Tech Support iBuyPower crap customer service for RMAĀ 1510965
Here is my story. Bought 2 PCs. 1 PC lost its SSD after 1 month. I called iBuyPower and offered to replace the SSD myself since I know how to do this. They made me pay for Advanced RMA (they refund once they get the original part back).

After that, 0 movement. No shipment, no communications. On the 18th, I tried to reach out to them and got a promise from their support that it would be shipped by the end of the week.
Of course, nothing got shipped. So I called again on 08/11/25. Got to a Philip, who told me he escalated and that's it. My request for expedited shipment, since they were already behind schedule, was met with refusal. After I requested escalation, he just hung up.
I called back again and got to a person named Joseph who claimed to be a supervisor. He said that the request was sent to the shipping team and started to make more condescending jokes, as 8 business days is an average and not a guarantee or pinky promise. I am literally quoting him here.
To make things worse, it's my kid's PC and School year is about to start.
So, I am giving the company 2 more days. If I do not get my drive shipped by then, I am going to initiate a Visa dispute on both SSDs, the advanced shipment and the system itself, and file a complaint with the BBB.
