However, after I had owned it for a few weeks, I discovered a serious problem: one of my drives was permanently stuck in the \u0022hotswap\u0022 drive bay.<br><br>I contacted PC-Pitstop and made my fatal error: instead of demanding a refund for the defective product, I asked \u0022how can we work together to solve this problem?\u0022<br><br>I sent a series of emails back and forth with their technical staff for a few weeks, and in hindsight, I should have realized that they were stalling for time. For, you see, even though the original email was sent within their 30 Day Return policy, I did not specifically ask for a refund at that time.<br><br>Eventually, the technical staff recommended that I PURCHASE a replacement part to fix the problem - this was the last straw for me - so I told them that I was done trying to work out the problem and that I just wanted to return it for a refund. I was given an RMA # and I returned the product.<br><br>About six weeks later, I received a notification from my credit card company saying that since I had not returned the product, they would not honor the disputed charge. After a series of angry phone calls, it turned out that they HAD received the returned product - it must have been sitting on their loading dock for a month. Here\u0027s what Paul Haley, President of PC Pitstop, wrote in response to the chargeback:<br><br>\u0022 If we get the unit back, we will refund him the 399.00 minus 15% restocking fee because he wants to return the product outside of the 30 day return window. We did not have to accept the return but we are doing so to be \u0022nice\u0022. \u0022<br><br>After much discussion with a dispute specialist at my credit card company, it turns out that Paul Haley is \u0022right.\u0022 Even though I started trying to resolve the problem WITHIN the 30 day return window, since I did not specifically ask for a refund in my original email, I have no recourse whatsoever at this time. All PC Pitstop had to do was drag out the emails beyond the 30 day window, and then suggest I PURCHASE something to fix their defect - and as far as the credit card company is concerned, they honored their policies and I can no longer dispute any part of the charge.<br><br>Live and learn, learn to never purchase anything from PC-Pitstop again.","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/PC_Pitstop\/review\/615040#comment615040","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/PC_Pitstop.jpg","store_name":"PC Pitstop","username":"nhbiffy","rating":"1"}, "single");){kind=link}

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"I ordered a SCSI terminator. Tiny little thing, can\u0027t weigh more than an ounce. The price was $17. What shocked me was that the shipping on this tiny thing, which arrived in a lightweight box about 3\u0022x3\u0022x5\u0022, was over $8! (That was for FedEx Ground, the cheapest option available.) I don\u0027t necessarily have a problem with the price of the item itself, but I felt a little ripped off by the shipping charge.","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/PC_Pitstop\/review\/336031#comment336031","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/PC_Pitstop.jpg","store_name":"PC Pitstop","username":"mhill34831","rating":"4"}, "single");){kind=link}

I came to PC Pitstop after a really bad experience ordering a similar product from cooldrives.com which came defective.

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"Working with PC Pitstop was not a good experience.<br><br>I purchased a SCSI hard-drive enclosure. Defective parts were used in the internal cable assembly (runs from the drives to the back panel of the enclosure) included with the product. A connector on this cable assy. failed during while I was testing the external cable connection the first time. When I unscrewed the external cable\u0027s thumb screws, both both attachment hex nuts on the internal cable came out with them. These nuts are supposed to stay, tight in the enclosure\u0027s back panel.<br><br>This forced me to repair the internal cable\u0027s connector in order to be able to reconnect the external cable running to the PC. Upon reassembly, the hex nut, fasteners holding the internal cable connector broke. I compared the broken hex nut fastener to a similar part pulled from an old laptop PC and it\u0027s clear, the part which broke was defective in that the hole for the thumbscrew was drilled too deep. This was not a case of the user over-torquing or over-tightening these nuts.<br><br>PC Pitstop refused to repair or replace the internal cable. They refused to even replace the defective nuts. The explanation was that the SCSI cable was not covered by the warranty because the user attempted to repair it and that it did not have replacement hex nuts available.<br><br>Now, I\u0027m stuck with a brand new $99 SCSI enclosure which won\u0027t work.<br><br>In my opinion, PC Pitstop\u0027s service and support leave much to be desired. I will not consider it for future purchases.

"I've been using their products for years. They are definitely my "go-to" vendor of choice for software to solve technical issues and increase performance. I'm currently using PC Matic and it works just as advertized. More importantly, the Technical Support that they provide is by far the best on the web; they react to all support requests extremely quickly and professionally.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
