MWave rant part 4040209294930182748919183
MWave just sent me an email to say that my order has been delayed and they don't know when they're going to send it out. But in any case, we've passed the next day cutoff now, so I won't be getting it this week.I found another 12gb rtx 3060 (same graphics card but different brand) for 15 bucks cheaper at centrecom. I really want to go get a refund and just go pick up the other one myself from centrecom which is only a short drive away. I'd end up saving even more, because I wouldn't need to pay for transit insurance or delivery fees. But I get the vibe MWave are the type to hold onto every cent for as long as possible, so I imagine I probably wouldn't receive it for a month. I'm getting annoyed, because I'm sure that when I ordered it, it said it was in stock in their warehouse, and then after I ordered it they changed it to say it was in stock at their supplier. And evidently paying for express post from MWave doesn't make them pay for express post from their supplier.
Maybe I need to learn some patience, but they just haven't been very transparent in the whole process, and they charged me every type of fee they possibly could. Bank surcharge, card surcharge, shipping, postal insurance. I spent what's (for me) a lot of money. I'm actually pretty sure it's the most money I've personally spent in a single transaction ever. It's actually getting to the point where there's a little seed of doubt sown in my mind, and I'm wondering if they ever will post it, or if maybe I've gone and bought my graphics card from a fake MWave.
E: I realise I've been complaining about MWave a lot. I'll stop. Unless something's wrong with my order when it arrives again, I won't complain about them anymore. Also moved this one into a spoiler
