Their rating has slipped down to almost 5,they're quickly becoming another Cyberpower.It's a shame,there are so few online builders with reasonble prices and good ratings.It seems to be a case of success ruining the company.Their own forum is filled with customers with problems with systems,waiting long periods for orders,and complaints of not even being able to get in contact with anyone for support.And now they seem to be censoring posts that complain about it instead of addressing issues.

michaels39,You mean like this?

I have to call in to question this latest development with Monarch.
Out of the blue I received this E-Mail...

Hello,



Can you please provide some kind of proof for your order with Monarch computers that you placed on our website?



Your review was made under the username of Ballast and was posted on 8/8/03 2:09 PM.



Can you please provide me with proof of this review? The seller is contesting it.



Regards,

Thank you, sir.



That’s perfect.



Your review will remain.



I appreciate you taking the time to do this.





Regards,

Ever notice how Monarch can have a bad review and then its turned into a "Very Satisfied"one? You never see that crap on the others.

Just so you know...

It's not the first time I've seen this,many have reported that Monarch uses these tactics now.I really hoped they would make a real effort to improve,like I said,it's hard to find a good builder with decent prices and selection,but I don't see it happening.They can't change or censor complaints here at RR,like they do on their own forum,so it seems they use pressure tactics,i.e.,if the complainer changes his review,then they'll give them the support they already deserve.The most telling thing I see in their forum is that customers with problems get more help and advice from other readers than from actual Monarch employees,they should charge Monarch for doing their job for them.When an employee does respond,it's "open the system and try this,swap this part,try a different part(like most people have extra components just lying around)".Excuse me,but when you pay thousands for a system that's supposedly put through exhaustive tests before shipping,you shouldn't have to play twenty questions and do your own maintenance just to get it to work out of the box!

It took a BBB complaint, a "very dissatisfied" rating here and a credit card dispute to get my credit from an order I cancelled on August 2nd. Sterling from Monarch actually called and tried to get me to change my rating the other day. He said he personally saw the credit input. (Apparently this was true--a first from Monarch!) The way Sterling saw it, this credit was supposed to make me feel all warm and snuggly with Monarch. $#!@, they don't even follow their own terms and conditions that they fall back on so regularly! (They're supposed to process credits within 15 days--it does NOT say business days!) Perhaps when #@%% freezes over I'll change my rating, and order from Monarch again! Stay away from them!

They had the nerve to send me a customer satisfaction survey.

If they gave a darn enough to read the survey, you could have fun with it! I suspect it would go unread like all correspondence to Monarch!

Their 6 month rating is down to 5.98, something happened over there. They used to be much better then this. I can't get a response out of anyone over there. I belong to one of the AMD bb'ds and one of the mods there said they have a Monarch represented page, and I should PM them with my problem, I did, same old same old no response. I called in and asked to speak to a supervisor but was given the old voice mail routine. I did however ask the operator if his company was going bankrupt, he said no.
