I'm about to purchase a number of products from TC Computers. Anyone had any experience with them? Good, bad, indifferent?

I've order twice from them. Both times were pleasant, but nothing special either.

I ordered from them before. one of their offices used to be ~15 miles from my house but lots of the parts came from their other warehouses. i haven't had any problems with them, oh they did forget to send me my anti-static wrist strap.

Flogging isn't the punishment of choice due to the room needed for so many people here. Most prefer flaming from a distance. After all we don't want stray casualties

I have orderd many things from Tccomputers and have nothing but good things to say. I sometimnes question their packaging, but the customer service is very good.

For example...
I ordered a BP6 last year with both cpus, but it only shipped with one. They overnighted the second cpu free of charge and gave me a discount on the whole setup.

Three months later, I was having problems with the BP6 and tehy took it back and gave me credit in the full amount. Very Nice.

Hm my experiences are mostly negative. Their phone support / sales is particularly bad at times. A friend of mine ordered a case, and then a motherboard, cpu, and memory combination. The case arrived within a week, but the other three items didn't arrive. He called up and they said there was a problem with the credit card... why didn't they call him and report the problem? He finally got the mb+cpu+memory after several phone calls (at the time their phone system was so screwed up that he was on hold for 1 hour and then got transferred to a non-working voicemail box). The memory was bad and ended up screwing up his registry. This wouldn't be all that bad were it not for the fact that they claimed several times on the phone that they test the parts thoroughly before shipping. Yet when we enabled the full memory test on POST, it failed. He called them back and they didn't even offer any apologies or compensation for all the troubles he had gone through.

Another friend (my roommate) ordered from them recently. His stuff was late so he called up and they said that due to an error his order got screwed up but they were shipping it soon. He checked it again later and they were no longer getting the CPU he had ordered (and had sold out of the current stock). They "offered" to let him pay more for a more expensive CPU. Finally they agreed to upgrade his processor for no charge. He then ordered a case from them, which arrived with no manual (although the case is supposed to come with one -- I know because I ordered the same one from onvia and it came with one). He called them three times to get the manual and never did get one. Finally he talked to the manufacturer (Antec) and they sent him the manual.

Those are the two "major" experiences I know of. Other friends have ordered and had minor trouble with their phone support (they seem to only be around about 2 hours in the day, although their sales people are around for extended periods). I myself ordered a stick of RAM and didn't have any troubles.

I've ordered from them. No problems here.

TASunder -- I thought you said that you've had bad experiences with them. Sounds like all second hand negative info to me.

tc computers used to be an anandtech sponsor. I've looked at their prices and it's really expensive... relatively speaking.

They used to be great. I did a couple of orders with them. One was defective and they sent a replacement with UPS to pick up the bad one right away. That was 2 years ago. I read at resellers.com that they have a lot of negative experiances of late. Turns out they were bought out by someone else and service/prices/product are going downhill. I deal with onvia, buy, multiwave, and Staples (hot deals) now.

ghouldini,

I'm with ya man. Nothin' beats Onvia's free shipping and occasional coupons, Buy.com's coupons/great pricing, and price matching/coupons at Staples.

Have ordered from them in the past, no real problems except for the occasional hardware w/o anti static covering... none of the items have been effected though... maybe i'm just lucky...

I ordered from them a couple of times about two years ago when they had specials going on. Normally it seems like their prices are pretty high. I had to contact their support division for one of my orders and I was given a little bit of a runaround, but they eventually straightened everything out and were nice about it.
