I called and wanted to buy an HP4500. Since my business is just few miles away, I want to pick it up. She said there is no pick up. I have to pay shipping. Guess what, shipping is the same from Los Angeles to New York. What a scam. Overall Rating

Hmmm...they had a very nice and helpful customer support rep, but the company seems, as the British say, "dodgy"...website definitely needs to be updated, as my order was listed as in stock when I placed it online, but I later discovered that it had been out of stock for some time before that...my two messages to the manager himself were unanswered (and I was, of course, polite and all that)...while I haven't been burned by them, I can certainly think of better places to shop, that's for sure.

I had a terrible experience with California Computers. I ordered a Mac desktop from them. It arrived dead out of the box. Their "customer care" person was rude and refused to take the computer back. He said we had to have it repaired here. After repair by an authorized Mac dealer (which they are not!!) it only worked for 24 hours. They still refuse to take it back. They do not stand behind what they sell. Overall Rating

I needed the product before noon the next day. I called and the salesperson gauranteed that it would ship today and arrive tomorrow (I ordered pre-10am next day delivery for $115 -- order# 4287). They never called to inform me that they didn't indeed have it in stock or that it didn't ship. After speaking with the manager, I do not believe they even had the unit in stock when I placed my order. Absolutely horrible experience. Overall Rating

I ordered a product that had been discontinued (site showed it was in stock). After purchasing it, they e-mailed that the product was not in stock. I cancelled my order. I received confirmation of my cancellation and the e-mail even noted that my credit card would not be charged. When the bill came, my credit card had been charged. I have left three messages and even talked to an account exec who passed me off, but my credit card has not been credited. DON'T TAKE A CHANCE ON THIS BAD COMPANY!!! Overall Rating

Rock-bottom prices, but I paid an arm and a leg for overnight shipping and got the unit 6 days later! I requested a refund for the shipping and did not even get the courtesy of a reply--not even a generic form email. Buyer beware! Zero customer service. Overall Rating

I was trying to convince myself to buy items from regular retail shops. I have no whatsoever time to spare and gas is not even going down. I just ordered online from these guys. They got my order on time and how simple it was to do it online. I will go back and buy more from them. The item I ordered was an HP IPAQ Overall Rating

Received a Sonic Wall activation code that was already used. Tried for one week to get a new code and never received one. I received many promises and excuses from them, but no help. I suggest not using them.
Retailer Response (05/15/2007): Activation code was processed on time but it was sent to wrong e-mail address Sorry

Where can you get a good price for Pocket PCs than this place. I was hesitant to buy from them because they only have several ratings but now I am comfortable buying from them. They even gave me a good price for buying more. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them!. I will be back for more. Overall Rating

HORRIBLE experience!!! I've never been made such a fool by a vendor. Ordered an item on Thursday.. needed it right away so paid extra for Saturday delivery. After sending multiple emails 5 days later they finally reply saying that they couldn't "get to it".. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT???? Are you working out of your garage?? Then I asked them to ship it asap. A few hours later I receive another email saying that the item is out of stock. Furious about this, I call californiacomputers. I spoke to a VERY rude rep who basically told me to take my business elsewhere. I was very disappointed and will not refer anyone to this company. Overall Rating

I've never written a review before...but I set up an account just for this one!! I ordered a TomTom910 from this company and paid for it. I got to choose my shipping choice...so I chose the box that said $0.00. Even my receipt of payment said $0.00 for shipping. They then e-mailed me and informed me that it would cost $92 for shipping!! This is false advertisement. I told them that their website said $0 and if I had to pay the $92 I would like to cancel my order. So they just canceled it!!
Retailer Response (06/12/2007): We sympathize with your frustration, Tina. However, it would be a little more forthright if you revealed that your shipment was to go to the UK. As is the norm, our site quotes domestic shipping rates instantly, but international rates are provided subsequent to the receipt of the online order.

My experience was great. Ordered a notebook. Selected pay by check by mistake. Called CA Computer, got right to a person, and changed to credit card. Had email updates at each step. Person called to verify address. Got email with tracking same day. 3 days later had exactly what I ordered via regular shipping. Only improvement could be to web site (suggest radio buttons for payment selection :). Overall Rating

Great experience. I ordered a Sony Vaio laptop from this merchant. They asked the lowest price for it. I called them for the shipping details because I was in real hurry. Each time I called, I received a helpful response from customer service. I received my laptop in 16 hours which was earlier than I expected. I had no problems and highly recommend to everyone. I'll buy one again for my wife from the same merchant again. Overall Rating
