Yeah, thats cool! Only consolation is there are sometimes less leaner months than the 12 lean one's already in the year! Making it an interesting affair!

 

[bdt]

More info than was required .

Oh pish and tush! Using the definite article leaves no room for ambiguity ..well, if one knows one's way around the language at any rate. (yes, I know I'm being pedantic, but it amuses the hell out of me)

 

[Debbie]

And, in other news that's on topic [].... can we please establish if anyone has been given a refund/suitable exchange/goods yet? If you have/when you do, please be sure to let us know.

 

[LandyMan]

And to add to Debbie's post. Please also let us know when all you little b@st@rds are appearing in court as defendants

No big suprise to y'all, I'm sure, but I am still waiting for my refund/new card/an email to tell me what's happening...

*shakes head* fun and games.

Lol maybe Person is still trying to sell his 650 to free up some cash flow for the refund

 

[trapnal]

Well so far people Brian should be concerned about are (in no particular order):

- Alienware (Fraudulent claims, misrepresentation)
- SAPS (Fraud, theft)
- SARS (Fraud, VAT related misdeeds)
- BSA (Non-distribution of legit software, Business without legit)
- Microsoft (Same as above)
- OCZ (Bringing disrepute to company name by association)
- Angry mob (Yes well... incubate, Yak, myself and possibly Debbie)

Brian... seriously. Come and post or even swing me a PM. Despite everything that's happened here, I'm sure there's something we can all agree on that will lead to happiness all round.

Has anyone made any attempt to contact OCZ? Im sure a company such as themselves wouldnot want to be associated with the likes of our buddy...

Actually it was a "645i" that was "faster than the Ferrari."

This is sooooooo funny.

Person you better sort this out quick before you land yourself in jail.

 

[Juggy]

Nah! It won't affect his business at all!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

You can't affect something that doesn't exist

LOL @ JUGGY

 

[TheYak]

Sent another email to his this morning... let's see if I get a reply this time...

 

[bdt]

A quick word to give some perspective: we've (well, my buddy Stateside) got the case incubate's been pining after tracked down already. Bear in mind that I just dumped this on my buddy who, while he's also something of a hardware geek (but doesn't live in/for it like me) and doesn't do it for a living either, can find a source (we're now trying to find a better one) in something like two days.

I have to say, it makes me wonder how on earth this could've been SO badly screwed up - and for so long! I've had entire swathes of skin blasted off me by customers that, in the past , for one reason or another, felt I didn't move fast enough for them. On a related note, one learns to be thick-skinned in this biz...

 

[ap0c]

What was the exact model of the case he wanted?

 

[AntiThesis]

bdt: The difference can probably be put down to two things. 1) Your friend is actually stateside so he has more at his fingertips than we do 2) He hasn't royally screwed a whole bunch of people so that suppliers aren't likely to touch him with a barge pole.

Mr Person needs to learn about service in the states (if he is there). I ordered text books from an american supplier last week they screwed up the shipping and then had to resend it. Becuase they recognised that it was their mistake and that the books won't arrive at the promised time they sent the books over the weekend (at their cost) via DHL Express and I received it yesterday. Now that is service...
