'Oldegg' unfair return and review restrictions

(Sanford, Maine, United States)

I recently had to send back a processor recommended by 'Oldegg' personnel for my motherboard and I used my very gentle process of installing and uninstalling the processsor which has not damaged over 100 processors.

The return personnel at 'Oldegg' said that the processor had bent wires and they refused to honor their RMA email promising to refund the full cost of the processor, over $139.

When I tried to leave a review of my experience, I noticed their review guidelines which are included below.

They obviously don't honor their committments and recommendations and do not allow any reviews that might in some way cost them a refund.

Recommendations: If anyone is tempted to take advantage of 'Oldegg' pricing and need to get an RMA, take a closeup picture of the item, especially processors with protruding wires, and get a witness who can corroborate the condition of the item returned.

I have never had an organization claim that I caused damage when the item was at risk for damage from their own personnel before it was sent to me and after they received it back. Be careful out there.
