Bad products bad service Evidently this merchant's customer service has gone to the dogs. I ordered 2 system pull hard drives from them and both of them cashed out in less than a month. The real problem occurred when I tried to get a refund. They said that one of the drives was in fine shape (when it would'nt even allow the system to boot when the drive was installed). Their customer service was a horror, since they tried to get me to close a Paypal dispute I had filed over the matter. Fortunately I then filed a claim with Paypal. Such cheesy and poor customer service should be punished, mainly by staying away from this vendor, which I intend to do.

I Love 3BTech! Well I found 3BTech many years ago when I was looking for hard drives I think threw PriceWatch.com but any way I have shopped with 3BTech off & on now many years. I have had a few issues but all but one they worked out with me. The one they didn't was a bad CPU I got with a motherboard combo I bought from them when I lived in Las Vegas but other then that I have had no problems with them. I just don't buy motherboard combos anymore lol problem solved. 3BTech has good customer service though, and if you have questions most times they are nice enough to answer them & offer suggestions. Never had any regrets from the items I buy from them now like Power Supplies, Hard Drives, PC Cases, and accessories. If you want a great place to shop that offers free shipping on all items this is your best bet!

Will not answer request for RMA, sends broken stuff, avoid at all costs! ORDER #3btech-696904 I had an experience of the worst kind with 3b tech. I ordered a motherboard (refurbished) at a great price. It got here in fairly good time, but that is when the trouble started. Motherboard does not work. Tried everything, and no dice. Here is where 3btech totally failed me. I wrote 3 times to 3b tech to obtain an RMA number, and guess how many times they responded. ZERO. These jerks just totally ignored all the RMA requests which come from the RMA form on their website. I'd stick with newegg or a company that actually takes care of you if there is a problem. 3btech sucks and will not do that. Now I'm out the cost of the motherboard, and have an expensive paper weight!

Good price - Bad products I had bought a Socket 462 motherboard from them (About a year ago) and was sent a bad board (board wouldn't work right when installing winXP). Anyways, they sent me another board, this one sort of worked, except for that capacitors were on the verge of blowing/leaking when I got it (they were bulging), so I asked for them to test it, they said nothing was wrong with it and returned it to me). The board also had other issues, and frankly it's like 3BTech either didn't test the board, or didn't test it throughly enough, so it's now a wasted $25 investment (a small amount, but still angers me). Most of their stuff is used, even if it is advertised as NEW. I'd be concerned with that alone (false advertising).

Very good communication and customer service Ordered 320 GB Seagate hard drive. Shipping and delivery was quick. Drive was noisy and not working properly. Seagate diagnostic tools confirmed that drive is faulty. Emailed 3bTech on Saturday. Received response early in the morning on Monday that they will re-ship another, tested, drive. They didn't even want broken drive back to save me on shipping costs. Received replacement drive next Saturday. Drive works very well. I'm impressed with their response time and customer service. I've purchased couple of hard drives from them in the past year or so and never had problem with them. Thank you Jan
