"Web page missing for contact info. Order tracking is a dead-end. UPS has no record of package. And I suspect this outfit of swiping my personal info & credit card number. Had to shut down the bank card account within 48 hours of this on-line purchase. "

"Why are these losers still in business? What a rip off. Ripped me off for 500 dollars. Save your money. Find someone reputable to do business. Sort by reputation on this site."

"My invoice was very juvenile and had no number on it. I called them(House of Computers) back and told them the DVD drive did not fit my computer. They wanted to argue with me and tell me that it was the right drive for my laptop. I finally got a return authorization number, and sent the drive back that day. Out of my original $95.79, they were going to credit my account with $57 and change. That was last week! I sent it Express Mail on Monday, the 28th of January. I called them just now, at 5:21 PM EST, Febuary the 7th, and was told they had no record of doing any business with me. Should I have suspected a rip off when there was no number on the packing list/invoice? So far, I'm out over a $100, counting the mailing cost, and I still have no DVD drive for my laptop. So much for a bargain!"

"House Of Computers In Brea, Ca. Is a total rip off. See www.xopco.com/html/house_of_computers.html For More information on their crummy batteries. Sent out 2 batteries and both only lasted about 20 min.

Stated they tested both batteries and both lasted 120 min.

See the results of our test."

"I made a purchase for memory at this store for a Dell Latitude CP 128mb module. I received it right on time but the memory was too high to fit into the slot. I called the store up and he said it was my responsibility to make sure it was right. He said he gets his info from Dell so talk to them. He would not refund my shipping and charges a 20% restocking fee. He would not admit that it was his repsonsibilty to suppluy accurate information to his customers."

"Shipped used part and totally wrong part number. It was email hell dealing with hoct.com. Totally and blatantly dishonest. Finally just gave up. Out $75. BUYER BEWARE. DO BUSINESS WITH THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK. I wish I would have checked their Reseller Rating before I did business with them. It is so low I would never have considered it."

"Ordered IBM thinkpad battery, which was supposed to be "same specifications as original" Received battery that was first used on September of 2000 and had been recharged 166 times according to Thinkpad Battey MaxiMiser Gauge (this software comes with thinkpads). I got 30 minutes out of this battery, when the battery life as specified by IBM is 3 hours. This is CRAP! I have to pay shipping both ways because they only promise to refund the purchase price. This company is a FRAUD. DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM!

As a previous poster said, MAY YOU CHOKE ON THE MONEY YOU STOLE FROM ME!"

"This is in reference to an order I placed with House of Computers. Their ads say "Shipping - $4.00 mention pricewatch". After I placed the order, they call to say the $4 shipping will take 3-4 weeks. UPS shipping will cost $10-$13. This is bait and switch. They will charge $5 if the order is canceled.

They do this to get a higher position in Pricewatch listings. I depend on Pricewatch to give me relevant information on Vendors/prices. The behavior of this vendor reduces the value of Pricewatch to me."
