Wow this is the end of the line. They are the biggest bunch of moronic pigs I have ever met.

Charlie,

Let's get something straight. I am in charge of what gets sent to who and when, not you. As reasonable as I am, you will not dictate your terms so please remain calm and professional and let me help you.

I have now conducted a full investigation and found out that your system did not get any of it's components replaced, all we did was test it for at least two weeks and found no problems. So if the system worked properly, what is there to compensate for?

Since I was wrong about your situation, I regret to tell you that I will not authorize you the video card upgrade, but will approve hard drive "advance-replacement" as well as send you some games and refund $10.50 for shipping.

Sorry for any confusion and I hope you realize that we are doing everything that is reasonable and fair.

Regards,
***** *******
Sales Manager, CEO

4 months of ownership (from date of order, more like 3 from date of receipt) and after being shipped to me, we started with a broken HSF due to mishandling/ bad packing of the PC. So I had to part with it for one week. Comes back, and between getting it back from them and sending it in, I was getting OS errors out the kazoo. Half way through this time they suggest I buy XP to fix these issues. Whoopee, $100 out of pocket. Well, rolls around that blue screens plague my life. We finally get it working again and then "disk read errors" start occurring upon startup, this is when they take it in for the month. I get it back, same "disk read errors" pop up upon bootup.

Your harddrive manufacturer should come with a one year warranty. Call them up and get a replacement and forget about ava... Sell it, build yourself one.

That's a very unprofessional letter. Regardless of the issue, no one should ever talk to the person they are serving (the customer) that way.

Has this company heard of DFT?

The first mistake they made would be by addressing me by my first name...You don't know me, I'm Mr. Customer to you & we will take this as far as it needs to go to get my issues resolved. At this point that apparently means getting my CC company involved in a dispute, as well as BBB notifications for your abhorrent customer support.

... Let me have 10 minutes on the phone with them, it Will be the longest 10 minutes they ever lived through.

I'm just gonna weasel the HD out of their hands as fast as possible and then from there a BBB report will go in and I will find any way possible to get my money back where it belongs. I don't even know where they get off responding to a customer in that way

If you get the HDD out of them that will indicate you are willing to take their solution & you have accepted their offer. Personally I would go out, buy an el-chepo drive & call your CC company & BBB... If it's ths bad at the beginning it's only going to get worse. They are treating you as a kid, not a customer.

The ridiculous part is that I've been using my mom's name the whole time, so they've essentially been disrespecting a grown woman on the matter. Only recently have I brought my name into it hoping it may push off any possible sexist ideas these people have.

Ha, try being a young woman in the world. I get so much disrespect on a daily basis it's not even funny. Being a girl means I automatically know nothing. It's lovely.

I know Nyako, I really do apologize for the way women are treated in this world. Women deserve everything and more than men really. You've all suffered long enough.

Oh, and got another wonderful email on his behalf. Threatening that making posts against his company will result in "Few have done it before and regreted later on."

Honestly I would no longer accept anything other than a full refund. Intiate BBB proceedings, contact your credit card company and explain the situation to them they sometimes have consumer advocates on hand to assist in these kind of situations or they may just cancel payment on it.
post #55 of 81
really... Hey AVA DIRECT.. You Suck




FYI this is great for you, the threatening letters, etc are great fodder.... Let your CC company & the BBB get a hold of them.
post #56 of 81
FYI, I read a lot of their customer reviews... It's amazing how many 1 post people reported they are a great company. Nah, they wouldn't write customer reviews of themselves...

btw, for the CC company how do I go about doing this since it's been paid 4 months back? also do you just call the support line for it?

sorry haha, never did it before and nor have my parents
post #58 of 81
Donkey enough already....Contact your CC, file a Credit Card dispute, show them emails regarding the situation on this build, explain you bought a product, it hasn't workt 3 outta the 4 months which is unacceptable, they currently have the machine and u want your money back.


The CC will file a claim, they will have to dispute it with your CC lawyers and trust me, if your CC files the claim and gives you a credit it basically means they know you already won and are sure of the dispute.


Screw those guys, give us a website address so we can plaster the name all over the place, to not buy from them.



JUST FYI DONKEY, so you know i'm for real.

I bought a WOW account a while back, usually I buy them then sell them a few months later, this was my 7th Account purchase. This was a 525$ account and well worth it, HOWEVER, after 3 days of playing the original owner called up WOW and had the email/password/address changed back and I had no access...He then told me it was my problem the account was stolen ( not possible because he stated he was the original owner and only original owners can take back accounts). I said ok tough guy, called my CC explained to them, that he violated the WOW EULA and sold me something he never owned. My CC (wells fargo) filed a report, credited me 525$ and said have a nice day. 4 Weeks later I get a letter from his CC saying they want to fight it LOL...My CC says no problems their lawyers are on it, they just wanted a hand written version of what I told them not to worry though.


Haven't heard anythign in 2 months I got my money back on something I never even had, you can surely get your money back on something thats real!

No worries. Alot of card companies do things differently so ymmv. But contact their support line and explain the situation. Nothing meant by this but I'd have the card holder intiate this. Make sure to collect all interactions between you and the vendor and give them if requested (all of them hiding anything could be detrimental to your case) and see where they can get you. If they can't get traction take it to the BBB. Not promising this will work but it's better than letting them roll over you. They will probably try and appeal anything so make sure you are up front about all of it and you should do ok. After all you are the customer.

don't mention my name or anything as I'd like to avoid further threats and stuff by the company.
