Ordered some TwinMos 3200 and Laserjet 1100 memory.
The products were shipped on time, but the shipping part was a frickin fiasco. Memory-X was not at fault. All I can complain about was that the shipping otions to canada were lacking.
Here's what happened:
December 6th 2003:
-Placed order # memx-xxxxxx.
-Shipping selected: DHL/Airborne to Canada, 2 days.
December 9th 2003:
-Sent email to Memory-X customer support requesting tracking number
-Received tracking number without incident
December 10th 2003:
-Got formal email from Memory-X with tracking info and URL
December 11th (?) 2003:
-Noticed on DHL Website that package arrived in Montreal on the 9th of December, but nothing had been delivered to me yet.
-Called DHL customer support. They had no idea where it was.
-They said it should be delivered within the day or by Monday December 15
-I was dissatisfied. Opened package tracing case, ticket # xxxxxxx
-Customer service agent said that Id get a callback within the day.
-No callback.
December 15th 2003:
-Called DHL customer service.
-Agent sent email and left voicemail at tracking department and said Id get callback.
-I got managers number, left voicemail.
-Trace desk called in. Said theyd start a warehouse search. Agent stated that all packages that arrived in Montreal on December 9th would have already been delivered.
-Agent said that hed call back the next day with warehouse search results.
December 16th 2003:
-No callback from Olivier.
-Callback from manager: Manager states that package is probably either lost or stolen. Told me to contact originator (memory-x). Told her that if package was sent out it was no longer Memory-Xs responsibility; it was DHLs.
-Manager said shed callback later in the day.
-I sent email to Memory-X customer service.
-Tried to call Olivier directly many times, busy tone.
-Got response from MemoryX. Filled out Lost/Delayed form and provided the above info as per agent's request. Faxed form.
-No callback from DHL Customer Service manager.
Today, the 17th:
-Got callback from DHL manager, package found.
-Package delivered successfully.
-Informed MemoryX of this. I was credited for the amount I paid for shipping. No bitching on my part required!

If I had any problems, it was with DHL, the shipping outfit.
-MemoryX sent the packages on time.
-MemoryX replied to all emails. (was always in touch)
-MemoryX was ready to re-ship order if it was indeed lost or stolen
-MemoryX credited my account with shipping cost.
[[[[[[[[[[CLIFF NOTES]]]]]]]]]]]]]
MemoryX had the products I needed at the price I wanted to pay. They did EVERYTHING right. If you need memory, give them a look-see.
But for the love of God, DO NOT USE DHL/Airborne under any circumstances.
If there's one negative aspect of ordering from MemX, it was that their shipping options to Canada were limited/crappy. US customers have the UPS option, which is excellent.
MEMORY-X ROCKS.
