    Shipping companies. Buy overseas. Small things needed like cables are purchased locally. If something is URGENT and needed ASAP then it's purchased locally. Otherwise most things are purchased online.
    Knowing the solution doesn't mean knowing the method. Yet answering correctly and regurgitation are considered "learning" and "knowledge".

    As khat said shipping companies and most of my purchases are from Amazon as they are most convenient with online transactions. I have a friend who goes through a shipping company in MoBay that has reasonable set clearance fee.

    I only buy old used stuff that people already wasted thier money on and eat and left. Saves me tons of money. If I really need something new I wait until someone goes overseas and pay them to bring it in for me if its not too inconvenient. I aint going to ask anyone to bring in a TV for me. lol

    Used is the smart way. You know it works and it is cheaper. Whatever I can buy used or Open boxed I do. I only buy HDD new though. Everything else used or Opened box if I can.

    I'd rather buy something new that still has good warranty on it as if I need to RMA shouldn't have much problems through Amazon.

    Send me a private message Kirby so I can remember to get the exact address for the shipping company and send to you, but if you can check it's located beside Xerox near the roundabout on the Freezone.

    How many times have you used that "good" warranty service?
    And how much would it cost you to rma?

    And how do you even rma through amazon? LOL

    Well I'm hoping I won't have to find out, but the option is there.

    Exactly...

    I hope you get the point.

    Also amazon don't offer rma for pc parts, rma is done by the makers of the PC parts... Look up what rma means.
