Shipping
Came in on time works like a charm and has been serving me faithfully for a good time now.
They sent every wire i needed plus additional wires i did not require (due to my pc specs).

The manufacturer box was sealed with clear tape that looked suspiciously like it had been opened and resealed by a previous purchaser.

Competitiveness
Misc:first i ordered 850w of same brand as the 550w i was replacing that had worked well for 10+ yrs.
