I tried ordering a mini-m recently. Their website said it was in stock and would ship in 3 days, maximum. I tried using a credit card that had a different address for shipping and billing. It wouldn't go through. I contacted support and they claimed to be unable to process a transaction with differing addresses. I used a different payment method, and it worked. I waited 8 days for a shipped notification before contacting them. They replied that it won't ship for at least another 2 months. They said they had no stock. I asked why it says they do on their website, and they just redirected the conversation and never once apologized. They never updated their website to reflect the truth about their stock. They also never fixed the problem with the website allowing orders with differing addresses. I ended up having to wait about a week for the multiple orders to drop off my credit card. I really needed a new keyboard quickly as my current one was starting to defect and unicomp really wasted my time.
