I went to their site. Ordered the block. aprox $45 for the block... not to pricy...
Then check into shipping... $30 flat rate ... for the little box that I got I paid $30US.
I have received boxes 4 times larger from other US based websites and have paid less in shipping. Ok now up to $75 US. Then when the block arrived I had to pay an added $40 CDN for customs (brokerage fees and stuff) so the block cost me aprox $143CDN for a video block.
Well I paid more for the block then I did for the video card.
Polorflow has no control with what customs charges. However, their flat rate international shipping for $30 is terrible. I will not buy from Polarflow again. Not until something is done about shipping methods.

But how did it perform??? What setup are you running? Just wondering.

If I were to test it, I could probably guarantee that I'd get better temperatures. I use a Maze 4 at the moment (learned SO much since then...). Also, my temperature reading, and my setup, is very inaccurate like the majority of reviewers'. If you want to prove that your block can outperform most blocks on the market, send one to pHaestus. He uses an actual system, and he tests well. It IS true that your block is high quality, probably the highest quality of any block, but it seems to be designed poorly.

Sounds like you're backtracking now.....lol jk man. Go for it, you're not gonna get an offer like that very often.
