MWave still hasn't sent my GPU. I ordered it 2 days ago. And I paid like 20 bucks to have it express posted so I'd get it before weeks end, but it doesn't seem like that's going to be happening. Bloody rude.
Edit: when I was swapping out the ram, I did properly look at the GPU and figured out why it sounds like a helicopter. This would be why:
I thought it was just a bent blade. But nah. The wifi card absolutely fucked the blade
Edit: they just emailed me to say apparently they no longer have any stock, so they're ordering more from the supplier and expect it to arrive between Tuesday and Friday (next week!). I specifically checked stock, and they said they had it in stock at their little warehouse. Fucking grubs took so long sending out my order, they ran out of stock!
Mwave are always pretty slow. Probably the worst for it
Reddit seems to agree. Should've googled first :|
There's a reason Nvidia and AMD are the biggest sellers of GPUs, but they're also more exxy 😭
Unfortunately if they're slow with dealing with completing orders, express postage isn't going to speed it up until it's finally been sent. Can be frustrating though :(
It's coming from Sydney, and I wanted it before next week, which is why I paid for the express postage. I wasn't aware they were slow with dispatching orders until I'd already paid, unfortunately
