    Worried about Sager's BBB and other sites Ratings

    I won't speak for other retailers but here is how we operate. If a client comes to us with a price lower than ours we'll ask to see the official quote. If the client says i just added to cart and it's lower we'll check it out and match it. If he had a conversation with another rep at another retailer and he TOLD him he'll get a discount then we HAVE to see an official quote.

    As much as I'd love to trust everyone, anyone can just say "oh yeah XXXXX gave me an additional 5% off this laptop".

    Thanks, hizzaah! Hey, you may click "Order Status" at Myth's site. They kinda state your progress under 'status' in real-time!

    MYTHLOGIC Pollux 1611 - FHD Matte 95% NTSC Color Gamut / Intel Core i7-2720QM / 2 x 4GB Crucial 1333MHz / NVIDIA GTX 460M / 2 X 750GB 7200 16MB's / Win 7 Pro

    Thank you very much for your support, Madkid! Don't worry, I'll send you an autograph soon... :D

    I just assumed they didn't update that lol.. If that's correct then I'm still under the "shell allocated- parts ordered" phase. Lame :p

    Not sure that they always keep it updated. Mine still says processing and they just told me I'm built and ready for testing except for the SSD and I'll be shipped out on Monday. Oh well, best answer he could've gave me! :D

    Ohhh... I'm sorry. It's me and my BIG fingers (not mouth)!!! :eek: Sort of figured it out since "status" seems to change everytime I get updates from Josh over chat. Currently mine is "Software Loading" but learned hours ago, it could ship within the day. But one thing's for sure, you guys will get yours way ahead than me. Wohooo! Mine has yet to travel almost 10,000 miles from Ann Arbor before its reaches me!!! Lol!


    Guess, I can't be first after all... :twitchy:

    You know you never know. While mine may not be traveling that far it still has to go from Ann Arbor to California and from California right back up across the border (Maybe I'll get held up there too) to Ontario. :eek:

    My shipment details:

    Mythlogic - Order History: Shipped

    Live Chat Mythlogic: Pollux 1611 - picked up by UPS

    UPS Ship Notification - Scheduled Delivery: 05-April-2011 (NY)

    From NY, 1611's got to travel nearer to where the shell actually originated (China). Plus, more $$$ for international shipping! Hope to get my hands on it, middle of this month...

    @ZahariasX: Unless you intend to further extend the agony, you could settle picking it up much later... :spinny:

    If this is a race of who is first or last to receive his/her unit, then somebody has got to get that medal. But the GOLD here I think is the service we get from our vendors! Now whether it is indeed 24K, its for us to find out soon... :)

    I should've had my mine forever ago :p I first contacted myth like the 7th of feb.. Then I screwed around with my config for a month (and there was a bit of a hold up with the $), and didnt send them my money till around the 6th of march. Then changed configs more and more up until the 25th :p could've had this thing for quite a while now if I hadn't been so indecisive!

    Well.. Taking into account that they haven't been shipping for very long maybe a few weeks, but still :p

    Oh trust me I was indecisive too. I probably annoyed Josh at Myth to death with my constant need to question him everyday. But he did answer everything and I feel assured that in the end I made the right choice for everything in my config.

    On the plus side I did only end up changing one thing and don't have to wait as long as you did from the day of order. :) But what I changed was my Moments XT to a Intel 510 and that's what's holding me up til Monday! :(

    ^^This lol.. we've exchanged a bit over 200 emails i think. he still replies in a quick, cheery, humorous manner :)

    yeah, if it was going to be any longer delay, i probably would have changed my config again just to get it out faster :p but seeing as how the weekend is involved, it probably wouldn't have made much of a difference :)

    I love Josh's attitude toward you as a customer. Very laid back but still professional. Never received so many instant replies before. It was like he was waiting there just to hear from me. :p Josh Tacey we salute you! :p

    Hoping that my Pollux 1411 (NP5160) ships today. Still says parts ordered, but when I talked to Josh yesterday he said it should ship today.

    Guys, i'm not pretty sure why your status don't co-inside with the levels you're in???

    Shipped from Mythlogic on the 1st of April :p . And has already travellled 489 miles as per tracking. That means, it only has to travel the remaining 9,000+++ miles MORE!!! :radar:

    You're definitely, a winner! Can you just be our Referee here? :D

    Haven't been this excited in a shipped item in awhile. :D Might've felt more like Christmas if all the money I got left wasn't paying my tuition for college. :p

    I'll have to remember that! Sounds like a good idea to me. ;)

    Then, suddenly... :SLEEP: :SLEEP: :SLEEP:

    (whispering) It just ocurred to me, only after 93 posts at 10 pages... That the word "SILENCE" is actually synonymous to the word "SHIPPED"!!! :D

    The countdown continues!

    @hizzaah: Clear winner! More so, if your unit arrives this Saturday! :p But why Monday? :confused:

    @ZahariasX: When would be your closest encounter with your Pollux 1611?

    I still have around 7 more days to spend waiting... But you guys have declared Christmas in April! We'll surely have a merry month. After which, a prosperous year ahead!

    There's a slim chance it'll arrive early (Friday) so I'd have it aaaall weekend :D but I feel like it'll arrive at the local warehouse place too late to be delivered since they don't deliver on weekends.

    But it's scheduled for Monday as of right now.. Darn it! Whyd SC2 have to take do long? It would have left Monday morning. Then the UPS guy didn't show up Monday afternoon for pick up.. Jerk.. So it didn't go out till Tuesday :/
    -----not mentioning the fact that Myth ran out of drives last week which is why it didn't go out last week :p prolly would've had it today.. Inventory control much? Lol..-----

    Lol before switching my order over to the 510 Myth informed me that it's an extremely popular drive and hard to find. So I can understand them running out on us. :p

    UPS however. Curse them I say! :mad:

    I was kinda hoping they'd bump up our shipping to like 2 day since they were late getting it out... BUT! I digress.. Should make a list of everything I'll need to do with it once it gets here.
