Asgard Computers Bemidji Redux

wow. Ho-kay. so I went in there this afternoon to see if any 256mb RAM modules had come in. Nothing.

So I asked about the 512MB modules that he had offered me this morning. “Yeah, I’ve got to order those in.”

It is at this point that I tell them just to put the money back on the card. Let me explain this for everyone out there: it wasn’t the memory that I had a problem with(yet, I’ll get to that), it was the fact that we had entered into an agreement, finalized it, and terms were understood. I was to have had the memory last week on wednesday, and they were to have my business. The memory did not come last wednesday and I checked last Friday. Apparently the shipment was messed up, but they’d have it sometime this week. So I give them all week due to me being in California. I go in there today, “No…we don’t have it, I don’t know what happened, I can order one for you and have it here on Monday…” Here’s where my entire problem with the deal came in.

They broke their side of the agreement by not having the memory in. Any guttersnipe of a small business owner can have the product in on time, or better yet, have the product in WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF ORDERING IT. And yet, to make it better, they’ll up my memory to 512, and THEN order it for me? Sorry, no deal. They broke the agreement already by not ordering it correctly the first time. They think they’ll “make it square”(their words) with me if I have to wait on their incompetent ordering again? No. I made them return the money to my credit card. My business, even if it was a good deal, is better employed at other businesses, where shipping and ordering is understood as an integral part of business.

An interesting note here: I had gone in asking for PC100 memory for my old laptop. It’s probably best they- ASGARD COMPUTERS OF BEMIDJI- FAILED UTTERLY AT ORDERING. Because they ordered the wrong kind of memory. They ordered PC3200. Normally, I’m sure, that would be ok. But any speed of memory higher than PC100 is explicitly warned against by Gateway because it will cause a windows protection error.

So I ordered the correct kind of memory, only paid $20 more with shipping included, because that speed of memory is more expensive than the PC3200.

In closing, ASGARD COMPUTERS OF BEMIDJI FAILED AT ORDERING MY MEMORY. ASGARD COMPUTERS OF BEMIDJI did not order the correct kind of memory that I specified.

I am uncertain whether ASGARD COMPUTERS OF BEMIDJI IS AN UNRELIABLE BUSINESS or if this was an isolated incident.
