it was better than newegg's price and since I live in TN, that other store was a FAR better deal (have to pay tax in TN for newegg stuff boo!!!)

Went ahead and ordered one - against my better judgment. Both Buy.com and ANTOnline have very subpar reseller ratings (resellerratings.com.) We'll see what happens though.

Marketplace Guarantee Claim
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buyers should receive Marketplace items in the condition that they were listed. We ask buyers to first contact the seller to give them a chance to address any issues. If the seller does not respond or if the issue is not addressed to the customer's satisfaction buyers can rely on our Buy.com Marketplace Guarantee Claim which, covers the first $750 of every purchase.
Buyers are eligible to submit a Guarantee claim if:

1 - Buyer never received the item purchased.

2 - Buyer received a different item than the one purchased.

3 - The item received was materially different than what was listed.

If a buyer and a seller are unable to amicably resolve a dispute with an order, we recommend that the buyer file a Marketplace Guarantee Claim. Please note that the Marketplace Guarantee form is only available in your My Account 30 days after your purchase date up to 60 days after the purchase date.

Buyers can submit claims from their My Account area. Once a claim has been submitted, the buyer will receive a confirmation email and the claim will be researched. Guarantee refunds will be issued to the buyer credit card used for the original purchase.

Regardless, we'll send our CC companies after them if this doesn't turn out to go our way. Worst case scenario, we get our money back. Best case? We all get what we want in the end anyways. It may be worth $100 bucks to have to fight them to get a 3060. :) Like doing a mail in rebate almost, lol.

Newegg, Chiefvalues and more..
An online reseller does not need touch any products he sells if everything goes smoothly. RMA is a different animal for some resellers (e.g. newegg), that helps them to learn what they are actually selling. Some e-retailers simply want you to send a RMA product back to manufacturer, and they know nothing about their products at all.:slapass:

Wasn't there another thread about this very thing, posted about 3 weeks ago on here? Anyway, they discussed this sham being perpetrated by ANTonline, the way they advertise a Xeon 3060 (and still have neglected to change it to 3040) for $225 and don't alert customers they're getting screwed with a lower end CPU. I personally think everyone who got stuck with a 3040 needs to give ANTonline hell until they get the part that is ADVERTISED. Otherwise it's false advertising, and they need to do more than just reimburse you the amount you paid.

At the same time, though, you guys should've known $225 for a Xeon 3060 is too good to be true.

Again the phone# I posted is the corporate office, I got this through network solutions, a little trick I picked up. All web sites like buy.com have to register their site and the information like owner, web master and phone# of their corporate office is listed. When you call this number and get the operator explain to her you have a serious consumer issue, like fraud and she will transfer you to the person that took the hell I rained on them a little while ago. Like I said they are about 30min from my house:fact:

And no they are not in India:D :fact:

Is that phone number direct to Buy.com? or Antonline?

Buy.com they share the same office, are you beginning to get the big picture:D

Excellent detective work palese. When you talked to the operations representative, did he tell you exactly what could be done about it?

He said refuse the shipment but I explained to him that was not an option as most were delivered already, he is gone to call me back with instructions on how we return them so that we are not charged with shipping. He has returned my call a couple of times already so at this point I'm sure he will call back again as I told him my next call will be the Office of the Attorney General - California Department of Justice and he also knows I am right up the road from their corporate office so if needed I will see him in person.:fact:

Batch# L629A772:(

[GPSeek]

The box::slapass:

[Bail_w]

lol ALl three of mine are L631A788

[palese]

I didn't even open the freaking box, I looked at the packing slip and seen the 3040 :slapass: Some interesting changes since I called. Well we seen them change the link to 3040 and did you notice the price, for a bit it was over 300.00 some dollars:clap: The they made it the price they charged us:eek: Well now market place is off their front page all together:slap:

So I called back at 4:30pm before I left work and talked to a Nick and he said the person I have been dealing with is he boss and one of the major players and that he is sorting the whole thing out.

So dispute the charge with your credit card if you haven't already, I think this mess really hit home with them because as I explained to this man,
if they would have simply cancelled the orders saying it was a pricing error then yes we would be upset but we would just call it a day as this is common with online buying. But they crossed the line by shipping a lesser priced item and this is the true definition of bait and switch.

I will call the Office of the Attorney General tomorrow and report this:fact:

[[XC] gomeler]

Do let us know how it goes, if I receive a 3040 then I am going to contact the various companies, see if they'll replace it with a 3060, and if that doesn't work then start calling in favors to hammer these guys. I'm just pissed that they didn't cancel the order, I had the same issue happen with Office Depot and they at least sent out an apologetic email saying they were sorry for the price mix up.

gomeler may be safe, I got a guy here where I work that has not got a ship notice yet so maybe they went ahead and cancelled any pending orders.

They already changed the order on buy.com, so i am pretty sure they made a mistake. and they are better willing to make it up for their mistakes otherwise i will make them pay for it.

I just got my brand new Xeon 3040 from Buy.com. Yum.

I'm calling their HQ right away, and then my CC company. It posted to my account sometime today. I'll keep you all posted on what is happening.

[palese]

I just got off the phone with Jeff from buy.com and he is setting up prepaid return shipping labels, I hope you all use the corporate phone number listed and voice your concerns with him. When you call the number just wait through all the phone options and then the operator will pick up, then ask for Jeff Demers.

