We’re sorry this experience has been frustrating, and we want to clarify a few important points.
Our Rush Build service accelerates the production queue, meaning the system is prioritized and built faster than standard orders. It does not override real-world factors such as part availability, holiday volume, carrier delays, or weather impacts — especially during the December peak season, which is the busiest time of year for custom PC builders.
This was a custom-built PC, not a prebuilt or off-the-shelf item. Custom systems require assembly, testing, and quality control before shipping. When we provide build-status updates, they reflect the real stage of production — not placeholders. Tracking information is only generated once a system has fully completed testing and is handed to the carrier.
We are absolutely not a scam, and we’ve been building and supporting high-performance PCs for years with thousands of satisfied customers. That said, we understand the disappointment of a gift arriving later than hoped, and our team has been communicating status updates as they become available.
If your boyfriend would like a direct update or needs further assistance, we encourage him to contact our support team with the order number so we can review the timeline and ensure everything is moving forward as quickly as possible.
