Customer Reviews of GeForce FX 5700 LE Optima 128MB DDR AGP
Review Products Please What the fellow here needs to understand is that this is for reviewing products and not for complaining about the manufacturer. I own this card myself and haven't had any problems with PNY, ever. For the price this is a decent card. Especially for Battlefield 2
Never buy PNY unless you are absolutely sure
Here's the situation:
<
>
<
>I purchased a GeForce 5500 128MB DDR AGP video card. I found out that I needed to get another piece of hardware and needed to return the video card. I went to the store to return it.

<
>Here starts the fun.

>I found out that the cashier typed the number in the computer instead of scanning the barcode as she was supposed to. I didn't think anything of it at the time. Looking at the box, it says I had a 128MB video card. When I put the card into my computer, it recognized it as a 128MB video card. Everything about it said it was a 128MB video card. Except the sticker on the video card. I didn't pay attention at the time and upon returning the item, I found that the sticker said it was a 256MB video card. The store's policy was that since it was an opened item and since my receipt stated that I had a 128MB card, but that the sticker said 256MB, that they couldn't take it back and I had to deal with the manufacturer. This was because the return desk actually scanned the barcode on the sticker that was on the card instead of being lazy and typing in the number that was on the box.

>Now I turn to the manufacturer, PNY. PNY might be backwards for You're Not sPecial. I talked with customer service (or lack thereof). The first guy told me that he couldn't take back my card and refund my money. He said he didn't have the authority to do so. He then pointed me to a voice mail of his supervisor. I left a message. Two days later (after no call-back) I called the main HQ in New Jersey. I told the operator that I wanted to talk to a supervisor since I had left a message and received no call back. I finally got to someone.

>He explained the reason for the mismatch as this: We sell our products to resellers in bulk. Sometimes in order to meet delivery requirements and deadlines, we go ahead and upgrade the product for free.

>I explained that this card really is a 128MB card and that it's just mislabeled-labeled and his quality control missed it. He went on to say that if the card was defective, that I could return it for a replacement, but that they don't do refunds. So I asked him specifically, I'm screwed and stuck with this card because his company has no process or policy to deal with their quality control missing things and he said no. NO! He even went on further to "advise" me that I could sell it on E-Bay or to a friend. Yeah! like I'm going to get what I paid for it! He also went on about how someone could have a shrink wrap machine in their car and blah blah blah. Come on, I'm not asking for the world here. If I really did have a 256MB card, then wouldn't my machine have recognized it as that? And why would I have paid for a 256MB card, then tried to return it in a 128MB box for a refund of the price of a 128MB card, all while keeping the 128MB card? That's about as dumb as someone going out, buying a HumVee, then buying a Civic, putting the Civic engine in the HumVee and then returning the Civic with the HumVee engine while keeping the HumVee with the Civic engine. I offered to send it in so they could see that when put in a machine it is a 128MB card and that the stickers that are wrong are the original stickers. He said that I could, but that I would only get a replacement. Again, I said, "So I'm just out of luck since the store won't take it back and you won't take it back and that your company will not do anything to help a customer?" He again said no. So much for customer service.

>So, bottom line is this, I personally will NEVER again purchase ANYTHING from PNY. If you find yourself so compelled to do so, then make sure when you purchase their products that before you open the box with the shrink wrap that you match the numbers on the outside of the box and the sticker on the card. Do a search on Google before unwrapping it. If you purchase it from a retail store, make sure the cashier scans the barcode located on the card that is peeking out through the little window of the box. Make sure that before you leave, your receipt states what you purchased and that you have matched the numbers on the barcode that is on the sticker that is on the card. PNY doesn't care about what happens to anyone. Straight from a supervisor at "customer service", they make sure they meet delivery dates and deadlines to their resellers.
