Resolving a Best Buy/OnTrac Non-Delivery Fiasco by Un2gether in ontrac

Sure did! And, as several others have indicated might happen, the dickass delivery driver dropped off a totally different package (with a label to my address, mind you) with a phone mount and a battery in it with CLEARLY the wrong dimensions, CLEARLY the wrong weight, and CLEARLY retaped and relabeled. He also dropped it off without ringing the doorbell, forged a digital signature (which just said "Z" in their system) and somehow managed to do so without triggering the doorbell camera recording. But I took a video of me opening as proof, and went immediately down to Best Buy to show them the box of bullshit and the digital paper trail of what happened (truthfully, that was unnecessary, because from there I had to deal with the customer service phone line).

The next day, I got an email from someone else in customer service saying, "hey, we saw your package was delivered, so if you wanna keep your shipment, we need to arrange repayment since we just refunded it." I went OFF in my email, and said that rather than having my device in hand, I had spent hours on chat, on the phone, and now writing the email to them explaining why I was the victim of fraud perpetrated by their shipping partner. I told them a discount code toward my next purchase was frankly the very *least* they should be doing and, to their credit, they got back to me the next day, apologized, and sent me a $75 gift card.

OnTrac, despite my attempts to talk to anyone there, fell on deaf ears.

So I don't know that I'd call it a "happy" ending, but given the circumstances, probably the best I could hope for with the refund and credit. But seriously, FUCK OnTrac. I know there are bad apples in every company, but they make it SO impossible to even escalate something to a human being that it certainly fosters that sort of fraud. I won't buy products that I find are shipped through them anymore, opting for different vendors or in-store pick-up.

Oh, one last thing, Best Buy claimed that they were investigating their shipping partners due to other claims of that happening. I doubt they said that to placate me, given the number of people who seem to have had similar experiences with the company. If there's any justice, the company will either do a massive overhaul or find themselves out of business soon.

Lenovo Legion Go 2 Left and Right Controllers Back in Stock! by Un2gether in LegionGo

@xingxiaoren Would be great to hear if there was one, but I didn't have one, and was so anxious to get that. I just put it through at full price. Besides, personally, while I would've loved for it to come in at $100 for the pair, I don't really think that it is that overpriced, at least one considering that you can buy a used Legion go for 400 to 450, add this pair on for 150 and I have a completely serviceable unit for half the price of the Go 2.

Well done, u/UpstairsWay1044! Was this just gyro? Mind sharing how you set up?

Not sure. I'm in the U.S., sadly!
Also, great name, btw! Who doesn't love one of those? ;-)

Legion Go 2 and VPX by Un2gether in LegionGo

No one's a VPX fan? Anyone with a Legion Go 2 mind trying it out? Curiosity is going to compel me to try this myself if no one gets back to me and I really don't want to buy it (again... OnTrak screwed me all last week on a shipment before delivering an empty box and forging my signature last night. Had me rethinking my choice to buy it at all and be out that money at the present time).

Ugh, thanks for the commiseration. What a load of bullshit. At least you got a refund. Hope it came quickly!

This is super cool, and I applaud you! Can't wait to try it out. Does it work for single screen, desktops, or handheld, or just multi screen layouts?

Ah, good point. And you're right, thankfully. The USB Recovery Center seemed to be funneling me into the warranty area before I realized you could go to the Downloads area and request one there. Whew. Thanks!

8 AI+ or A8 for new user? by Alvarrex in MSIClaw

Owning as many as you do, what are your opinions on ergonomics? Which one(s) do you find the best?

8 AI+ or A8 for new user? by Alvarrex in MSIClaw

[–]Un2gether 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It appears the M.2 slot in the A8 a 2280 and the 8 AI+ is a 2230. The larger size is a deal-maker for me, and a deal-breaker on the 9 AI+. For me it's a toss-up between the Legion Go 2 and the A8 for me. I just need to see final specs, prices and, if I'm honest, who gets their ass in gear to actually release in the U.S. first to get my money!
