CompUSA.COM: We do not suck nearly as bad as Dell (as far as YOU know)
Friday:
Me: New Desktop day. I think I will buy a Gateway.
upromise.com: Have 3% of your purchase credited to your student loans on us.
Money Market Credit card: Have a 1.5% kick back of your purchase price.
Then, things get all screwed up.
Saturday
compusa: Your order is screwy. We are sitting on it until you call us.
Me: Sorry I can’t come to the email right now. I am off to Mexico.
Later Saturday
compusa: Your order is screwy. We are sitting on it until you call us.
Me: Sorry I can’t come to the email right now. I am in Mexico.
Tuesday
Me: How’s my order.
compusa: Your order is screwy. We are sitting on it until you answer some really weird questions to verify your authorized use of the card. Now we will ship.
Wednesday
Money Market Credit card: cha-ching
compusa: Thanks for the payment.
Me: Yay, my order has left Chicago.
Thursday
Me: Yay, my order has left Chicago. ETA Monday? Shit!
compusa: You’re paid in full.
Money Market Credit card: the charge for your compusa order does not exist. Enjoy your inflated balance while it lasts.
Me: WTF? Don’t tell me these assholes are going to try to store credit card me for this. Or wait until I spend the money dedicated to this purchase on something else, so I can take another NSF charge up the ass.
DEVELOPING…
FRIDAY
compusa: You’re paid in full.
Money Market Credit card: yeah, you sure are. P.S. You have no more money until Dell stops fucking up your order.

So, did you get your order today?
How’s the desktop?
I did get it today. Works Great so far. (I am using it right now.)
I will probably buy 2 x 2048 memory as soon as the warranty runs out on this. Thanks for asking.
Compusa.com: 1000% less completely worthless as dell.com. And better prices.
