Monarch Computers....BEWARE

[Whisper]

Wow, tough to believe, especially if they're going out of business.

I never had any problems with them, but that's largely because I'd go there in person to pick up my orders. I had heard that they'd gotten fairly slopping regarding the whole shipping aspect, though, and seeing the staff there at times, I guess I could see that being the case.

Break out the pitchforks!! :evil: Its time for some MOB JUSTICE!! :laugh:

 

[Mrvile]

Damn that sucks...wonder what happened to them? I had ordered almost my entire computer from them two years ago...kinda sad.

 

[SSSnail]

Do you think Geeks.comis following closely behind?

Anyways, just a bit of update on my thread above, I finally talked to someone and was promised an RMA form in email. Haven't seen anything, and that's a few hours ago. Will update.

I've seen some posts here and there lately talking about Monarch falling off, it sounds like they are done. To bad, they once were a pretty good place to shop.

How the hell do you become so deluded that you become a blind fanboi of an online retailer?

The result of eating a lot of lead paint chips as a child?

It's about time. They've always been sh*tty with their customer support. I ordered a DC set of RAM from them once and got a bad stick. They wouldn't exchange it. And then they wanted to charge a 15% restocking fee to return it even though it was defective. :Q

Braille monitor? eating paint chips like Bigj said? refusal to see the facts?

its just one of those mysteries of life.

Hmm, way back in the day my MSI motherboard broke, I RMA'd it back to Monarch, they said it worked for them but replaced it anyway (emailing me the entire time with the progress), and I paid nothing but shipping.

Sounds like great customer service to me.

 

[ballmode]

whoa that sucks

I guess zipzoomfly/newegg are the only ones I shop from now

Wonder if we'll hear from:

"Monarch Jeremy" (Jeremy Fuergeson)
or
"MonarchChuck" (Chuck Herndon)
or
"MonarchJoe" (Joe Formanek, who has posted on here 170 times)
or
"monarchdeals" (Shawn)?

Here's a couple of recent threads that MonarchJoe has posted in, defending his company:

My friend took forever to get his DFI LanParty board although ordering ont he same day as I did. I say it's karma that bit him because my GF 7800GT got delayed 3 weeks while his got there in 1 week when we ordered virtually simultaneously on Dell.com.

But anyways, DFI took too long to ship my friend his RAM and Mobo that he got pissed. Nothing too long, something like a week and a half or so.

I bought my 3700+ San Diego the WEEKEND BEFORE the 8/1/05 price cuts for the X2 3800+ introduction. I didnt figure they would cut single core prices, but they did. My $339 purchase plummeted to $299. Since I ordered on a Friday evening, they didn't have time to ship till Monday morning. I begged them to charge me only $299, and although the guy sounded reluctant, he caved in an instant.

I was charged $339 for my processor, but a month later I got a $110 credit from them. So it's like getting my CPU for $229. Weird huh?

I can't believe how many of you don't get out of ATOT. REPOST from General Hardware!

 

[daveshel]

Wow, I am sorry to hear that. They were one of my favorite alternatives a couple years ago when newegg first jumped the shark.

 

[codeyf]

I'm still rockin' my $400 X800XT I got from them way back when. I never shopped there since, but sucks they're giving people the shaft.

 

[QuEeNyGuRl]

I bought my first computer from them about 7 years ago for college. It did it's job. Didn't know they're still in business.

 

[fbrdphreak]

It all started with my review on Monarch. I predicted it and thus it has come

Their online site had zero correlation with real-time inventory. The refund process supposedly took 30 days; maybe because their refunds person was too busy with all the other refunds? They don't care about what they fvcked up until you make public their failures. :roll:

Good riddance. Check out my ResellerRatings review under fbrdphreak
