Do you need a sponsored credit card to get the points? What can you redeem these points for?

Anyone get the PowerSquid? Looks like something I could use.

Points usually come from the newsletters NCIX sends out and from writing reviews and such on products on their website.You can redeem these reward points for such things as free shipping, free VIP membership and for other small items from their website.You can read all about the NCIX reward points on their website and forums.

I wonder how many $30 orders did they get?:lol:

[dscott01]

Looks like the price has been corrected.

[redmileage99]

as of 10:51pm est, price corrected as you add it to cart. Too late, they need to find my order and cancel it. It's bit of work to celebrate Chinese New Year.

[NCIXFA]

I wonder how many $30 orders did they get?:lol:

Too many :D

Sorry everyone. A *BIG* mistake on our part. We've pulled this and you'll all get refunds and cancellation notices tomorrow. I'll also make sure you get a bonus as a gesture on our part.

We usually let pricing errors go within a certain amount as "goodwill", but as everyone will probably understand, this one we won't honor! ;)

Nice try though! You never know if you don't try! :lol:

Sorry for all the inconvenience!

I didn't even bother to submit my order.I still have it in my cart for $30 but I knew it was just a waste of time submitting the order.I have been checking out the BenQ G2400W LCD and this week NCIX as a grand savings of $0.I think the staff @ NCIX are celebrating the Lunar New Year a little early and are all drunk.:lol:


EDIT...Looks like NCIX fixed the price on the BenQ G2400W now.Sale price $370 after $80 savings

I was just thinking about this... have a huge error every week to distract people from posting the normal "NCIX deals suck" postings that we see every week. :D

Happy new year everyone, for all that are celebrating!

[jakeoh]

I bought the WD hard drive last week for 30$ more. Does NCIX have some kind of price protection policy?

[Spare-Flair]

My keyboard I'm typing this on is a nice Viewsonic one from an NCIX price error (as much as I can assume) for $2 from years ago.

They let them go through for lower cost items but a $3000 projector, no way :)

[mahjongmaniac]

Damn....I didn't submit my order because I knew it wouldn't go through but if I knew there would be a bonus for cancellation I would have submitted it.Thats what I get for being nice to the NCIX staff.:lol:

if you still have it in cart, you could prbly still make that order i think... =D

not a bad idea actually :lol:

[Swissbeatz]

They only have price protection if the order hasn't shipped out.. or in some cases they may do it if its been a day or 2 since it shipped.

[Sheed30]

if you still have it in cart, you could prbly still make that order i think... =D

Yeah but I figure the NCIX staff as enough orders already to cancel and cancellation emails to send out that I won't bother.I just hope that "bonus" is not too good though.:lol:

Good idea...If you guys had the free shipping with 500 points promo more often though maybe we wouldn't complain about the sales as often.;) Those free shipping promos are a nice savings on items.

for a more recent case of price error, they honoured the Saitek II eclipse KB. props to NCIX for that.

too bad i didn't get a chance at it... :|

1 extra order compared to the wave of RFD orders ....you think your one less order would really make a diff.? :lol:

i think not :D

Yeah would be nice if they had the 500 point free shipping promo again soon to save the $40 or so on shipping charges on larger items like LCD monitors.I would buy the dead pixel coverage too so the savings on shipping would cover that cost.Anyway there are no savings at all on the Benq G2400W this week.It is included in the sale but it as a huge savings of $0.Nice savings on that sale price NCIX....:lol: It is just included in the sale at regular price so it might be a mistake and the sale price will show up later.

Both of the *NCIX exclusive Acers look interesting... each for $1100.00.
15 inch (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=28015&promoid=1088)
17 inch (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=28016&vpn=LX.ANS0X.368&manufacture=Acer&promoid=1088)


My son ended up with the Future Shop one after Christmas and it's basically the same units as these. The video card is the DDR2 one... but, frankly, it smokes and it is upgradeable. Vista Premium runs way better with SP1 installed (got it just before they pulled it but it'll be back in a month).

Keyboard takes some getting used to though.

[GateGuardian]

[sparhawk909]

[NCIXFA]

Good idea...If you guys had the free shipping with 500 points promo more often though maybe we wouldn't complain about the sales as often.;) Those free shipping promos are a nice savings on items.

I'll say this half-jokingly, but there's no such thing as a "free shipping Fairy". While we understand shipping fees are a pain, anyone that offers "free shipping" builds it in somewhere into the price you pay, guaranteed. In the US, they have the luxury of MUCH cheaper shipping rates than in Canada simply because it's a much more populous country.

We try to be pretty up front with shipping, and offer what we think is "good value" with programs like Express Shipping (you try and send something across the country for $10 or $15 overnight and see how much it costs!!!).

While we run occasional promotions around shipping, it's frankly very expensive and in the long term would affect overall pricing.

We don't claim to have the best price, or even the very best of anything, but I believe we care about our customers, and do our best to make sure they're taken care of, and that we offer stuff that even die-hard RFDers occasionally want.

