"I bought a mac book pro from them back in November- it was shipped real fast and it worked great for about a month- then the screen kept going black on it- but then it kind of fixed itself- and it worked for a while longer- then the screen started to freeze up on me- the problem now is they want you to take off all your files- and I can't even deleate my face book password or anthing- afraid to send it back cause it has all my pers. info on it that I can't deleate- I was told by a apple guy to stay way from the 2.2 and the 2.4 mac book pros cause they all have problmes- so now I have a 700.00 paper weight cause I don't feel good about sending this back with all my info on it- Live and Learn- don't buy anything re-furbished!

"I have used GainSaver several times and have been pleased with the purchase and the great deals. The shipment has always been on time and no problems with the product. I would recommend using GainSaver."
"I bought a pc tablet for college, and was a little worried about ordering from GainSaver, but they sure did deliver! I got my tablet fast and for super cheap! Extremely happy with my purchase! "
"My last purchase was great and I'm looking forward to saving money with GainSaver in the future. "
"My macbook went down, precisely when I needed it most. Gainsaver came through once again with exceptional pricing, high quality, and super fast shipping. You've got a customer for life right here."
"Great service, iMac exactly as described, works like new"
"I was very impressed with what the website offers and the prices seem hard to beat for Mac products. The shipping was very fast."
"I had never heard of gainsaver until i was in the market for a new computer and they simplified the whole process for me. I was able to get exactly the mac I wanted as well as being able to have gainsaver install some alternate hardware components that would not have been available to me otherwise. I also was able get all this for my ideal price and when I promptly received my computer it was basically brand new. I highly recommend that if you are in the market for a new mac you should get it from gainsaver because you are not going to get the type of quality you want for a price you want to pay anywhere else."
"I received the Mother board for the Imac I7 in three days great but when i place it in my mac it didn't work. my fault that i ran out of time to send it back but 90 days on returns would help alot.
I notice the board had been altered but not tested. Big lost of $154.oo Karma will get my dollars back. Gainsaver? you gain I lose."
"I'm pretty sure this place is a total criminal operation- It's totally, totally sketch.
I decided to place an order for a new Mac Book Pro on gainsaver.com. I did the whole order process and put it through and my card declined. Not a big deal- i discovered my billing info was correct, so I switched it. I tried to place the order again and it declined. I wrote Customer Service seeing what the issue and called my bank. All my information from my bank matched what I had. Customer service via email was totally unhelpful- I believe it was one line "Your card has declined and your billing information is still incorrect." I wrote back something sassy.
The sassyness must of gotten to them because the next day I received....10 calls from 7 am-10am (till i answered one and said "hey i'm at work i'll call you back at lunch") from their Customer Service Man...i forgot his name, but i'm pretty sure it is only one. Annoying and weird.
When I did call him back, he said I had listed my billing information in the shipping section and vice versa. Not true- i was looking at it. I also work in Customer Service for an internet retailer and am particularly sensitive to mix ups like that- but even so. I was looking at it, and he was incorrect. So, I'm starting to feel a little wary that the company who is BUILDING MY MAC does not even have a site that accurately records information without switching it up- be it a bug, or just an insecure site, or whatnot...weird. Still- it seemed like an awesome deal so I continued and corrected my information.
When I checked my order status online after everything was all set and done- I noticed instead of putting the order I placed through, he created a NEW ORDER that was $50 more than the one I created. I know when it comes to the price of a Macbook, $50 is like spit in a bucket- but still- he did not mention the increase or change at all and did not honor my original order before charging.
That is when I googled gainsaver scam and read the Mac Forums- horror story after horror story after horror story. It also revealed that most of their positive reviews on this site are totally and completely fake- posted on the same day, and copy and pasted onto different reviews.
Fortunately, I called my card company and canceled the charge (oh yeah- because when i tried to cancel the order they didn't pick up- and then after i canceled the charge and requested a new card with my bank THEN they called back). That being said- the login for their site is my email address- and since I've created an account on their site there have been 3 suspicious attempts to sign into my Google/email- so I'm pretty damn sure they are giving out/selling information to other criminals since I haven't created any new online accounts in the last 6 months (except for this one which i gave fake info to)- I created this one this month and now it seems my info is compromised...super. sketch. period.

"I got an incredible deal at Gainsaver.com!!! The item worked perfctly, the shipping was fast, and the price was absolutely unbeatable. Thanks Gainsaver!!"
"The laptop we got worked great and had no problems until a month after the warrenty was up. Now the screen cuts out if you move it or even bump it and the numbers on the keyboard don't work, have to use the on screen keyboard for that. I've heard this is fairly common, in the future that should be checked out before shipping. Trying to find someone to fix it for us, for now we have it hooked up to a tv, everything else works great."
"At first I thought I had a problem, then I learned it was me the operator. And as I learn how to operate it(because it is newer and more up to date) it's doing a lot better. Allen Roberts"
"I bought a computer from this site and paid for it and everything. I got a confirmation email saying it was being prepared to ship. Then I got an email stating there was an issue. I called them and they stated that the one I ordered wasnt in stock and I had to pay an additional 75.00 dollars for the one that was in stock. I tried to get them to bring this down, but they couldn't do anything and they were extremely short and rude. I won't be shopping here ever again. "
"Good product. Shipped as promised. We installed this product ourselves using YouTube videos. Would be nice to have a link attached or instructions."
