buyaib.com review: THUMBS DOWN

I copied and pasted my review, if this is considered too much by the moderators, please feel free to delete this. I just don't want this happening to anyone else!

My review:

Ordered a single stick of PC100 128MB SDRAM for my sister's desktop. Arrived a few days later than expected, didn't ship until days after I placed the order, but my credit card was charged. I installed the memory, started the computer, and immediately got scrolling numbers, letters, etc.

"MEMORY ERROR"

I followed the RMA steps, mailed it back, and JUST NOW (almost a month later) got a credit, minus the 15% fee, of course (which somehow managed to be 27%!!). The order was $14, I received a credit of $10.20. I'm confused as to why they chose to take more than 15%, which is all they are legally entitled to. I'm thinking about calling my bank to dispute the original $14 just on principal! Looking at my order confirmation email, they include instructions on how to file for an RMA, and now reading the other reviews, I think this is because they knowingly send out bad memory just to make a few bucks.

I purchased some Kingston ValueRam from googlegear.com as I have in the past, and it works great.

Bottom line: It's NOT WORTH saving a few bucks for the headache of a) bad memory, b)returning bad memory, and c) getting reliable memory like you should in the first place.

Skip a few beers, drive thru, whatever to save a few bucks and buy from a reputable company!
