TIL people still shop at Best Buy.
If you want to get fleeced but still be respected the next morning, shop Monoprice or NewEgg.
Jeez. Best Buy? Just shop like you deserve to be treated like a carpet.
Is Newegg really any better?
Back when they introduced their marketplace, I found an extremely good deal. Thinking it was too good to be true, but cheap enough to say "what the heck," I bought it anyway. Fast forward a week and I received a completely different item than what was described (no surprise, to be honest) in the listing. Naturally, I reached out to customer service for a refund because the item I received was not as advertised. To my surprise, Newegg refused to refund me the whole amount even though they acknowledged the listing was essentially a scam, so I back charged through my credit card. Then, they banned my account. I had been an avid supporter of the company and built many computers from things purchased there, up until that complete joke of a refund process.
Newegg died the day they sold out way back in the 2010s, screw that horrible customer service.
Wrong question.
Is NewEgg any worse? Too close to call.
Alright, so if those 3 are all bad, then what's the right answer here?
Micro Center! Unfortunately they can be a little hard to shop with if you don’t live near one. Their inventory for online shopping and shipping is more limited than their in-store stock.
You can still get a deal on occasion at Best Buy, but you have to be careful and you have to be ready to walk away.
I know about Best buy and Newegg but what's the deal with monoprice?
Yeah….also curious. It's been a couple of years but when I previously bought stuff from Monoprice it was a smoking deal and I'm pretty certain none of the cables I bought ever failed me.
They were my go to for a long time for good charging cables and dongles. Don't know what happened with them. I do know they got delisted from online shops.
I'll still shop there if I can use trade in credit for old tech. But I literally only spend the store credit I get back from old tech. Its usually something that's several years old and worth like $40-50, and I spend it on something I was planning to buy anyway. I've tried reselling that kind of thing on eBay. It doesn't move because nobody wants a windows 7 computer or an old pair of earbuds from 7 years ago.