[[XC] gomeler]

Well it was marked for "out for delivery" from 2am so I should get my box by the end of the day. Now I just have to wait and see and if all else fails then Jeff Pierce is going to have another customer on the lines.

[TSFroggy]

Firstly, I started by filing a dispute with Visa, who requires more information. I proceeded to call the number palese provided, and went to customer service, who were of no help (they told me to call ANTOnline.) So I called ANTOnline and got to their sales representative and they told me to email them so I hung up on them. THEN I called the first number back and asked firstly not to be transferred to Customer Service (which is what they did when I called the operator the first time.) I got ahold of Bernardo, who had me wait quite a while a few times. All in all, he says to try to contact ANTOnline again. I call back the ANTOnline number and immediately ask for the Sales Department manager. I'm still on hold (after 15 minutes...)

EDIT: Excellent find palese. I'll give that a shot if I give up on this phone call...

ANOTHER EDIT: After getting very short with the representative at ANTOnline, I decided to give the email a try. We'll see what happens. I included a screenshot of the item page on Buy.com, a scan of the packing slip, the original order confirmation email from Buy.com, and several lines telling them not to waste my time telling me it's their fault. If that doesn't work, I will call Jeff Demers. Once again palese thank you very much for all of your help. :)

[Bail_w]

i will not sent anything back to buy.com, because the actual seller is ANTOnline not buy.com.

[GPSeek]

i will not sent anything back to buy.com, because the actual seller is ANTOnline not buy.com.
This is a good point. :) If you send it back to buy.com, you may experience another round of trouble because it is not the actual seller.

I just made a simple request to the ANT that they either honor the order by replacing it with a Xeon 3060 or their charge is to be disputed by the CC. :rolleyes:

[palese]

Customer service is a joke and in India to boot.:eek: Let us know.



Firstly, I started by filing a dispute with Visa, who requires more information. I proceeded to call the number palese provided, and went to customer service, who were of no help (they told me to call ANTOnline.) So I called ANTOnline and got to their sales representative and they told me to email them so I hung up on them. THEN I called the first number back and asked firstly not to be transferred to Customer Service (which is what they did when I called the operator the first time.) I got ahold of Bernardo, who had me wait quite a while a few times. All in all, he says to try to contact ANTOnline again. I call back the ANTOnline number and immediately ask for the Sales Department manager. I'm still on hold (after 15 minutes...)

EDIT: Excellent find palese. I'll give that a shot if I give up on this phone call...

ANOTHER EDIT: After getting very short with the representative at ANTOnline, I decided to give the email a try. We'll see what happens. I included a screenshot of the item page on Buy.com, a scan of the packing slip, the original order confirmation email from Buy.com, and several lines telling them not to waste my time telling me it's their fault. If that doesn't work, I will call Jeff Demers. Once again palese thank you very much for all of your help. :)

This is a good point. :) If you send it back to buy.com, you may experience another round of trouble because it is not the actual seller.

I just made a simple request to the ANT that they either honor the order by replacing it with a Xeon 3060 or their charge is to be disputed by the CC. :rolleyes:

Well I excepted the RMA and it is being returned to Georgia so it is in fact going back to ANTONLINE.COM:fact:

Well i am just going to wait till the transaction appeared on my cc account, then i will file a dispute right away. afterward, i will do what my cc company asked me to do so. and i am not going to pay to ship it them if required.

I hate the way ANT handles this. They deny their mistakes. Otherwise, it would be resonable if they had offered to get it back at their cost.:slap:

Got a 3040, time to raise hell.

[pcdoc1]

I emailed and told them that if they were shipping a 3040 not to bother... I just received a shipping notice from them and tracking#, I'll bet they shipped a 3040 anyway...

This is gonna be great.....

This happend to me about month ago. I should have posted something. Took me like 17 days to get my money back, after i sent it back. I was pissed, that will be that last time i order from buy.com

That's the best way to deal with them, IMHO.

My experience is the CC company will be on your side in this situation and simply not pay them until it is satisfactorily resolved.

You guys are not getting this:slap: Buy.com and ANTOnline share the same office:fact: The RMA I received with the return shipping address is to ANTOnline.

I filed the dispute this morning. Asked them for a case number and faxed the invoice, order confirmation and the photo of the package they sent to me.

The funny thing is the credit card I used for this transcation is Buy.com Chase Visa Card. LOL:D Hope chase is still on my side:)

My CC is Chase too. I just file a dispute and they said they will mail me a dispute form which will arrive in 7-10 days.

Also they told me I need to send the item back with some kind of proof of return.

Now it's time to call Buy.com HQ.......

Where should I ship the item back to? Buy.com? Antonline?

I suggest you to call again for a case number. Then, fax all the documents to them with reference to the case number. So you don't wait for the silly form papers.:slapass:

I don't think you need to ship it back now untill you think it is going to be resolved. :nono:

[Bail_w]

First time i called citicards to fill a dispute, this guy ask me to call buy.com and return it to them with some kind of proof then i will be able to file a dispute. Then i called again, talk to another guy, filed a dispute without any return ask. finally, he told me not to open the package and keep it with me until they told me what to do next.

[TSFroggy]

I filed the dispute and faxed them over all the information I could - I faxed emails and a copy of the packing slip. I got a call today and they told me just to fax over all the information I had.

My credit card is Chase.
