"This is the absolute worst experience I have ever had when dealing with an internet retailer.

I ordered a product, paid for a Fed Ex shipping. My card was processed immediately but the vendor attempted to deceive me repeatedly about the status of my order. When it was finally shipped, it was shipped via a lower quality type of shipping that I specifically did not pay for.

My monitor arrived and it doesn't work. It's just one thing after another. This company uses *MANY* different fronts and names to try and confuse consumers.

Please don't use them unless there's absolutely no other choice.

Bureau File Experience

We rate this company as having an unsatisfactory business performance record based on a pattern of complaints that cause us concern.

Complainants allege the company fails to deliver ordered products, or, that components received are delivered defective, or incompatible with their systems. Other customers complain they return merchandise, but the company fails to issue credits or refunds for the returns, and fails to respond to their inquiries on refund or order status.


The company responds to most complaints by providing credits or refunds, shipping orders, and/or exchanging non-compatible units for compatible ones. Some complaints remain unresolved, meaning the customers are not satisfied with the company's response. A few complaints are unanswered.


Be sure to carefully evaluate the company's technical assistance, servicing, and refund and exchange policies prior to ordering products. Purchasers ship computers back at their own cost and often bear the burden of time lost without a computer.


The Better Business Bureau does not endorse, recommend or disapprove of any company, product or service.
