Assuming that's six regular days and not six business days, that's not bad considering it's coming from Canada. I live in Southern California which is great for getting things fast, but I'd rather get it from somewhere out of state and pay no tax; not too many places outside of California.
Even six business days is better than a lot of places. (Dell I'm looking at you.)
Did you even read my post? 6 days until it was in Fedex's hands! Not 6 days to get here!
Also to SirSnipe, this apparently happens every year to them; as other people have posted inquiring as to why this is going on year after year.
I just got my card in, and it SUCKS. The fan in hardwired (no control wire) to 100%. This thing is a leafblower. Way too loud. Since it's hardwired, obviously no Bios upgrade is going to work. This was not a problem with the Zalman fan because it was more or less silent.
NCIX is talking about sending everyone a discounted cooler for this card since this noise is unacceptable. They'll be updating the 11th.
I say just get the EVGA deal that's on the front page if you want to put up with them putzing around for 6 days before getting the order to Fedex; if not simply look elsewhere. The $20 I've saved on getting this from NCIX has totally not been worth the effort. Never ordering from again.
