COMPUTER EXPO RIPPED ME OFF!
Sidewinder
I bought a computer at COMPUTER EXPO in Houston txs at
the westhimer location and they did not build it right. They did
not put the LED readout in the front of the case and they did
not put in the sound blaster sound card that I ordered.They bent
the printer port when they installed it and I could not hook up
my printer. The lockout was not hooked up,and to top it all off
they gave me the wrong speakers and it almost took an act of
congress to get the right ones. When I brought this to the
general managers attention he would not do nothing about it.
and as for the sound card he said he did not have to replace it
because I signed for what I got. If anyone should decide to
do business with COMPUTER EXPO. Do yourself a favor
and call the Houston area office of the BETTER BUSINESS
BUREAU and listen to the not so good reports that I've listened
to. Im sure you will be very impressed at the way they have been
able to stay in business after so many negative reports have been
filed against them. The reports say they have had a history of not
satisfying the customer and taking care of problems. Now I know why
since they did me the same way.Any comments are very welcome.
By the way if anyone has an LED readout that will fit the front of my
comouter case please let me know. Thanks.

Bob, I think we all get the point. Would you please stop
posting this message every week? Computer Expo sucks, we all
know it. Anyone can see when you walk in the store that it is
run like a fly-by-night outfit.

I happen to think it is very important. My friend's parents
recently got ripped off (they did not consult me) when they
purchased some bad RAM. They took it back about 4 times.
They took the bad RAM and repackaged it and put it back on the
shelf. They sell used RAM as new.
He finally stopped getting the error messages at bootup, only to
find that they have shut off the himem check in the config.sys
so he would not complain anymore , thinking he would not notice.
There are new people lurking this group every day and Computer Expo
does not deserve to be in business.
We need to do as much damage as possible.

Keep your statements to statements of fact. They are a business and
their pockets are deeper than yours. If you are not careful you could
end up being sued for a pile o' cash.
They refused to exchange my 486-120 mother board and took my machine
to "look at the problem". After telling me that it would be ready 3
times and it wasn't (after a 45 minute drive each way), I finally went
back into the workroom to discover that it had not even been opened.
They put in a 100 mhz board-- called it an UPGRADE (and charged me
$35) and then also charged me 35 more to put the board in. All I
wanted was an exchange for another 120mhz board which my invoice said
was their policy. I and my friends will NEVER EVER shop at COMPUTER
EXPO again as a result of these lies which wasted my time and the
unfair $70 charge after their refusal to honor their own exchange
policy.
If You are considering purchasing anything from COMPUTER EXPO, I urge
you to contact the BBB and check out their customer complaint file.
You might change your mind.
