Hi, I only joined PC Review yesterday and was looking for some support because of poor service from Micro Direct, however looking at all the threads it seems that there are quite a few online retailers that have poor service and especially after they have taken your money.
Surely there is something we as online buyers can do to shame these companies that don't give a damn about us. After all if it wasn't for us they wouldn't have a business. I am not computer literate enough to start a website where all the poor companies can me named and shamed but there must be someone out there who can start one. Wouldn't it be good if there was such a website that comanies DID look at and were embarassed to be included on it, somewhere where new online buyers could instantly go to, to make sure they wern't being ripped off and also could chat to people with bad experiences of these companies and who could give good on hand advice on what to do.
Like I said I am still going through a bad experience with Micro Direct, I still don't have my components, my telephone bill is £15 to the worse because of this and I have ended up paying more for the components than I would have done if I just went to my local computer shop. I am learning my lesson the hard way but if I knew this forum was here three weeks ago I would have giver Micro Direct a miss.
I have a direct line number for a manager at MD given to me by mistake, so if anyone wants to know it let me know as it saves ringing their 0870 national rate number and being kept waiting for hours. Any information anyone can provide me such as managers/directors names would be appreciated as I am not going to let this matter drop but I need some help in getting my feelings over to them.
Thanks
