"DO NOT BUY HARD DRIVE FROM THIS SITE. There return replace policy (which requires a little hunting to find) is 15 days from when item ships! shipping which could be 7 days itself leaves you with 8 days to test item and contact them if it is bad. I installed drive 10/4 and on 10/14 it was dead. I called zip%^#*fly.com on 10/15 and was told sorry but your 17 days out from ship date get a referb from WD. I have ordered from them in the pasts and fortunately everything worked. I was really shocked by their attitude, but the worst part was when their customer service rep told me that they were out of the drive I had ordered only to log on to their site and see the item in stock!
THIS IS MY LAST PURCHASE FROM ZIPZOOMFLY.COM
and, by the way the 1st review I have ever written.

"Hello I have had relatively little experience with Zipzoomfly as i have only ordered about 5 things from them this year. But the items I have ordered from them All arrive in perfect condition with pretty decent shipping time. Zipzoomfly is starting to really compete with their prices and might end up being a steady place for me to order my electronics from. I have not needed to use their customer service or contact them so can't comment on that department but on prices and shipping they are great."
"Best price around on the product I wanted, and they had a rebate. However, they are inconvenient as hell with their "order verification" procedure. I was unable to use my normal credit card because of their billing vs shipping address policies. I used a different debit card to avoid the hassle, and they STILL held my order. Great prices, but it comes at a price."
"I ordered 6GB of memory on a Friday evening, as ZipZoomFly had it for the best price. I received an immediate order confirmation, and a shipping notice on Monday. The correct memory arrived two days later, immaculately packed."
"Not bad. I had some trouble with them canceling my first order however. "
"Worst Customer Service Ever! Do not order from these guys, especially since there always exists other online vendors with similar stock and prices. Even if another company is a few bucks more, I would Stay Away from ZipZoomFly
I must comment on not only the poor service I received from the company itself, but also from the customer service "Supervisor" Michael.
My order has been stalled for almost a week, listed as "packed" under the order status. Basically, the order was processed but not shipped (like an online purgatory) Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for my order like a idiot. Never did I receive an email alerting me to the fact that the item was now "back-ordered", until I decided to personally called the company to inquire about my order. Michael told me that they ran out of the item a few days ago, but they were expecting new ones soon. Apparently they were content with simply letting me stew in my own ignorance. Now, keep in mind this is in direct opposition to their written online policy to email customers and allow them to cancel should an item become unexpectedly back-ordered. This is all in spite of the fact that my credit card was charged immediately after my order.
When I purchased, I paid for expedited shipping (2day), so that I may have my order by the time I needed it, which obviously did not happen. When I asked when I would receive my item, he told me he couldn't say exactly. In this day and age, especially with tracked expedited shipping, how can he not know that? How can he expect me to wait around, while plenty of other online merchants conduct better business more quickly?
When I asked to then cancel my order, "supervisor" Michael told me he could put in a cancel request to the warehouse, but cannot guarantee anything (what the heck does that mean?) When I asked to speak to someone else, he stated that he was the only one I could speak to. At no point was any attempt made to rectify the company's error or poor service. I had to ask for an apology. Basically I was told that maybe my order would be canceled, or maybe it wouldn't, and that no one in the company could do anything more than that, at least according to Michael. Please keep in mind that they charged my credit card 4 business days ago. They were basically holding my money hostage, not sending me my order, and refusing to tell me what was going on.
The idea of ordering from a smaller company is that they should be able to offer better customer service, not worse. This was a terrible experience ordering from them, and it certainly won't happen again. "
"Finally received my rebate debit card after 134 days, aprox 4.5 months. This time frame is inexcusable.
ZZF started handling and offering their own rebates instead of marking the items down. ZZF believes the odds are in their favor that we will not file or we will screw up the rebate paperwork. For those whom do file a rebate with ZZF don't ever expect to receive one red cent.
It has been over 100 days since my rebate was mailed and it took over a month to be approved, I don’t ever expect to receive this rebate and if I do I will update this post. I have made no new purchases from ZZF due to the non payment of this rebate and I will continue to BOYCOTT Zipzoomfly until I receive the monies promised.
This whole rebate industry is one giant scam built on the theory that we are lazy, forgetful and will not take the time to mail the rebate.
Their is no reason one cannot receive his rebate in just a few weeks especially with ZZF since they already have the documentation that you purchased the item within the correct time frame.
Poor customer service ZZF.
@ This time I would advise all too just take you business elsewhere. Other Companies whom can be found on the net have excellent customer service and are actually interested in satisfying their customers.

"Purchased an XFX 9500GT video card from ZZF. The VGA cooler on the video card didn't work properly and I was having trouble getting XFX to give me an RMA for the card.
Thankfully, I spoke with a nice helpful CSR at ZZF, her name was Jennifer. She helped me get my card replaced. She was very diligent in calling me back after checking into the situation. I can't say enough about how well I was treated. "
"Ordered an Asus external DVD burner. Arrived the next day, very well packaged. Have never had a problem with a Zip Zoom Fly order over the last 4 years or so that I have purchased from them."
"Great seller. Provides detailed information on each order, Plus great support. Totally recommended!"
"Stay away. Bought the zerotherm fz120 heatsink/fan from them when there was a $20 rebate on 09/03/09. The rebate form can still be found here:
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/rebate/ZER_5007_080109_SHO.pdf
If you click on that rebate, it clearly shows that it is valid until 10/31/09. However, when you try to redeem it at the url listed in the form, the date change to 08/31/09, making my purchase ineligible. ZZF offers no help to resolve this issue and can only reply "offer ZER_5008" is only valid when ZER_5007 is valid until 10/31/09. Sure, offer ZER_5008 is valid, but is only $10, not $20. Worst customer service ever. Will not buy from again."
"Absolutely the worst customer service I've encountered. Ordered a Asus Netbook that was immediately discovered to have a separating case on the screen. Returned it via RMA and was informed that they could not find the defect. And there was no manager to speak to for a week. No one in authority at all. They would not refund the cost, they would not allow me to speak to the the "highly trained RMA "staff". They would only send it back to Asus for inspection. So 3 weeks from the date of order, nothing. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE CROOKS."
"Sold an item as in stock, marked the status as "Packed". I find out now two days later that they *NEVER* had the item and wont have it for a week. I could have ordered it from someone else but now it is out of stock everywhere. I feel very betrayed and suckered, I will not be purchasing from ZipZoomFly ever again, STAY AWAY!"
"Fast shipping. Cheap price for the hardrive. they sent me the rebate form when i asked, they emailed it then. got it as soon as i talked to them. had to call to get it, forgot to get it, to get them to send it to me. good shipping."
"Don't believe what their website says about item availability and shipping.
9/17- order placed
9/18- order marked packed (website says should ship later that day)
9/21 order still says packed; no shipping information received. I call and they say the item is back-ordered. They cannot explain how it could have been packed if it was on back-order. Web site still lists the item as in stock and shipping within 24 hrs. Says nothing about being back-ordered. Customer service rep says she will check on estimated shipping date and call me back. I get no call, so I call back and cancel the order. They will not provide a cancellation number and do not provide an email confirming cancellation until I file a dispute with Paypal the next day . I will not use them again."
