...when i clicked on "Home" on the page I got a message saying "Royal Computers Is Now Miradex Corporation You Will Be Redirected In 3 Seconds Or You May Click Here" And when i looked up the same DVD player, i found the new site doesn't have "customer reviews". LOL. Guess they got tired of those people b&*^hing them out on their own site.

Absolute worst buying experience I have ever had, online or b&m!!!!!! Bought this dvd player (or at least ordered) along w/ a H+ card and paid for 2 day shipping (and their prices are outrageous).. About 1&1/2 weeks later I call to see what is up? They say dvd were on back order (thanks for the e-mail) and that they would go ahead and send H+ card.

Finally got H+(not dvd) and couldnt get drivers to work. Called customer support (or so they call it) and they directed me to tech support. EVERY SINGLE TIME I GOT TRANSFERED TO TECH SUPPORT, I GOT VOICE MAIL!! Never returned my calls. Finally I called and left a message every 10 minutes for 6 hours. Still till this day no response.

I wanted to rma this thing back, but by the time I tried every other avenue, their brief return policy had expired. They finally reimbursed my card for the dvd player. I'd rather spend $5 more from somebody that stands by what they sell. PROBABLY A REASON THEY CHANGED THEIR NAME!!??!!

Samething here!
I ordered the The Slot version and paid for second day shipping and three days later when I called they told me it was going to be shipped and 5 days.

Told him to cancel, now I'm waiting for my credit card statement to make sure they credited me..

DON'T BUY FROM THIS PLACE.......

Access Micro has the same drive for $70 + 8.95 shipping. I got 2 day shipping for $12. My Acer 10x drive has been freaking out, so I need a replacement quick. Access is fairly reputable.

How they set their shipping charges is bizarre. I paid less for this than you do for memory. And, they add shipping charges up - so it doesn't make sense to package an order together.

I bought the slot version from them...took them 2 weeks to get it to me. But I guess I was lucky in that the only time I called, the sales lady was very pleasant and helpful.

The Pioneer 16X slot loading drives are nice. They aren't too noisey and are quick. Good luck to anyone who has unfortunately bought from these guys. :disgust:


Look at this for more bi*tching about this vendor..
