PC Connection Online Superstore Online Store: Exemplary customer service

Tue, 19 Jun 2007 16:51:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author prpeders - When a manufacturer failed to send a promised rebate, PC Connection was extremely helpful. I had other positive experiences with their customer support as well. I would definitely shop with PC Connection again...

Disappointing

Thu, 4 May 2006 12:09:32 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author prpeders - The first one could be written to, but not read from. PNY replaced it under warranty eventually, but the replacement still isn't working right. Although I can read and write to it without error, it is very slow. I get the feeling that there are many...

Not bad, really

Wed, 1 Jun 2005 17:57:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author prpeders - This is my first mp3 player, so I really have nothing to compare it with, other than my expectations. And my expectations weren't so stringent. First, it's small, roughly 2 x 2 1/2 x 1/2 inches, and very light. All good. But the display leaves a lot...

Bow wow

Mon, 21 Feb 2005 17:47:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author prpeders - The movie was a dog. Not to say that it had no redeeming features - the friendship between the young girl and the lawn man was endearing, if improbable. And the girl herself was a real sweetie, and a good actress - perfect for the part. In fact, the...

Zappos.com: Based on one experience (so far), this is a GREAT store

Wed, 9 Feb 2005 13:52:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author prpeders - The home page on their web site is too busy; nevertheless, I found what I was looking for - a particular model of dance shoe - using the Search feature. Ordering was easy, and due to a sale, the price was unbeatable. Add to that free and very fast...

Expensive, but worth it for important data

Mon, 24 Nov 2003 16:54:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author prpeders - I have used several brands of CD-R, and with almost all of them, about 30% of the disks have turned into coasters/frisbees. This is horrible, and simply unacceptable if you want to reliably store data. With Mitsui Gold, I've had only 5% or less go...

Don't get suckered by the trailer

Tue, 18 Nov 2003 23:39:55 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author prpeders - I saw the trailer for Under the Tuscan Sun, and thought it sounded great - a story about someone who gives up the hassle of USA city living for the Italian countryside, complete with old house, vineyards, great vistas... For a variety of reasons, I...

Keep looking

Tue, 21 Oct 2003 19:37:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author prpeders - I'll keep this short and sweet (or sour). The camera is small, which is good, but the pictures have a terrible blue cast. Outdoors on a sunny day with everything set to automatic ought to give ideal results, but pictures taken under those conditions si...

Lots of features, inadequate execution. Not ready for prime time.

Thu, 25 Sep 2003 22:42:38 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author prpeders - I bought this telephone with digital answering machine and caller id because of its impressive list of features. (I won't list them all, because this is a review, not an advertisement. Suffice it to say that I was impressed.) I regret that few of them wor...

Service C+; Equipment C-

Wed, 24 Sep 2003 12:33:07 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author prpeders - After being cheated by Ryder the last time I rented a truck, I thought I'd try U-Haul. Next time I'll go for Penske; they cost more, but I think it will be worth it. There are lots of thorough reviews on this site, so I'll keep this brief. U-Haul p...

Gateway Accessories: Terrible customer service

Sun, 23 Mar 2003 14:55:53 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author prpeders - I bought a refurbished Gateway LCD monitor from another vendor, but it was supposed to have a 90 day Gateway warranty. When it crapped out after four days, I called Gateway for warranty service, as the vendor suggested. (The vendor said that because I...

TechStore Online Store: My worst online shopping experience

Wed, 20 Nov 2002 21:27:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author prpeders - TechStore is a disaster. Stay away from them at all costs.

I ordered from them a tape drive, a card providing an interface to the tape drive, and some tapes for the tape drive. All items were listed as being in stock.

A few days...

Other World Computing Online Store: One bad experience and I never went back

Wed, 20 Nov 2002 20:41:12 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author prpeders - This happened a few years ago; maybe they've improved since then. But someone else will have to tell you about that, because I won't buy from them again.

I bought two identical processor upgrades from them, for two friends' identical Macs. One...

eBay: Beware!

Mon, 18 Nov 2002 19:50:50 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author prpeders - First, I'll admit that I haven't bought or sold anything on EBay. Not that I haven't tried, though.

First, I tried to sell stuff. EBay does not allow you to sell anything unless you give them your bank account number. That means you either...

uBid Online Auction: Avoid UBid or get cheated!

Mon, 18 Nov 2002 19:12:47 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author prpeders - I bought several items (from different sellers) at UBid auction. One in particular was not as described in the auction - instead of the brand-name manufacturer the seller advertised, the item was made by a no-name company. Furthermore, it did not have...
