So I impulse bought a motherboard which I have a love hate relationship with. In the midst of the madness I failed to notice it didn't have a backplate.
It was a refurb from one of the etailers active on this site and was sold voetstoets so no harm no foul. However when I tried to then buy the backplate the retailer was unable to source it; the supplier Axiz simply refused (?) and Asus ZA said no matter how much I offered I could only get one from them if it had accidently been left out of the original box and since they need the serial number and know its a refurb i was basically SOL. More infuriatingly Asus have a large international website specifically for selling these products directly to the American public yet we get screwed down here.
Fortunately all this was happening in the same week that Esquire started selling Asus motherboards
One PM later and two weeks for shipping I am now the owner of exactly the backplate I had been craving. Not only did Esquire immediately organise what I needed but they didn't even charge in the end
What a fantastic bloody service. I know this sounds a bit like a lose-weight-now-ask-me-how pitch but its really just a thank you and a word of advice to anyone else looking for unbelievable service and a very nice price. Thanks Mahomed!
