4/5

posted Jul-28-2006
[edit Aug. 18, 2006]: Well I finally received my refund back, about a month after this whole ordeal started. I guess Meritline did keep their word, but I really don't think I want to go through a hassle like this the next time I make a computer purchase.
Ok, this company is basically a joke. Let me just take you step by step of what happened:
- I ordered a 1200 CD/DVD case off their site
- When I received it, it was the exact same size/shape as their 1000 CD/DVD case that I had purchased earlier, and into which 1000 DVD's fit snugly. There's no way 200 more were going to fit.
- I e-mailed support about this and was basically ignored.
- After posting my review on this website, they got in touch with me immediately about this order and the problems I had, which I thought was definitely a step in the right direction for this company.
- Eventually they told me that they would credit back my credit card for the difference in price between the 1200 and 1000 dvd models. Fantastic! Then they asked that I take down my negative review here. I agreed.
- Over a week later, and still no credit card refund.
You know that old saying, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Well shame on me for thinking this was a reputable company. I am NEVER going to shop here again, and I will make sure to spread the word about this shady company.
