3gsore.com 3gstore.com a costly place to do business! Cary Illinois

The tone and construction of your rebuttal only serves to elevate my original statement to that of absolute fact. You walked right in and completely legitimized my complaint. Thank you! Firstly, concerning the last purchase I made from your company, the 3gstore.com, I assumed my purchase would be private. Unfortunately, you have chosen to publish my name and state of residence in your rebuttal violating your own privacy policy("Customer information, whether public or private, will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other company for any reason whatsoever, without the consent of the customer.") instead of focusing on the complaint itself. This violation is most grievous and clearly displays a sense of malice and poor judgement. Your stupidity is now published here, plain as day, for all to see... including attorneys who monitor this site. I must say that was pretty Lo of you. That is your name isn't it? Ray Lo of Illinois? Owner of the 3gstore.com. Since you have chosen to basically call me a liar and violate my privacy I feel strongly compelled to shed the light of truth on some cold hard facts which you have tried to bury. Don't bother changing your privacy policy on your website it has already been copied. OK dude, listen up, it's time to go to school. After the router failed(Pepwave surf SOHO) and I received an RMA from your company via email I meticulously repackaged the router and sent it back 2day air(FedEx $22.90) to stay within your 30 day return guidelines. Upon receipt of the router your company(3gstore.com) sent me an email stating that I was going to either be charged a 20% re-stocking fee on returned defective equipment or I could opt to send an ethernet cable back to you to receive a full refund of the purchase price of the router. A very petty way to try to make $30.00 on the back of a customer who is already frustrated by equipment failure. Equipment your company(3gstore.com) sold me! By your own admission in your rebuttal on this site you stated an I quote "We decided to give him a full refund for the item he purchased (which we would have anyways as it was only an ethernet cable and this was his 4th purchase with us)." end quote. Now that your exposed, Mr. Ray Lo,.... it's "only an ethernet cable." Oh what a difference a complaint makes! Yet, in your email, you wanted 20% of the $149.99 that you originally charged me or return an ethernet cable I didn't have. A shameful example of how you treat repeat customers I say. In any case, that basically equals a $30.00 re-stocking fee to return defective gear with a supposedly missing ethernet cable! Here is a copy of your email attempt to rip me off. And yeah, I reported you to the Better Business Bureau. Rightfully so I might add. _________________________________________________________________________________ 3Gstore.com Order Number: 146687 Detailed Invoice: [URL removed] Date Ordered: Monday 31 August, 2015 The comments for your order are: Dear Sir, In processing your return, the Ethernet Cable was not included in the box with device.

Consequently, in your subsequent failure analysis you were not testing the router in the configuration in which it initially failed/crashed. I reset the unit back to factory settings to protect my privacy which you have already violated as I pointed out earlier. Suffice to say that without testing the unit with my configuration in place you could not honestly say that the unit did not have the problems I stated in my RMA request. As any good tech knows, code sometimes has to be in a certain configuration to fail. So your claim that the returned router has no issue cannot be stated as fact. As I'm sure you are well aware many firmware updates correct problems on many devices with certain configuration issues. You never even asked how I had the router configured when you claimed it checked out as good. Now the problem I had might persist for other users with similar configurations. Your level of incompetence is astonishing. Moving on, you stated in your rebuttal and I quote "the number of satisfied customers is something like 100,000 to 1." end quote. An obviously inflated number to say the least. However, logically speaking, if that number were true, refunding shipping charges and not charging re-stocking fees, like many other companies do, shouldn't be a problem since by your own calculation dissatisfied customer numbers are minuscule and any loses would be insignificant. It is my opinion, on the other hand, that because you have so many returns it is necessary for you to charge re-stocking fees and not refund shipping charges in order to fatten your bottom line at the customers expense. Lastly, I'm considering a call the manufacturer Peplink directing them to this site so that they can evaluate how you handle problems with their products and violate your own privacy policy as stated on your website. I may even produce a youtube video covering this matter. But that all depends on you now.....

Customer keeps changing his story. Returned product and didn't return all items in box. We alerted him and he threatened that if we charged him for not returning the package complete, he would file a complaint with the BBB. He immediately filed a complaint with the BBB. We decided to give him a full refund for the item he purchased (which we would have anyways as it was only an ethernet cable and this was his 4th purchase with us). BBB sided with us and closed the case.  Next, he claimed he wanted a refund for shipping charges. The item he returned was not defective as we tested it (plus we have sold 1000s of the Surf SOHOs and it works great for so many). Also, now he claimed the items was an older model, that is also not true. The item we sold started with S/N “29”. All serial numbers that start with “29” indicate this is a SOHO with GB ethernet (which he claims it didn’t have). Our return policy clearly states you don't get shipping charges refunded. It is great being anonymous putting up your story on many web sites, but the number of satisfied customers is something like 100,000 to 1.  We did give you a full refund of $149.99, but as you agreed to the terms when you purchased, the shipping charge is not refundable (you selected FedEx 2 day for $15.98).  We are very sorry it didn't work out for you Mr. Warren Weeks of Tennessee and do wish you the best of luck.
