I wouldn’t purchase microsoft 70-536 from quickcert, if i have not been promised that, quickcert courses are working for absolutely newbie.
All book and courses i come across do require minimum of 2 (two) years of experience programming (c#, vb ...).
I did some research what i need to take mcts 70-536 exam, .net framework application development foundation. i already have some books and all stated at the beginning you need 2 years of experience to be able to use this material.
I was looking for something that will work for me, since i did not have c#, c, c++, java, vb or other developing/ programming experience.
The sales person, st. van g., from quickcert did assure me, after consulting with and expert, they have the right product for me. i was skeptical. since i already own the microsoftpress book and 2 others.
He consulted back several time and like he put it “i am going to ask if this course is for a person who is in different career and is looking to get into .net framework and take 70-536 exam” .
First he promise me 1 free course, that according to him and quickcert experts should be a preparation for been able to use 70-536 course.
I was not convinced, so he give me a 2 second free suppose to be the very basic of what i need it to get ready to use 70-536, which i will buy.

Well i believed mr. st. van g., i did pay, unfortunately, for :
1. microsoft 70-536 ts: microsoft .net framework - application development foundation c#
2. microsoft 70-502 .net framework 3.5 - windows presentation foundation - c#
And, i he let me 2 free lessons that suppose to be a stepping ground to go into mcts 70-536 exam., here there are :
Core foundations of microsoft .net 2.0 development - c# - this is the same like microsoft 70-536 i paid for, but just the older version .net 2.0 . the first 3 to 5 module are word for word the same. may be the same after that.
Microsoft introduction to microsoft .net - is nothing but a sales pitch on all possible certification you can get, but nothing to build up your knowledge on c# so you can use 70-536 .

I made several purchases on Jan. 20th and 21st for computer software/downloads. I have been charged for these products and downloads but have not been able to download anything at all, at any time since. I have paid in over $4oo so far. I have called Microsoft, Digital River, and orderfind.com. EACH and ALL has told me they have NO RECORD of my purchases yet they ACKNOWLEDGE billing me. My bank has given me all transaction information which shows each. debit to my account. They all come from Microsoft/Digital River/orderfind.com.
AGAIN!, EACH OF THESE COMPANIES HAS TOLD ME VERY EXPLICITLY THAT I AM THE ONE IN THE WRONG AND NONE OF THEM HAS ANY RECORDS OF MY NAME, EMAIL, DEBIT CARD NUMBER OR ANYTHING!HOW in the world is that possible?!?!
I wanted Microsoft home and student 2007, a Professional upgrade, I converted a trial period into a full purchase, I HAVE RECIEVED NONE OF THESE SERVICES OR PRODUCTS! I WANT MY $400 BACK! The bank is investigating as well, they see very obviously!, charges. This is disgustingly obnoxious fraud! You lied to me AS YOU ACKNOWLEDGE me, then tell me Im wrong, Im out the money, and conveniently enough, there's no record, EVER, of any purchase! I am filing charges with the bank, on my own, and notifying several agencies. Bill Gates doesn't need my paltry dollars! Give them back, Ill purchase elsewhere!

I purchased a Toshiba laptop from the Microsoft store online on 1-1-10. Delivery was scheduled for 1-8-10. Microsoft hired UPS to deliver the computer. The computer was delivered to someone else, and the someone else who signed for it denied receiving the computer. Microsoft, from the first to the third phone call has done nothing but jerk me around. It refuses to refund me my money or send out another computer. I would not advise anyone to purchase anything from them. I have had much better luck with high price purchases at places like Amazon and BuyDig.

I am out the money and have no computer to show for it. The customer service people act like they are in India or some faraway place and do not care. Be careful when making high end purchases from Microsoft.

They had a good deal on the Toshiba laptop, but now that good deal seems too good to be true. I would rather have paid more than to have this hassle. They (Microsoft) is anything but consumer friendly.

I placed an order - 9724324 with Micosoft store on Dec 24 2009 but due to some issue in authorization they said to call them back on Monday the Dec 28 when the Authorization deppt is open to process the order
The Call reference number is -[protected] with Microsoft store associate.
But the associate on Monday suggested me to place the new order at the same price as was earlier. He took the new order -9831194 with the price of $749.25.However the deal was over by that time but he helped me to place the new order at the old price because
Later on when my confirmed the status of my new order i was told that the new order can't be processed because the price was changed to
$999.00 when the new order was placed.
They agreed it was their mistake but said they cann't help.

I think i have been cheated. Because of this i did n't order any other deals available to me.and now they are asking me to pay extra $250.

I raised this concern to them through email(ref nbr-[protected]) also but i am getting no response from them.

In september 2008 i canceled my xbox live membership of £4.99 a month. Today i checked my balanced and i found that they were taking £4.99 a month out each month still so i called them up and they said that i never called up (when i did) and it never got canceled. So they said that theres no way i can get a refune because they have no record of my call, but i said why would i not call up and still let the payments go out every month when i don't have an xbox anymore, they said i must of forgot to call up, but i know i called up. This is robbery and not fair.

Thought I was purchasing software for the new 2007 edition of Office for Home & Student. The download will not work properly and I cannot get anyone to respond to my email. There is no phone number either. I would like a refund on my Mastercard. Evidently, this is all a scam! I am very upset and frustrated by the whole purchase.

It says on my printout that the payment was for: esoftwaremall - receipt # [protected]

I have not heard from customer service at all at Alberta LTD.
