Tech For Less Disappointing Experience with Tech For Less: Delayed Delivery and Poor Customer Service

I ordered from Tech For Less a month ago and I'm still waiting for my package. I tried contacting the seller but I haven't received any response yet. It's really frustrating because I was really excited to receive my order. I'm now trying to get a refund from the seller but it's been a hassle. I hope they can resolve this issue soon because I don't want to waste my money on something I never received.

Tech For Less Disappointing Delivery Experience with Tech For Less: Delayed and Using FedEx to Save Money

So, I ordered some tech stuff from Tech For Less, and I gotta say, the delivery situation was a bit of a bummer. Supposed to get my goodies last Thursday, but now it's pushed back to next Monday. And get this, the vendor is all about using FedEx to save some cash. I mean, I get it, but come on, man. I just want my stuff. Hopefully, it'll be worth the wait.

Tech For Less Tech For Less Review: Poor Quality and Customer Service

Tech For Less is a website that I recently came across and I must say, it's not the best. I ordered a product from them and when it arrived, it was damaged. It was a total waste of my time and money. I had to go through the hassle of submitting an insurance claim just to be reimbursed. It was a real pain in the neck. I don't recommend this site to anyone.

Tech For Less Tech For Less Review: Hidden Restocking Fee and Poor Customer Service

with this company's lack of transparency. I ordered a laptop from Tech For Less and unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations. When I tried to return it, I was shocked to find out that they charge a 20% restocking fee. This was not mentioned anywhere on their website or during the checkout process. I feel like I was misled and it's not fair to charge such a high fee for a return.

On the positive side, their website is easy to navigate and they have a wide selection of products. I was able to find the laptop I wanted at a lower price than other retailers. However, the hidden restocking fee has left a bad taste in my mouth and I will not be ordering from them again.

I also had some issues with their customer service. When I called to inquire about the return process, the representative I spoke with was not very helpful. They seemed annoyed with my questions and didn't offer any solutions. It was frustrating to deal with and made the whole experience even worse.

Overall, I would not recommend Tech For Less. While they may have good prices, the hidden restocking fee and poor customer service make it not worth the risk. Stick with Amazon or Pay Pal for your online shopping needs.

30 Day return starts when you purchase the item, not delivery. I bought a tv from this company that arrived with a crack, but because of delays in shipping I was not able to find this out till after my 30 days was complete because this starts when on the date of your invoice and not on date of pickup. My wife had to receive the order and was not able to...

Tech For Less online sales

TECH FOR LESS order number TL1242903 10 nov 2010 ipod MC008LL/A (Open Box) Apple iPod touch - Digital player - 3rd Generation - Multitouch - WiFi - Flash 32 GB - AAC, MP3 - Video playback - 3.5-inch Display - Polished aluminum

tech for less offer internation shipping all over the world, but as i discovered after going through the whole process of creating an order entering my personal details, visa card details etc and creating payment, then receiving confirmation of order details emails etc etc that the order #TL1242903 was then being cancelled because i used a non U.S. issued card ( NZ Visa)! how is anybody from any of those countries listed supposed to know this if its not stated ?
they`re cancellation of order email does however say that i can pay by wire transfer, which is both expensive and the prefered payment means of SCAM sites, or use PAYPAL on their e bay site, ( the PAYPAL option is not available outside the U.S. on their website ! )but the item is "refurbished" and not "open box" as per my original order. !
i tried to contact their customer support but because my order number has been wiped its not possible.
Tech for less needs to address these issues, and not treat customers in this manner .

Better customer service from eBay? eBay is a platform, not a supplier. As to customer service, it would depend on the reliability of the actual supplier, which may not be easy to determine from the eBay site. Similarly, Ashley M seems confused as to warranties. The 1 yr. warranty purchased will be supplied by a third party. This will be in the nature of an extended warranty: only applicable once the supplier 90-day warranty has expired. Since Tech-for-less has a simple on-line complaint procedure, I would suggest that this would be the obvious first step to take.

I can never get through to customer service. I very unhappy with my purchase which was a Toshiba Satelite Laptop; Open Box. I thought I was getting a great deal and making a better purchase but I should have went with purchasing the laptop on eBay. Atleast I would have gotten better customer service. I wish I would have saw this website before I made my purchase. I purchased a 1 yr warranty as well so they WILL be giving me a working laptop or I will have to escalate this complaint further!

Samsung only give a 90 day warranty on refurbs. If the product fails, logic would suggest that you should blame the manufacturer rather than the supplier. Failures are generally just a matter of luck. Personally I have had better experiences with refurbs than with new - at least with a refurb, some techie will have checked that it works properly when supplied, whereas with new products the customer is the test bed.

This is a low rent company. Do yourself a huge favor and just buy new. I bought a Samsung Blue Ray Player and it broke right around day 90. No power to the unit at all. I have never had a new player subsequently break on me like this. I have several standard DVD players that are over 10 years old. Just buy new on a site like Amazon and sleep well at night. $65 lesson learned. Leave the Refurbs alone! Let Tech for Less sell to some other sucker next time!

Tech for Less sell mainly clearance, refurb or scratch & dent products. The damages on scratch & dent products are clearly itemized, often with pictures, via a specific link for each product. The term "functional but may have physical damage" is generic, suggesting that Milo_S failed to check the specific damage on what he was buying.

The website states "Many products are from overstock and liquidation ... quantity is limited ...". So if mcapen had bothered to read the site info, he should not have been surprised that the product could not be replaced with an identical item. The tone of his complaint might suggest that he was less than polite to the customer service person he claims was rude. Certainly if he was on hold for 45 minutes as claimed, that would not be surprising - personally I would never hold for that long.

I have no connection with Tech for Less, other than as a satisfied customer. I have purchased dozens of items from them, receiving prompt friendly service for the few that have been defective. Obviously they cannot test every product before dispatch and the nature of the products offered makes it fairly obvious that there will be a higher number of defective items than with a regular supplier of current stock. This is why they are cheaper than regular suppliers.

They are horrible, sent me monitor advertised as "functional, but may have physical damage" the monitor arrived and let me tell you, hald the screen is black. I do NOT consider that functional, not to mention it looked liek the box was opened and sealed back up 10 times. When I called to complain they told me I will pay 20% restocking fee and shipping both ways, and I guarantee you they will sell it to the next unsuspecting person. I think that's how they make their money, by selling and reselling broken items and banking off of restocking fees. What a bunch of croocks, somebody in law enforcement really needs to look into these guys and shut them down for good.

In this economy, this company's business move was bad. But buyer beware. I could have called the credit card company and wasted my time there, but I was apprehensive about the product quality since they did not advise you of this issue when purchasing the product. Stupid policy & stupid move, which wasted my time. I will never buy from them.
