Talk about a rip off!!!
Talk about a rip off!!!
On the 12th of January I ordered a 2gig kit of Ballistix Tracers from Newegg. Got it a few days later and immediately installed it in my brand new system I had been waiting to build once I got home. One problem after another with stability even at stock speeds. So I call crucial and they tell me to RMA it. So I PAY to mail it to them and wait for them to mail me a new kit. The new kit arrives about a week or so later, I open it up and its the YELLOW RAM! Yeah, wrong damn stuff. So before I a gasket I call them. They return my call a day later and tell me it was an error, then they tell me they have discontinued the kit. The customer service guy then tells me they can give me an in store credit if I would like!?!?! OMG!!! So I go off on the guy, cuz the stuff they sent me is about a hundred dollars less then what I bought and now I have passed my 30 day period so I cant even get my money back from Newegg!!!!!! Im waiting for a call back but it doesnt look pretty, Im sooooo fricking PISSED!!!!!!
Wow that sucks...you should have dealt with NewEgg first unless it said call manufacturer first. The Egg's support (AFAIK) is better than any RAM maker's...

That's total bullsh1t.....I've heard that Crucial have discontinued that ram because of the probs with it.......Apop mentioned to me the newer sticks were not as good as the early batches either.
I can't remeber where I read it, but Crucial / Micron were still making them but only for RMA's etc.
That ram is about the only good thing Crucial have @ the moment, so giving you store credit is useless..
I know your were waiting for this stuff to get "Da rig" up and running.....this is total bull.......
I wouldn't stand for it....keep pestering them....find a name of someone high-up in Crucial and Micron and start spamming them everyday.....keep pestering them until you get what you paid for...
Even forward a link to this thread and advise them this thread will be the first of many, the'll soon give in! (hopefully)

you could always try sending http://www.notgoodenough.com a message explaining your situation, they cover everything, and companies NEVER want thier name on this website and will do anything to get it off. lol.
my brother got a few things solved with major companies by going about it this way, ONLY if they wont give you a fair go.
Either way have a think about it and goodluck.

Grunt...
You are a long time supporter of Legit Reviews and you know we go out of our way to back our readers up. Please e-mail me your sales info from newegg and I'll contact Crucial tomorrow and see if I can get something worked out. No promises, but I'll see what I can do. If the IC's are EOL and gone then there is nothing that can be done. It happens to all the memory companies OCZ, Corsair, Crucial, Kingston all of them... They warranty with an equal or exact part when it come to ratings not overclocking abilities... which sucks for us enthusiasts.

Yep, I'm one of them. Sent tampered hardware device that cost me $460 and they still have not taken care of the situation. I might need to get my credit card company to get involved with this one since I'm about ready to call this fraud. My patience is wearing thin. No matter what NE does now-good or bad, they are no longer getting my business.DeusEx wrote:is it me or are we hearing from more and more unsatisfied customers from new egg ?

I hope NewEgg isn't going down the drain....I love that place. I recommend it to ANYONE buying PC parts or building a PC, just the other day I made a list for a friend of what parts she would want on an $800 budget and sent her to NewEgg...

I received my device and this time it's definitely not a tampered device. Newegg is paying for the shipment of the device back to them. And they sent me the new device using next day shipment with Fed Ex. Today was the first day that I finally can capture my family's old Hi8 video in top-notch quality. That video was 8 years old and the color is still good - which it should be I got the Canopus ADVC300.Tim Burton wrote:Keep us up to date about it.pointreyes wrote:Actually I did.

BTW: The night before I contacted newegg with my third attempt I did post a review of what happened to me on resellerratings. I'm not sure if the phone call plus the rating I provided was the reason for the quicker reaction buy I'm relieved that I was able to get this resolved without having to go through my credit card company. I was really getting concerned over this matter considering that I purchased this device on 2-2-2006.
