Directron - Good or bad...

I found Directron.com and they seem to have some really good prices. I'd like to order some parts from them possibly. Are they good? Has anyone had experiences with them?

Seems pretty good to me, I bought a power supply for $40 cheaper than Newegg yesterday, and it shipping out yesterday. I'll have it by next Monday, but it seems like fast shipping and good prices to me.

Alot of times they do have better deals on the more accesorized/add on items. I also notice they have great powersupply selection and price.

Directron is located right where I live. So instead of paying shipping most of the time, if directron has it for the same price of newegg, I can just go drive there and pick it up whenever I want.

They have awesome service..sometimes its not as easy as returning items to newegg...lets just say, you gotta know how to talk .

Otherwise great people there, the service department is full of educated employees willing to help.

I've had them bookmarked for a long time on my computer. I've never bought anything from them though, because Newegg usually seems cheaper on most items. That's not to say that Directron doesn't have a good sale every now and then though either. I go to them more for reference than anything else, because they do have alot of good info on their site along with their products.

They are very reputable. They are on my short list of online vendors I trust.

Newegg
Zipzoomfly
Mwave
Directron
Provantage
Geeks (with reservations - know what you are buying, they sell a lot of used, refurb, and offbrand stuff and sock you hard for shipping)
