They won't give your credit card to shady Russians. But they may not give you the best customer service.

 

Otherwise, I think the 800D is discontinued. You may find some old stock somewhere else, but Performance-PCs is your best bet.

 

I know that Ronsanut, SingularityComputers and I think JayzTwoCents uses them without complaints. But then they're decent sized Youtube channels and it would be bad for business to screw them.

[Lays]

Never had one issue with performance PC's, the customer service I've experienced from them has always been top notch.

Would you personally buy from them? My mom said it wasn't a good idea.

What about cases?

What about cases?

 

 

Never bought a case from them, but I've ordered like ~1500$ worth of things over the last year and a half from them. Always had a good experience.

 

I actually asked them to test-fit a block with a different backplate, they did everything I asked + took pictures of everything for me. Really nice guys.

If I lived in the US, yes. But fuck Canadian Customs (And UPS).

[TheProfosist]

performance-pcs is alright they are mostly reliable you should be fine ordering from them.

Over a month ago I needed a few cables for some PC work I was doing, and ordered them from Performance PC's, as I've heard good things about them in the past. 

I placed my order, but when the parts still haven't arrived last week, I inquired for some help by email. I was thinking possibly they forgot to ship it out, or there was some fulfillment issue they were having - as I've had issues with companies who mark things as 'shipped' even if they are out of stock (Cough cough NCIX).

Since I didn't hear back in over a week, I started to get concerned that they might have overlooked my order, or simply have forgotten about my order. I opened a paypal dispute (not a claim) to see if I could get any help.

Today, they replied with this.

"

OK and you are a stupid customer. You chose the "cheap" first class mail option with "no tracking" which you agreed to at checkout and now you post this dispute with paypal! You will never order here again and your info will be forwarded to all the other US resellers for not accepting your responsibility for your shipping decision! ! All the more reason we hate to deal with Canadian people and their lousy postal service!

"

Now, let me remind you that I was simply asking when this was sent, and if they had any further info. Needless to say, this has been escalated to a claim . Would you say this type of behavior is acceptable after I gave them the benefit of the doubt, and gave them two opportunities to resolve the issue?

I've heard mixed stuff.

You think I should be ok?

@ericlee30 uses them all of the time. A friend ordered two really old thermaltake cases from them with no issue. Its up to you and remember yo udo always have payapl or even your credit card if they do refuse to help you which i find unlikely but you never know.

Oh yeah. I'm sorry but can you make a TL; DR of what Paypal would do?

[Lays]

I find it hard to believe that the customer you quoted from actually was responded to that way, especially if it's only text that he's quoting.  If he had pictures of their messages thats one thing, but anyone can copy paste and edit things in / re word things.

 

Also, every company that has ever sold anything ever has dissatisfied customers, the important thing is that there are MORE satisfied than dissatisfied.

They investigate the problem and side with whoever is the victim 90% of the time. (Refunds, fixing the problem etc)

 

 

Also at checkout remember to use the promo code OCN55, for %5 off.

I guess they stepped up their game. The bad reviews are from 2008-2011.

I'll re-iterate what I said before, EVERY company has bad reviews if you look hard enough.

 

 

It'll be fine buddy

I think it might be best to avoid them if that was the last interaction you had with them. There are better cases available, that haven't been discontinued.

 

Also, for you and any other Canadians who read this, DazMode has very nice selection of cables and liquid cooling parts. And they're located in Ontario, so no customs fees.
