Customer Review: Disappointment Turned To Satisfaction
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered the Intel i7 975 Extreme 3.33GHZ processor from Amazon.com for use in my BYOPC project. Since I had purchased other items in the past from Amazon, I didn't have any reservations about this nearly $1,000 online transaction.
I ordered on a Saturday evening and the product arrived the following Friday. The outer box was packaged in a neat, secure manner. However, when I opened it, I was not only disappointed...I was rather unhappy at what I found inside.
The box that was supposed to include the Intel processor (which I'll explain in a minute) was dirty and wrinkled, appearing as though it had been thrown from a vehicle and then stepped on with a dirty shoe. The box wasn't factory packaged--no cellophane and no seal at the boxtop. When I opened the INTEL box, I found inside, an old AMD PROCESSOR, which had been inserted into an Intel processor sleeve, along with the processor heat sink/fan assembly. I couldn't believe that Amazon shipped this out.
I immediately phoned Amazon.com and was able to speak with a customer service rep named Anna. She was very accomodating and listened calmly to what I'm sure was a somewhat angry tone, while I described what I'd received from Amazon. She gave me return instructions and said a new shipment would be sent. I received the new unit the following Tuesday, built the new system the next day and am happy to report, is running great. Yes, it's an expensive computer component at $989.00 but I most always buy the biggest and best available.
I have it slightly overclocked at 3.46GHZ and it performs very well.
In closing, this Intel processor works as promised and a thank you to Amazon customer service rep Anna for the manner in which she handled my situation.
