[SCAM][Amazon] Corsair DOMINATOR GT 12GB (3 x 4GB) PC3-16000 2000 DDR3 - $45.18 !!!

[lazarus000]

so 2 items get switched up the same way in the same week AND they don't fix them until AFTER all the items are shipped and we aren't supposed to be suspicious?

I don't think we are the 'ignoramuses'


I hope everyone returns the item and report them to the max so they get kicked off amazon. Fraud or and insane level of incompetence ... doesn't make all the much difference imo.

This seller has received 4,384 feedbacks in the last 30 days. If my own experiences selling on Amazon are any indication, they're likely moving at least 10,000 items per month through Amazon alone. They're selling on other sites as well. That's a big operation.

You guys really don't have much of an idea of what an operation like that entails. A few errors in one database can result in mistakes like this and can take a day or two to fix even for an entirely competent seller. This seller is obviously not entirely competent, so no, a week delay in correcting the mistake isn't surprising.

Add to that the childish nerd rage and pointless messages like HeianJodan's, and it just takes longer to clear the air. And yes, lazarus, there is a difference between ill intent and incompetence, at least according to laws in the US.

If you were not one of us that was effected by this deal, your "objective opinion" is worthless.

In addition, the point of my messages was to provide assurance that a working process was in place to refund our money. Had you been one of us that was effected by this you may have understood that.

I ordered a kit on the off chance that it was a pricing error rather than inventory error.

Your messages were pointless wastes of time. "Blah blah blah, if you send me the wrong product I'll try to return it and if you mess with me I'll turn it over to Amazon." ...Yeah, well, no shit? Save your breath and your time. Amazon makes their A-z guarantee perfectly clear - you don't need any 'further assurances' from any third party seller on their site.

Nothing but a lot of nerd rage that your gamble on exploiting an obvious error didn't pan out and now *gasp* you're going to be inconvenienced!

Do you know what are you talking about, buddy? How can they read the orders from RAM into NINJA? You tell me? Don't tell me that their employees don't even read English?

As are yours, unless your point is just to troll in which case thanks for playing. Rage? lawl

Do you know what are you talking about, buddy? How can they read the orders from RAM into NINJA? You tell me? Don't tell me that their employees don't even read English?

Do you know how databases even work? I'll make this as simple as possible:

Amazon's listing for DDR3 kit #1 is assigned number 01 in their database.
Amazon's listing for DDR3 kit #2 is assigned number 02 in their database.
Amazon's database 01 is assigned 01 in the Price Pros database. The item description likely isn't even transferred.
Amazon's database 02 is assigned 02 in the Price Pros database. The item description likely isn't even transferred.
Price Pros database 01 is entered (mistakenly) as a ninja costume, not RAM.
Price Pros database 02 is entered (mistakenly) as a Twister costume, not RAM.

The person filling the orders doesn't see you're ordering DDR3 kits from Amazon, they're seeing you ordered items 01 and 02 in their database. Those items are costumes. Why do you think two very similar kits of RAM were switched with with something else? They're probably right by each other in Price Pros' inventory database.

When I get my order, if the inventory/packing slip says RAM on it, I will change my signature pointing to this thread so everyone who cares can see how wrong I was and laugh at my expense. If it says costume, then you all learned something.

 

[HeianJodan]

the return label follows within 24 hours (I've gotten both of mine)

I received my confirmation from FedEx Email/Online Label. Did you have to call them to correct the "SHIPPING DETAILS" or did you just send it as is with what they sent even though the Product value says the ram and not the costume?

So to the people that got a ninja costume, what did your invoice in the box state?

it doesn't make much difference TO THE PEOPLE on this board getting the wrong stuff, which is really the point.

and if you don't care then why are you still posting in the thread? Enjoy your costume and leave the rest of us alone.

and shove your up your #)#(@ )@#(

What I've seen happen is the seller uploads a list of items to Amazon or whatever, and some ID like the UPC number is used to reference what the item is and pull up a description and images from a manufacturer database.

This screw up is frequent enough Amazon has a correction link on all the item pages. I just ordered an item listed as a 4 pack and got a single item instead. Only option is keep it, or return for refund, which in my case wasn't practical.

 

[bryanW1995]

I don't get why everybody is so worked up about all of this.

Guys, when you get your ninja costumes, put them on, go to the warehouse, and recon some quality ddr3 ram. Win-win!

I sent it back as it was--but I keet the original packing slips that read "ninja costume" and "twister deluxe." I don't know if PP was playing tricks sending people ninja costumes, then putting RAM kit on the return shipping label, so they could claim the buyers did not return the right merchandise, and therefor, could not be refunded. We'll see.

You would need a BIOS update too.

This all makes sense, of course, but, at the time, what set me off were the complaints on the BBB website, where people were describing situations not unlike what was happening here.

another strange thing is I returned my package last Thur (with online tracking), but PP continued to "remind" me via email DAILY that I have not returned the package, even after I emailed them back to tell them that I had indeed returned the package. Don't know what kind of peolea are running this place!

It should make a bit of difference to the people, because it's the difference between a seller trying to screw you out of your money and running, or a company who legitimately messed up and will refund you as soon as they can. I would think the people would like to know if they should expect their money back or not... wouldn't you?

 

[Destiny]

Hmmm... it looks like the Price Pros is not too far from where I live... anyone willing to "Lend" me their Ninja costumes to do some recon for them ? :whiste:

It's Amazon. You're not going to get screwed. The only question is how much of a hassle getting your refund will be. - painless or vaguely annoying. I already have mine; got the cancellation email earlier today.

Unfortunately some people like getting angry on the internet when they have no idea what they're getting angry about. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

[HeianJodan]

Perfect thanks for the info Lazarus000!

I called them today as well and confirmed they would process the return even with the product info on the return saying that it is RAM.

 

[damtachoa]

It's great to hear that @lazarus000.

I'm going crazy with this seller, Price Pros. We ordered RAM. They shipped Ninja. When they asked for return, They want RAM. Is that funny? Look like this seller drinks a lot of beers.

 

[Mike64]

Hmmm... it looks like the Price Pros is not too far from where I live... anyone willing to "Lend" me their Ninja costumes to do some recon for them ? :whiste:

ROFLMAO

I might even pay money to see a video of their reaction to someone in a ninja costume just walking into their offices demanding a refund!
