I've sent Shawn Stewart (co-founder of Arena Computers) to collections. Even though that'll cost me, I've no alternative. I've waited a year(!) for him to produce my dream system, but stupidly waited because he had a constant stream of excuses: divorce, head injury (no kidding), the war in Iraq recalling his staff to duty (I'm not making this up), etc. He's obviously had some real problems, but that doesn't make up for broken promises and stolen pre-payments. Like the previous post said, watch out for reincarnations under another web site - that's what most lying scumbags do to avoid their deserved reputations. read full review »

I PURCHASED TWO OKIDATA 420 PRINTERS, WHICH I WAS TOLD WERE "IN STOCK" AND WOULD SHIP IN 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS. IT ACTUALLY TOOK 31 DAYS FOR THEM TO SHIP. ALSO ONE OF THEM WAS DOA. SINCE APR DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBERS, I'VE HAD A TERRIBLE TIME TRYING TO RETURN THE PRINTER. read full review »

Last year I subscribed to their download (utility software) service, $20. It never worked, and I emailed them several times trying to get a refund. Instead, I got form letter promises, no action. I gave up after I learned they were in BK. But, just this month, I got a notice I'd subscribed again, for this year, without doing so. Naturally I emailed them, twice, to cancel, but no answer. Now I have to track my credit card bills to find the billing, and cancel it that way. What a ripoff! read full review »

After purchasing my 52' LCD Sharp television in June 2008, I was excited to have view favorite shows and movies. This all came to an end on December 20th 2008 when the T.V. began to display colorful lines in the left hand corner. Sighs could be heard, but I wasn't worried because the T.V. is still under a one-year manufacture warranty. Contacted Sharp immediately and was told to email pictures. Did so right away. Received a reply that a representative would contact me within 2 business days. Didn't hear from them, so I... read full review »

I purchased three Panasonic KX-TGA510M handsets recently. When I received the order, one handset was missing the battery cover. I called immediately and the woman told me to call Panasonic directly and get it from them and if they would not give it to me then to call them back again (BUT she told me to call on Mon because they were closing). I thought this was a little odd but did so. Panasonic told me that I had to go through Apple Electronics to get the part. I called on the next Mon. and was told they would send one out. Have not received... read full review »

This is the worst place to get your computer fixed. I took my computer in to have my motherboard replaced only to get it home and the computer would not work. I took it back and the owner diagnosed it as having a totally different problem; a bad hard drive is what he said this time (I was charged $95 for this diagnosis even though he promised he would NOT charge me since I had to bring it back) Well I then, being the fool that I am, allowed him to replace my hard drive which cost me an extra $200.00. I had to take it back two more times after... read full review »

I only read the poor ratings some were giving this company after I made my purchase with this company. I do admit, their practices are a little odd, in that the overall company is X Technologies and they sell via multiple company names on the web. However, I was very pleased with my purchase. I recieved my computer within 5 days of my purchase, it was well packaged, and all components were there. I contacted their customer service multiple times to keep tabs on my order, after having read the poor reviews, and they all seemed pleasant and... read full review »

I purchased an Asus eeePC from which had an intermittent Bios problem which was on the first day. After calling them they sent me email telling me they would replace the unit _ GOOD LUCK - After driving for 1.5 hours to the store the, the service fellow said that because the unit was intermittent they would have to keep it and check it and then send it to ASUS for repairs if need. Nothing was offered as far as a replacement unit. Several emails have only achieved an apology but nothing on a replacement. I finally sent the whole unit back... read full review »

i just bought Sony Xperia for less than 1 month, but the casing is easily to get scratches especially the back cover and the top layer of navigation starts to peel off, this is not what i expected before, I spent more than $1000 to buy this phone, but my nokia 6300 has better quality material than its material, even the price is 5 times cheaper than xperia. I fully regret the expensive mobile phone made from low quality materials. read full review »

I ordered a OCD-33333 full ATX case, customised with 2 x 80mm @ 50cfm side blowhole fans.

I responded to a Craigslist.com ad by Debra Mahler for a Palm V and all accessoreis-in box - $45 (PostingID: 973407604) date 2008-12-29. I emailed Debra Mahler at [email protected] about the Palm V. I asked if she would accept a personal check, wait til personal check cleared my bank, then, mail me the Palm V. I received the Palm V, missing "all" accessories as per ad, more specically, the connection cables. The Palm V is totally non-operative or functional without cables. I emailed her and informed me that I could purchase the cable by looking for it on a website. I would like a full refund including $5 for shipping. read full review »

A very high-pressure pitch on the phone followed my purchase online. I was convinced I needed a multitude of items that either did not did not come with the camera or items I needed to make it work, which were all lies, including a "special high-speed" memory card for which I paid $100 and later discovered I could buy for $12. All told, I paid over $800 for my $209 camera, warrantry and accessories that should have cost no more than an additional $200! read full review »

The first time I did business through American PC, everything went well, and I was very pleased. Late on, I was planning on building some computers for friends, so I ordered the parts again through these guys. The order was easily filled out, and the parts arrived on time. I discovered that one of the video cards and one of the hard drives were dead. Since I needed to have these parts working ASAP, my friend decided to get the video card and hard drive at a retail store. I called American PC to return the defective parts. There wasn't any... read full review »

Amcom is a poor example of online shopping. I ordered a motherboard and CPU from them. After 1 1/2 months of listening to excuses for not shipping my order I canceled the order. To this day they have not refunded my money; one excuse was they changed the company that handles their finances, and would mail me a check. Since then they have contunued to lie about sending the check. I have refered this matter to my bank as well as the Hayward City Attorney. Hopefully something can be done to rid the Internet of such unscrupulous vendors. DO NOT BUY FROM AMCOM COMPUTER! read full review »

Here's a followup to my post I made on 6 Sep. On 7 Sep, Alphanex agreed via email to credit my account $56, but did not do so. I contacted my credit card company to resolve this. They said I had to wait 30 days from the date that Alphanex said they would credit the account before they could take action. So, I waited with no credit for $56 hitting my account. Again, I called my credit card company. They sent me the appropriate paperwork which I filled out and returned with receipts and copies of emails and phone bills. More waiting.

This company out of ohio doesnt pay its employees on time. They went from paying on time on a near flawless basis to paying the following week on a wed, now lucky to see money by fridays. They do it to the employees and to us managers as well. We have mortgages, car payments, and bills yet they do not pay us on time. You BET they are getting their money and paying their payments... They demand we work, get stuff done on time, then they crap on the moral of their people. How can you not pay your employees on Friday like every other company -... read full review »
