After purchasing a GeForce MX400 64Mb card from this online company, I found that the card was defective. I contacted the company, they wanted to charge me a 15% restock fee to return a defective unit. The only other option they offered was a replacement. However, I would have to pay for frieght to and from to get a new card. I also originally paid 2 Day UPS to get the card.

I am very frustrated with this company. Just wanted to pass along a warning...

I have been working in the A/V industry for over 10 years. Believe me when I tell you that when a vendor returns defective merchandise to a manufacturer, they do it on the manufacturer's dime and NEVER get charged a restock fee. So, in effect, MixPC is making sure that they make a profit on every transaction.

I know that a restock fee of around $20.00 isn't really a huge deal. However, this kind of dishonest business practice really irritates me.

Anyway, stay away from MixPC. (BTW I found them through Price Watch, who does not have a rating system. Buyer beware!)

Hey,

That's absurd! A restock fee should only be charged for an item that is indeed restocked.

Thanks for the warning.

Man...sorry to hear about the shoddy service http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/frown.gif

I thought Pricewatch had some sort of "bad business" thing in a comment section, but maybe that was before they changed the site around. There is a small line at the bottom of the Pricewatch page that reads "Bad shopping experience? Click Here" It is a a complaint form...but are they gonna let the buyer in on this? Sure doesn't help in buying though http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/frown.gif

While you're still infuriated write the BBB (keep the letter nice though).

Reseller Ratings (http://www.resellerratings.com/a.html) might be a good place to stop before ordering...Or after being burned...