Well then, as a local I've always picked up my orders, so I say no more shipping promos ;) . The easterners save on PST which should cover much of their shipping anyway. Stop being so generous with your shipping and lower your overall prices instead :lol:

I think they are dicks for even trying to exploit that price mistake, so this is a kind reply from ncix.

[sxz]

Keep things the way it is. Low shipping and mid prices are good since we can just PM with DC and still enjoy the same shipping. :) But depending on what you order it can be just cheaper directly from DC (but this way you don't get points for writing reviews on items you purchased). :D

$45 + tax for a projector. i don't think you'd find that deal anywhere else, even on clearance....

i'm sure NCIX is aware of this. they can compare stats of the # of orders for any normal wkly sale vs. # of orders for a sale that offered the free s/h promo

obviously when they do have the promo, most orders are f/ RFD :cheesygri


Even if the shipping is technically not free people love seeing free shipping being plastered on ads and most times persuades them to buy something.

i think that was FS/BB's basis for developing their "consumer market"

free s/h was pretty damn nice back then. not to mention thx to that it made stooples online PMing during the 150% PMing days so much easier/convenient compared to now....

think this is a good deal?

[Sheed30]

I think they are dicks for even trying to exploit that price mistake, so this is a kind reply from ncix.


:-0 :lol: Yeah...you guys who ordered should be ashamed of yourselves.What were you guys thinking? No one on RFD tries to exploit price errors.:lol: As NCIXFA said himself..."You never know if you don't try!" I bet the NCIX staff had a big ol laugh at this mistake.:D

[burnaby]

Do what TD does, have ridiculously low price with outrageous shipping. Oh how I miss those 9c and 99c deals. Walk out of NCIX with a bag full of merchandise for a buck.

NO MORE SHIPPING PROMOS at the expense of cheap prices.:twisted:


Well then, as a local I've always picked up my orders, so I say no more shipping promos ;) . The easterners save on PST which should cover much of their shipping anyway. Stop being so generous with your shipping and lower your overall prices instead :lol:


+1 i don't care about the shipping but more about the price. I'll say, raise the shipping cost but drop the overall price :lol:

[Sheed30]

suck up :lol:

:lol: Yeah...I wanted that bonus too for being polite and not submitting my order.:D I could have you know! :lol:

Hot Hot price for a pair of Patriot 1.8volt sticks.

I'm using them in a 4x1GB config right now. Stable at stock 1.8 voltage (which is almost on the rare side for filling up all 4 slots)

Could not resist this offer.

there's no way. the loss would be too huge :D


i only ordered one.... i knew they wouldn't honour it, so there was no point in making more orders.

i did, however, tell some of my friends/family about it... :D

I did the same thing.All I had to do was press "submit order" but knew it was a waste of time to do so and didn't bother.Nice gesture from NCIX.Much better than the 5% discount I received from FS once for their price error blunder.:evil: Too bad I missed out.

[alwaysbuylow]

Wow! NCIX is so generous! I usually submitted price error orders, but this time I didn't, I thought that it was too good to be true, didn't think of NCIX would give out $25 gift coupon. From now on I will submit every price error order.:lol:

...is it a big difference goin for a 8600gt 256mb vs a 8800gt 512mb if you want to play games? the difference is $100 right... so iwhat u guys think?


your feedback is very welcome pls

[awestruck]

Yes, it will be a huge difference. I highly recommend skipping the 8600 series in general and to get a 8800GT. You can get them now for $200 after rebate, which is a really good deal. You won't regret it.

[mahjongmaniac]

oh its on ... next pricing error I am submitting the order ... or shame>

after NCIX reads this, they prbly won't be as generous next time lol

[jcoltage]

No NCIX is still the leader in my books and yes it is good that they are offering a sub.... shame on my half for not taking advantage of it ... meh too many FS/BB pricing errors and never getting anything in return ...

I heard the 9800 line will be out soon so if you can wait a couple of weeks then I'd do that and see the price on these drop even more :cheesygri

[pureenergon]

i suppose for $200 the 8800gt is a good price. but i dont want to spend that much on a video card. heh.. thats how much i bought my compaq pc haha..

well i guess i'll wait till ONE DAY it will drop to like 100$....

i only play dota and a mmo atm so works fine.

havent even bought a game like crysis yet so i'm in no rush i guess.
just waiting for my FAVOURITE computer shop NCIX to drop that price...

:!: :!: :!:

whenever they drop the 5300 240pin 2gb ram i'd jump on that tho.

[pureenergon]

oh yah.. side note... i was wondering why is this post not changed to a STICKY?

heh, don't even get me started on that.

usually IF they offer some compensation, it's just a measily 5% off e-cert (FS) or DD (BB)... lame

the best i recall getting f/ them was $10 discount code. ... and that was yrs ago....

------


It was stickied for a while, then it was taken down....

it's usually stickied for a few days and then taken down.

i'm guessing TD's/SiG's sales are longer, hence stickied for a longer time. NCIX's sale are only 1 wk
