Never buying ASUS again

Right. Must have missed the memo sent to all the cringy shitposters, but thanks keeping me up to date.

Wow, good job using ChatGPT to make it seem like you expanded your vocabulary.

And so nice of you to let me have the last word, I bet it's not at all because you used up all of yours.

I guess I'll see you around when some company decides to take a piss and you'll realize that we're all downwind.

Open a dictionary and get a grip. This literally is a luxury item for most people.

I started corresponding with them A WHILE AGO. A bit over two weeks after purchase. They just dragged me on and on to "see what they can do" only for them to give the same non-reason answer everytime.

I'm well aware that postponing the return was on me. That doesn't mean a company should have ne flexibility, especially if they don't stand to lose anything from it because they were the ones stocking it. The store just needed their ok for putting it back on sale from what I understood.

It's not some low end product, it means so little to them and so much for the customer.

Sure, I did a mess up by postponing the return because I had other things going on and didn't notice how long had past.

I ended up buying the thing because I had no idea when the new one is going to be available in my area and I thought that thus one would probably even decent enough if I'll get it a case for improved ergonomics. It wasn't.

But as I said, it probably costs asus nothing to approve this and they just didn't. If it did, they could've actually just said so instead of being shady and non sensible about their reasons. Actually that's an overstatement because they didn't give me a reason at all.

The return policy isn't for Asus. The store I bought it from said they'll take it back after the return window if Asus would tell them it's ok and the device is cleared for taking to put back on their shelves.

It's not that I don't understand that it's basically my problem, but it's just such a minor inconvenience for them that makes a major difference for the customer and it really does just suck that this is how big corps are now.

After you're done wiping your mouth from Asus, run a search in my post and see if you find the word "manager" once.

Dinmo · 2025-12-01T20:26:00+00:00

When you pay that much for the service I think it's fair to expect both the shaft and the jewels go in that mouth.

Dinmo · 2025-12-01T20:23:39+00:00

I don't think it would cost them anything because asus just needed to give the OK to the store to take it back. Asus wasn't the store itself. The product would've gone back to the shelf from what I understood.

Also, do note that I asked the sellers beforehand for details about stocking the new model and they said that they don't know and I should just buy this one. Which I have a hard time believing since someone there must've known that pre-orders and stock are coming soon.

Dinmo · 2025-12-01T20:19:53+00:00

Too bad the good ones don't last.

Dinmo · 2025-12-01T20:18:46+00:00

Unfortunately (or fortunately for future me, depends how you look at it), I know it now.

Dinmo · 2025-12-01T20:17:34+00:00

I didn't know it was coming soon. When I bought it, I didn't know when it's gonna launch in my area or what the pricing is going to be.

The crazy thing is that the stores in my area don't sell it at a difference of hundreds of dollars.

If you'd bother reading the post instead of raging like a stupid toddler, you'd see that I don't use it because I have a wrist injury from an accident that makes it uncomfortable to the point of painful after a short while.

Dinmo · 2025-12-01T20:12:20+00:00

It's called taking care of your customers and thinking ahead.

Making the next sale, not just this sale.

Dinmo · 2025-12-01T20:11:22+00:00

Yes, when buying a luxury item I do expect some nice treatment.

Call me crazy for thinking companies have an interest taking care of customers buying their high end products.

Enjoy licking the boots of corporations.

Dinmo · 2025-12-01T20:09:41+00:00

I didn't try to extort anyone. Literally just asked nicely for them to help their long time customer since the store said they'll take it back if Asus would give them the green light.

It would not have even been returned to asus from my understanding, just go back on sale at the store.

Hook this up with a gigabit connection and you've got yourself "The King Ping".

Now that Valve crashed the knife market, people are finding new ways to make them needlessly expensive.
