So, can anyone share any buying experiences with NCIX? Am considering getting the Ducky Shine 4 69 Fire Edition through NCIX and was wondering what people's experiences were with NCIX. So, can anyone chime in?

 

Yes, this is my first time using the site for any purchases.

If the price is right, buy it. 

 

I've had two experiences with NCIX, one was smooth with no issues and the other, well they were just being stupid. 

NCIX.CA is much better than NCIX.US (i've dealt with US).

The idea will be that I'll order through the Canada store, pay through my Paypal (I'm Filipino and in the Philippines), and have it shipped to my cousin who lives in California. Price of the desired item is good, I just want to clear the air of any uncertainty before I take the plunge.

You'd have to order it from NCIX US to ship it to someone in the US.

Had three orders from the Canada site, all went great.

 

As for employees the downtown Vancouver shop has great service and they are friendly and helpful there.

 

My dad has been buying from them for well over 6 years now so yeah online order or pick up in store its good in Vancouver or the Canadian site.

Well. This could be problematic. Does the Paypal account have to be tied to an American or an American address?

I have heard good things about NCIX (Canada) but my personal experience with NCIXUS is horrible, and I cannot recommend NCIXUS at all, especially for their lack of ownership for situations and their customer service. Feel free to PM me if you really want to know my experience.

Maybe? 

 

I know that for a credit card you MUST have the shipping address on record with the credit card company.

im not sure but I do know the payment address and shipping address can be different

 

But do they both have to be American? That could nix this plan altogether.

I probably won't use a credit card, but I would like to use my Paypal account, which is tied to my debit card. I'll see what I can do from there.

none, with newegg premier there is literally no logical reason to buy anything from any other store.

 

they have the best prices, ship the next day (the warehouse is in NJ i'm in NYC), and shipping's free.

 

i know newegg might not be as good in other countries, but here in new york -- best prices, best shipping, best service.

 

I look at buying from NCIX as more of a donation, you are only going there because you want to support Linus (consciously or subconsciously) -- there is no logical reason to go there. (takes a week to get the item to ship, clumsy staff [charge 3000$ lol])

 

just my 42 cents

 

STILL LOVE YOU GUYS

NCIX Canada is always great for me. Both online and in-store.

You can email or call any of their staff to ask about your unique situation.

Each employee at NCIX Canada seems to have a lot of authority to help customers, so you can ask if they can make special arrangements for you.
