Ashamed & Angry

My RR Rant:

For all those who complain about them "not honoring their prices" they are quite ridiculous in placing negative reviews, and here is why:

They had a hard drive listed for $3. Anybody can tell that it is a pricing error. This hard drive was selling for around $70 normally. Obviously they canceled all the orders and fixed the price.

They gave an explanation that they update their pricing from their warehouse price list, and that the warehouse made a mistake in their pricing, so therefore the automated system transferred the price error to AxionTech. By the time they realized the problem, hundreds, if not thousands of orders had been placed.

Say 2000 drives had been ordered (most people were ordering 10-20, so this number is probably low... At $3 they would get $6000. Assuming the cost of the drives is $60, THEIR COST would be $120,000. So they would in effect be LOSING $114,000 which would likely put the company into bankruptcy. You can't blame the company for not honoring the "deal".

Not to mention they have a disclaimer on their site explicitly saying: "Axion may not be held responsible for typing errors and/or errors due to server(s) malfunction." So they have nothing on them. Not to mention it wasn't even THEIR fault.

Now there are those who have conspiracy theories and such, well, they are still CONSPIRACIES! They are not fact, and just somebody's wild imagination who refuses to believe their explanation.

I am ashamed of those who try to ruin this company one way or another, whether it be by making them honor the absurd "deal" or by trashing them here or else ware. It's sad to see that they also selectively tell their stories, omitting certain detail that would most likely change your opinion of their review.

I hope that they will either retract their negative comments, or that you will not be affected by them, because in truth, they are absurd.

People trying to get something for nothing, literaly trying to steal because they know the price is wrong, then have to audacity to cry foul when they are told it was a mistake. Irks me too.

Some people are idiots. I suggest Scott remove all offensive posts and places a moratorium on reviews for that site for a couple weeks.

I completely agree. I tried to buy two myself, but when I got the cancellation email I just shrugged it off as "oh well, I tried". Trying to burn a company for an obvious mistake is just wrong.

I didn't try to buy any... It was pretty evident as to what was going on, and it was only a matter of time before the news broke that it was a pricing error.

And thank-you to the person who decided to get revenge on me by signing me up for 44 newletters.

I apologize 87 Newsletters. Unfortunatley for you, they are all confirmation e-mails. I guess they had to do that so stupid people like you couldn't do stupid things like that.

I completely agree that being mad over this is absurd and childish. These "children" should be ashamed of themselves. GET OVER IT, BABYS!!!
