HP Pavilion dv 2500
July 4, 2008
I bought a Pavilion dv 2500 in Hong Kong in October 2007. I live in France. It now seems a lifetime ago I phoned the UK Tech Help line. My call was answered in South Africa. I have used laptops for over 20 years and I know when the E drive (as it is on the Pavilion) is not working. But I had to check for the Analyst all the software for 75 minutes before he said that I needed a new Lightscribe disc drive. He told me to phone the French Tech Support line I did. The first guy phoned me again to see that all was well. I told him that the French... read full review »

Onida Microwave 20L Convection
July 4, 2008
I purchased Onida Microwave (20L Convection) in Feb 2008. In May 2008, it developed some problem and microwave stopped functioning, though the convection and grill were working. I registered a complaint with their service center in Bangalore (ph 080-41343000) and they transferred the complaint to Jayanagar office. I was told to contact Mr Sridhar there. Why should i be told to contact some one to get the problem fixed. Isn't it there duty to fix it after i have lodged the complaint? Anyways, I tried contacting Mr. Sridhar on his cell no... read full review »

Hughes Net / Satellite Internet
July 3, 2008
I live out in the country a little ways so I thought my only option was satellite internet... so I bit the bullet and called hughes net. WHAT A MISTAKE!! When they came out... the technician was rude (didn't take his shoes off or cover them up in my house)... they contract out the installation work... AGLS technologies... wouldn't use them again either! The tech conned my into purchasing a 125 dollar "pole" because it would get better reception than putting the satellite on the roof... I wrote the check directly to the... read full review »

CellC
July 3, 2008
This is a long one, but worth a read, trust me, it's almost entertaining if it wasn't so ridiculous! I have had terrible reception and call quality with CellC. On weekends, in particular, my mother (also with CellC) and I can frequently not get through to each other and yet, if I use my husbands phone to call her (he's with MTN), it gets through. One would think that they would encourage family members to be on the same network... Due to this and the fact that their 'Casual Chat' contract doesn't provide any... read full review »

RetraVision
July 3, 2008
I purchased a Sony TV and a Home theater at Retravision, (Electric city, 139, High Road, Willetton). This purchase was through a interest free credit. I was interested to take an extended warranty for the products and inquired about the warranty. The staff issued me a warranty and billed into the credit facility. I was not told that the warranty was not of Sony's but another company's. I noticed that Sony was offering a warranty when I opened the product boxes. The warranty papers offered allowed cancellation of the warranty... read full review »

Fixya.com
July 2, 2008
I am having trouble with my Motorola V9m, so I googled to find if others have had problems. Up popped fixya.com, promising to offer "expert advice." I entered my query, and paid $9.95 for what I thought would be fast response from at least one, possibly several "expert opinions." I received one question, which I answered within minutes. Since then -- silence. Buyer Beware. read full review »

on 30/6/2008 we fill in forms to apply for a Samsung J700 at the Cell C shop in Brackenfell. The lady that assisted us was not familiar what was going on, she told us that we have to wait for 1 day before we will receive the phone, the next day I went to the shop and asked her again when the cellphone will be ready. She told me that it will take 2 days. This afternoon I went again to asked them what was going on. My daughter and I had to wait because there was a meeting and they cannot go into the office while the people are busy. They asked... read full review »

Western Digital
July 2, 2008
Western Digital's customer services is a disgrace! Having sent back a hard drive under warranty, and received notification of its arrival by them, Western Digital have, after three months of waiting, still not sent me a replacement hard drive. Contacting their customer services is a real challenge of patience and frustration. Several emails have gone unanswered, attempts to call by telephone result in long and expensive delays in waiting to speak to a human being and not a machine. The drive sent to them in April 2008, remains with them... read full review »

MS Xbox 360
July 1, 2008
The Xbox 360 was suppose to be the hottest game console out, but turned to be junk... We purchased the unit as christmas gift for out son, by February it did not work, we sent it back & they replaced the unit, which also does not work. It is difficult to understand how can you purchase a play station unit & it last for years, the Xbox doesn't make it through 1 year. When you call Xbox of course it is out of warranty you paid $99.00 to have it repaired or replaced & again you told it is a hardware malfunction. Ms was aware of the issues this product & fell they owe the consumers a refund for the game and all accessories. read full review »

TomTom One
July 1, 2008
I bought the Tomtom one New Edition for $400 less than a year ago. When I tried to access Map corrections, I got a message that the map is out of date. I contacted TomTom support and was told that I need to buy the new USA & Canada map (v7.15) for another $100 in order to use mapshare. I complained about having to spend an extra $100 ($500 in total for Tomtom one new edition). The Tomtom one 3rd Edition now costs half the price ($189.99 at BestBuy) I bought mine less than a year ago. TomTom is adamant to provide an updated map free of charge.

It appears that there are several electronics warehouses in Brooklyn, NY. Digitalet is one of them. From the content of other complaints on other websites about electronics warehouses in Brooklyn, it would not surprise me if they are all owned and operated by the same person/people. Digitalet has a website and is an Ebay power seller. Over 95% of the products Digitalet sells are "refurbished." Digitalet neglects to inform customers of that. Read their "return policy" well.

Ascentive
June 26, 2008
In Australia this company would be taken to court for false advertising. 'Down Under' we simply describe Ascentive Software as full of bullshit. Surely there is some form of restriction that can remove these crooks from the web, and protect innocent people? Having removed everything pertaining to this suspect company from my computer, I am now receiving unwanted email, expounding how 'brilliant we are'. Try and unsubscribe from these dickheads and you will experience 'error' all the time. Apart from the bullshit they peddle on the web, the persons responsible should be in jail.

Retailers and Merchants have been being contacted over the last 2 years about changing their current credit card machines to comply with a new law that does not print all the credit card numbers on the receipts that merchants print off their machines. It is California Civil Code 1747.09. Some of the merchant companies, including my own Wells Fargo contact you saying you have to upgrade to the new machines, forcing you into a new lease, forcing you into a new machine even if your machine currently works fine.

The new RCA Opal model 4204 friggin sucks! Where do I start? First, let's talk about the FM radio. On my past mp3 players, I could receive at least partial signal of all the stations from Cincinnatii when I live clear up in Winchester. With this foolish insult of an mp3 player, I could only pick up local radio stations! It wouldn't even attempt to pick up radio stations from the city! WTF?

I thought I would buy some RAM with faster timings than many other brands offer. I ordered GeIL Esotera RAM from Newegg.com. I received my RAM and immediately had to clip the UPC to send in for the rebate. This voided my opportunity to return this piece of junk to Newegg. My RAM set was defective. Testing showed one stick to be causing the problem while the other stick was working okay. I filed for a warranty replacement with GeIL USA, which was approved. I sent in my RAM and received no email or phone call over a long period of... read full review »

I'm writing today to express my dissatisfaction with the service department in the Montreal area.

The camera was 'repaired' fairly promptly, but it took way too long to get the camera back. I called 2 days after I sent it.
