My mail in rebate was approved as early as 10-18-06 but still no check. Rebate center in Minnesota processing claim. I purchased my phone thru Cellular Choices www.cellularchoices.net. A complete address is not shown on its website as it ABOUT US shows it is Oregon based. I searched the yellow pages thru various internet sites but was unable to locate an address . I searched the BBB's website serving Alaska, Oregon and Wetern Washington. It lists Cellular Choices www.cellularchoices.net. Address is 16004 SW Tuala Sherwood Rd Ste 166... read full review »

Gurus2go
January 10, 2007
I was appalled at the level of service that I hat gotten from Gurus2go. Four times I have a person scheduled to fix my computer and four times the jack off repair man seems too clueless to do anything productive. I swear, I'm not doing anything like that online ever again. Going with them was the worst decision I ever made. read full review »

Sears - Calypso Washer
January 10, 2007
We purchased the washing machine/dryer set in Dec. 2000 and have had nothing but problems with the washer. The pump was replaced twice during the first two years of owning it and then it broke a THIRD time and I threw a fit and demanded they replace my machine which they did. Now the circuit board is malfunctioning and of course my extended warranty has run out so I am w/o a washing machine right now. Found out that they have a class action lawsuit against them due to all of the problems from the Calypso washers and I am filling out my eleven... read full review »

HP Customer Service / Pavilion M7570N
January 9, 2007
January 9, 2007. HP Pavillions stink and so does thier customer service. I have been having issues with HP's Pavillion "media Center" PC, since 11-26-06 (day after Thanksgiving). The issues are the OS (XP Media Center) keeps going corrupt. The thing basicly acted like the 1970's movie charector, "Sybil." Didn't matter what i tried to do, the PC went corrupt, in many ways. HP Customer Service was not help either. Since 11-26-06 (day 1 of purchase) , via phone, I was constantly hearing "that will be 60... read full review »

Kobian Pte Ltd
January 9, 2007
Well, the 8 to 10 weeks specified for reimbursement have elapsed. Now comes the tedious task of chasing the bandits. My buying choice - Hip Street 1Gb MP3 player - was influenced by the rebate on offer. Now it seems that it may not have been quite such 'a good buy'! Is this a deliberate deception? I'd say that 30-50% of rebates I've applied for have been either problematic in one way or another. How many other folks just 'give up' and let these bandits get away with it? Back to 'Kobian'. How... read full review »

Vivitek Corporation
January 9, 2007
I purchased a tv through Shop NBC in February of 2006. When the tv went bad and I tried to return it Shop NBC told me they have a strict 30 return policy. This was approximately 6 months after the purchase. I followed their instructions on how to get repairs through the maker. After about 7 weeks of phone tag with them the problem was diagnosed. I was given a number and told to call it once the parts they were sending arrived. I received the parts on December 7,2006 I made my first call on December 8,2006.

Microsoft - Xbox360
January 9, 2007
I purchased an Xbox360 for my son, who is mentally handicapped and does not have the freedom / opportunities of normal folks. He depends upon things like video games to keep him active and happy. The new system did not work (had steady red lights), and I called Customer Support on October 16. I spoke with Nancy. She determined that my system was bad and asked me to ship it to McAllen, TX (at my expense) for a replacement (refurbished) unit. I received the unit a couple of weeks later. It, too, had the "red light" problem, so I... read full review »

Kenmore Electric Range

Back in 4/05 i had dinner baking in oven, and the broiler turned on, could not turn it off. The only way to turn it off was to unplug the stove, when you plugged it back in--Red hot broiler turned on!! Sears replaced the "control Circuit Board" that controls all the electronics. Well...now 1/8/07, it was a repeat, it happened again. Dinner in the oven, i just happened to walk thru the kitchen, pulled the burning chicken out of oven, saw the "broiler" on, when the oven was on "bake", and could not turn the broiler off... read full review »

Gizmos2Go
January 8, 2007
I purchased a PALM LifeDrive PDA from Gizmos2go on December 06 as a Chistmas gift. As it wasn't opened until Christmas, we had NO idea that the cord supplied with the unit was not the Hot Synch cord, thus making it impossible to set up the device. I have sent several emails to Gizmos2go asking for the right cord, and have been totally ignored. I called the number for Gizmos2go that was on the charge slip and that voice mail box is full and incapable of taking any more messages. Obviously, they have their money and could care le... read full review »

Garra Computer Hub

I called Garra in February of 2006 and explained to him that I had 2 floppy drives on my computer and only one was hooked up. I told him my son built the computer but did not know how to make 2 floppy drives work. Garra told me it was real easy to fix by doing a daisy chain. He came out to my house and figured out that he could not do a daily chain without a particular part. He told me he would come back with the part. I gave him $50 and he left. He never came back with the part. I talked to him several times with him replying "the part i... read full review »

LG Electronics Washer/Dryer
January 7, 2007
December 2005 I purchased a front loading LG washer/dryer combo from a local Best Buy. The washer has given fair performance, but the dryer is pure junk. I have the second dryer now after three service calls, with time off from work for these calls, and wrangling with the inept, don't care about the customer, customer service rep;s who work for LG. The first dryer had defective rollers right out of the box. No amount of new rollers in the previous, or the present dryer will remedy this problem.

I didn't notice at the time, but when I printed out the invoice, nothing came up but the order number (172577) and all their return and replacement policy.

I have been a devoted Mitsubishi Electronics customer since 1998 when I purchased my first Mitsubishi 50” Big Screen TV.

On February 4, 2005 I purchased a Mitsubishi Electronics 62” Diamond Micro Display DLP HDTV Big Screen (my third big screen since 1998).

January 2, 2007, I bought a HDMI-DVI cable for my monitor and to use it for my PS3. I asked 3 different employees if they would work. Two of the BestBuy employees said "Yeah, it should work on any monitor and for your PS3!" and brushed me off. I asked another employee just to make sure and said the same thing, trying to hide in some corner aisle on his cell phone while on the floor working. So when I got home, I've tried to plug it in and it was not even compatible with my systems! I came back to return it to make an... read full review »

This company falsely advertised their items for sell and if purchased when the items would ship. They have set up fake websites luring people in with hard to find items. They will (and have) take your money and send you nothing. I placed an order with them on November 14, 2006 and paid for the items. As of today, January 4, 2007 I have not received anything from them. The websites have shut down are are reopening under different names. read full review »

I ordered 2 ink jet cartridges from them. They did not fit so I returned them according to their policy. I e-mailed at least 14 times, sent fax and called repeatably. Today after 5 1/2 months they said they credited me, but there is no credit on my credit card. Their answer was "well we did and there is nothing we can do about it now" My credit card company is now dealing with them.

He also refused to refund shipping and a 5% restocking fee. I've never experienced such an unprovoked, disgruntled attitude from anyone in a business situation.

We bought a Whirlpool top freezer refrigerator in late 2001. It worked fine for 5 years but then 1 month after the warranty expired, so did the fridge. We had a Whirlpool-trained repair person come out to replace the relay (which was in fact no good); with the new part, the fridge worked for about 10 minutes until the compressor stopped again (and was extremely hot to the touch). This happened 2 days before Christmas dinner (which we had to cancel). We lost over $300 in food. While the fridge did last through the warranty (compressor... read full review »
