"Velocity Micro's return policy on defective products."
1.0 starson by cforbordPros: I cannot comment about any pros because the computer never worked from the first moment I hooked it up.
Cons: Return policy is unfair & unreasonable for damaged goods. Technical support does not follow-through, and has a slow response time. It can be an expensive venture of time & money if the product does not work.
Summary: The Velocity micro desktop computer I purchased on-line & had shipped to me never worked. I spent countless hours on the phone & via email with tech support. They promised to send over a local technician. After not seeing one for a week, I contacted them again. Was told no one in this area would take the job. Our community has about 175,000 people, unsure why there would be a problem finding a technician? After two weeks of endless hassles, I asked to just return the defective product. They wanted to repair it & send it back. I just wanted to be done with it, and get a refund. Was told I'd have to pay the return shipping ($38), and was getting dinged a 15% restocking fee. On a well-documented defective product? I even talked to a higher up in the company about the unfairness of this policy, and was told the same thing. I just want to warn customers so they will be aware of this business policy by this company.

Was it defective or damaged? There's a huge difference, and don't forget all of the snow the south has gotten this year has been tough for the whole east coast. My experience with VM was exceptionally good! Perhaps you could have shipped it back in the first place.

I think they should have the right to fix the thing before you return it. They spend a ton of time building a custom system, and you know it doesn't ship out broken. When you buy a car, the dealer gets to fix the problems without returning it.
