I ordered a $1000 product on 01-23-07. Two days later the price was taken out of my bank account and the item was listed as shipped. No tracking number was given nor was an email sent saying the item had been shipped. I called to inquire about the tracking number but was not able to get ahold of ANYONE. The details of my dealings with the email and phone customer service echo those of the reviews prior to mine so I won't go into details there. Just know that I have left 10 voicemails and emailed 2 times and have yet to be responded to. The product I purchased has been listd in stock from the day I placed the order to todays date, 02-10-07. The price of the item has gone up dramatically, but it is still listed in stock.
The rest of this review is about how to attempt to get your money back. As of the day of this writing, I haven't received the product or my money back, nor has anyone been able to get ahold of the company to my knowledge.
First, contact your bank and file a claim against Pagecomputer. Give them the exact price amount of products ordered, the date they were ordered, and the day Pagecomputers deducted that amount from your bank account.
After that, contact the Better Business Bureau at https://odr.bbb.org/odrweb/public/GetStarted.aspx and follow the instructions for filing a complaint.
Then contact the Department of Consumer Affairs at http://consumer-affairs.co.la.ca.us/Contact.htm.
Finally, contact the District Attorney's office in Los Angeles at http://da.co.la.ca.us/feedback.htm. That page has four ways to contact them at the top. Regardless of which way you choose, make sure to put in the message that you need the Consumer Fraud Division.
In each of the aforementioned ways you must list the details of what has happened to you and make it clear that you want either your product or your money back. I would opt for the money, because I do not trust this company to even send the right product.
If any of the people asks for Pagecomputers info, give them this:
Page Computer
4665 Melrose Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90029-3342
Main Tel. #: 323-665-7777
Main Fax #: 323-660-0444
Good luck to each and everyone one of you who have been wronged by Page Computer.
Edit: I do agree that you should always be polite when dealing with any company. I also agree that you should give them a reasonable time to respond to your request for either shipping your order or giving you your money back. What is reasonable will vary from person to person, but for me not responding to my inquiries about my $1000 order after approximately 10 business days is unreasonable. According to the District Attorney's Office of LA, what happened to me and many of the other reviewers on this site IS CONSUMER FRAUD. If a company lists that a product is "In Stock" when it isn't and says the item has been shipped when it hasn't then that is misleading (which CA penal code states as consumer fraud). It does not matter that the Order department and the warehouse have poor communications or that the website is only updated every X number of days. The DA said that if the In Stock changed to out of stock within a couple days it would be a different story, however the item remained listed as In Stock for approximately 3 weeks following the purchase date. It even increased in price. If you have time to rectify the situation by waiting weeks and weeks, then by all means go for it. If, on the other hand you, you need parts within a reasonable amount of time for school, business etc., then take whatever action you can immediately to either get the product or your money back. I do not recommend you just sit by and wait for them to respond to your emails or voicemail. Get your bank involved at the very least.
Update: 02-22-07 I still have not received my money back from this company. They have not responded to my emails, and their voicemail is full at present.
Update: 03-14-07 Still no refund or contact with this company. If there is anyone out there who has any suggestions, please submit them.
