*** Update ***
I just received notice that a refund has been issued. I had complained through PayPal, and although PayPal said they would do nothing, apparently something got done.
*** Update ***
I ordered a PC case w/power supply. Their website described the merchandise as 'New'. It arrived, and it is obviously 'Used' and in poor condition. The case cover is slightly bent and scratched. The screws to hold the cover on are missing. The power supply is a reject, with a label on it written by a tech that says 'No Power'.
I used their online help facility to complain. They said they'd issue a CC credit in the amount $29.99, on 6/2/05. I checked this morning (6/3/05), and no credit has been issued.
I attach the online chat session here:
