Worst Vendors Ever

Post by Genghis »

The \"Rant against Sears\" thread in E&C has inspired me to start my own rant. I've been building a new machine for the past month (yes, month). Between RMAs and vendors not sending stuff, it's taking a while. Here's some vendors I'll never buy from again:

jab-tech.com

coolgear.com (they hava a whole family of sites, e.g. usbgear.com, cablegear.com)

sears.com

So, who else has a 5hitlist of vendors? I want to know who else to avoid in the future.

Tigerdirect.com, both online and catalogue form. Their customer support sucks, their RMA system, and generally they sell stuff that fell off from the back of a truck.

On top of that, prices there are dirt cheap for a reason, you get what you pay for.
