Monoprice FTW

Well as you all know monoprice is the place to get cables, and im just here to reassure this.

Story.

Went in to my moms classroom (6th grade history) on sunday the 24th due to her projector displaing a green image, took about 3 min of testing to figure out the 25ft vga cable was bad... problem was she needed a cable on wednesday the 27th so she could use her projector for class that started on the 27th.... so im like crap, went down to staples longest thing they had was 10 ft for 42 bucks, im like ya no thnx. so i told my mom unless she wanted to spend buku bucks i would go to monoprice when we got home that day for her and order one... got a 25ft gold plated ferrite cored vga cable for 8.42 + tax ... and i selected the cheaper shipping... total came out to like 14 and change... it got shipped SUNDAY @ 4ish (probably dropped off) and was here today the 26th @ noon.... quite amazing if you ask me

Monoprice FTW!

Monoprice also has awesome customer service. They recently shipped me the wrong item. Within 24 hours of notifying them of the mistake I had a new tracking number from Lindsey stating that my item had been shipped out. They also let me keep the item they sent by mistake (too bad I have no idea what the hell it is or what it's used for, heh).

Wow those are really good prices for CAT6, I may need to get some for my new house 100 feet for 15 bucks? Ty for the site.

Yeah, monoprice is great. Their overnight shipping is only a little bit more than regular and you can throw in a bunch of items in w/o it going up.

I have nothing bad to say about Monoprice because they rock and the items they sell are high quality and cheap in price.

Only negative thing I have to say about them is more of a tip than a complaint.

Here's the exact scenario I noticed:

I wanted to upgrade all my HDMI cables to the one pictured below. You'll notice it's backordered and it gives a pretty accurate ETA. Don't bother using the 'Notify Me' button. This item sells out all the time. I signed up for the Notify Me for when it comes in stock.

Just having a look at their site for this item a day before the ETA, I noticed it was in stock, so I bought them. two days later I got an e-mail telling me they were back in stock, when I went to the site, I found it sold out again.

So check the site on your own the day before the ETA and if still out of stock, check it the next day and don't rely on the Notify Me feature.


Here's the example:

Never heard of this store before, but on looking, they seem to have terrific prices on BNC cables. We will buy from them! Thank you

MP is great, my only tip for buying from them is to order more than one item, you'll save a LOT on shipping. I usually end up waiting to bulk order or ordering stuff I stumble across.


So check the site on your own the day before the ETA and if still out of stock, check it the next day and don't rely on the Notify Me feature.


I had the same issue with Newegg, they sent the "in-stock" email two weeks after I purchased the item. I too, manually just kept checking the product page.

Prices aren't the only good thing about many of the cables Monoprice sells. That one I referenced above for less than $20 shipped are better than most any HDMI cable sold at most retail stores, especially Monster cables.

For example: Monoprices $13.27 HDMI cable (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10240&cs_id=1024004&p_id=3658&seq=1&format=2) , nearly as thick as a a snake and makes Monster's $200 HDMI look like a turd.

The people that Monster cables are marketed to are usually the same people that Bose markets too as well ~ and that would be; People with more money than sense. http://www.getsmileyface.com/sm/crazy/1261.gif

god aint that the truth... the 2 orders i have placed through monoprice have been EXCELENT products.... ordered a TOSLINK cable, it was big a thick and had gold coated tips for all of like 8 bucks... lesser thing at frys or bestbuy easily 50 bucks...same goes for the vga cable, it was VERY thick compared to any other cable i could find in store.

Wow. I never knew about that company. Awesome prices. Especially on cables(bulk and complete cables). I will definitely be ordering from them when I need more cat6 stuff.

Looks like they are a bulk supplier/wholesale dealer for the US government facilities as well. Very nice. Thanks Silversinksam.
