I'm currently involved in a situation with this company after ordering a monitor from them. I won't go into details just yet but I wanted to ask around and find out if anyone else has had a positive, negative or neutral experience with them. Honestly, I'm hoping for lots of positive reviews and experiences.

Here's the URL for their webpage in case someone needs a refresher - http://www.mirage-mmc.com/

Thanks for your time,

VegasRobb

They go under the name "Monitormania" as well if that rings a bell for anyone.

Thanks for checking around Nohr. I could have sworn I saw them listed on Reseller Ratings someplace.

Can Resellers have their names removed from that site?

Did a little legwork and was able to dig up their Better Business Bureau report. They also do business under the name Displaysonic in addition to the ones listed in the report.

The sad thing is the only reason I even tried them was because they advertised on this site. That's what I get for not doing my homework and figuring that if they advertised here that they would be above board and respectable.

Here's the report:

Nature of Business
This company's business is providing the sales of new and used computer equipment and video hardware.

Bureau File Experience

We rate this company as having an unsatisfactory business performance record based on a pattern of complaints that cause us concern.

Complainants allege the company fails to deliver ordered products, or, that components received are delivered defective, or incompatible with their systems. Other customers complain they return merchandise, but the company fails to issue credits or refunds for the returns, and fails to respond to their inquiries on refund or order status.


The company responds to most complaints by providing credits or refunds, shipping orders, and/or exchanging non-compatible units for compatible ones. Some complaints remain unresolved, meaning the customers are not satisfied with the company's response. A few complaints are unanswered.


Be sure to carefully evaluate the company's technical assistance, servicing, and refund and exchange policies prior to ordering products. Purchasers ship computers back at their own cost and often bear the burden of time lost without a computer.


The Better Business Bureau does not endorse, recommend or disapprove of any company, product or service.

Update:

My monitor arrived and didn't work. I contacted them and tried to arrange for a replacement monitor. Each day I would call, the shipment of the replacement would get pushed back a day. This went on for a week until I called the Better Business Bureau for their area. The BBB contacted them and the next day, I received a call telling me that I would be receiving a full refund.

Of course that was supposed to happen late last week ...
