"Was going to place an order for some USB2.0 gear (cards and external drive cases) And came up with a Pricewatch advertised total of $88 before shipping. Much to my surprise, they wanted to charge another $57 in shipping! In my book, that's called -FRAUD-"
"Overall a good experience with them. Only complaint is with the profit on shipping they charge. They advertise some of the best prices on the net, but after shipping charges it is really only about what everyone else is charging for the total of the order. May purchase from them again depending on prices."
"Excellent experience! Ordered an OEM hard-drive. On-line ordering was easy and straight forward. Advertised price and shipping costs were competitive. Item shipped as expected and arrived on time. E-mail confirmation sent for both order confirmation and shipping. Would order from them again."
"I had an excellent experience ordering from House of Computers. I ordered 5 different components (CD, DVD, HD, video card, and sound card) all as part of the same order; my order was shipped the next day and arrived on time. Everything was well packed and all parts arrived as ordered. The prices were very good as well. The shipping charge was pretty hight but anyone who does mail order on computer parts over the internet already knows that the reseller's profit is often made on the shipping. So I don't sweat it, I just look at the cost of the parts + shipping as a whole and look for the best deal. Even with the high shipping charge House of Computers' prices were very low and like I said, my order arrived right on time and in perfect condition. I will definitely consider House of Computers for future orders."
"After seeing the comments from this website and after ordering I became a bit scared. The package shipped when it was supposed to ship, it arrived viz UPS when it was supposed to arrive, and was able to be tracked the entire way. When the box arrived, the 5 USB zip drives that I had ordered were still in the box from Iomega, and the serial numbers matched those listed on the box. The boxes were unopened retail boxes. I still have concern over the number of "poor" ratings for HOCT, but they came through in a pinch, and I saved about $300 over anyone else. This S&H charge was a bit high, but with their prices being so much lower than anyone else, it was worth it.
The only problem that I really had with this company is the customer service, or lack there of. I called to verify that the product was actually in stock (as other comments were that only partial orders had been shipped) and a very gruff 'yes' was given, without truely knowing if the person was looking or not. After a few more questions, I decided not to push too hard, and order online. I would not recommend talking to someone, and if there is a problem, then it's going to be your fault, not theirs."
"Good company. Easy transaction. They emailed order confirmation immediately along with UPS tracking information. Very quick shipment and also included paper invoice when products arrived. Thanks House of Computers. We will surley do business again soon!"
"Repeat customer, great service with excellent prices."
"Purchased Several items to assemble computer for my kid as birthday gift. I got excellent prices. I called many times for tech support of House of Computers. Good Prices and support.
Will order again and recomend to my freinds."
"Bought a 40 gig 5400RPM Hard Drive. Great prices and fast shipping. Overall it's a good company to deal with."
