With regret, I am now going to tell you about my horrific experience with World Of Cables AKA "WeLoveMacs". The worst part is that I assisted these crooks in their sham operation by referring others to buy kits from them, just as I blindly did. Here is my story:
After enduring nearly two painful weeks of checking the mail, checking the mail and checking the mail for my RAM kit- the
crown element of my Pro Tools studio- I get a call today from none other than one: World Of Cables.
The man spoke with a heavy Indian accent and addressed himself thrice as
World of Cables. Only on the fourth account, did he disclose that his name was "Boba" (I think he meant Bob). Whatever his name was, he had bad news. Really bad news.
This little swindler informed me that my memory was a
rare part, thus it was on
back order. He said if I want my RAM, they would have to order it from a
3rd party and also that the price listed on the eBay page was from a long long time ago and bla bla bla... In short, he wanted nearly
DOUBLE the original price. This is an outrage and I'm not buying it...
Worldofcables is owned by Ken Olsen of
MemoryTen, parent company of
OEM PC World as well as
We Love Macs. They employ 51-200 people and they all LIE, LIE, LIE. On Reseller Ratings, a user by the name of
SteveJobs brought to light a a quote from the reseller which has been confirmed to be a blatant lie.

More proof of their deceit is
cached on the Google as well as their claim that to be a
"BBB Accredited Business" (which they are
not and probably never will be after I get done with them) has also been removed. That is just one example of their dishonesty, but where their deception ends, is where the line begins to blur... In just a year and a half they've aquired
18 BBB complaints,
6 reports on ripoffreport and an amassment of
horrible feedback on eBay. Here are a few:
Seller listed items BIN I paid Paypal, then they cancelled relisted 4 more $$$
7 days after I pay, they realize they don't actually have one to sell me. :-(
Seller cancelled as no longer available, even tho had 2 listed for sale on ebay
I paid. After 1 week, a refund was sent "our of stock" then relisted?
Tried to buy 2 skins from them. Didn't have either in stock but still list them
Sounds frighteningly familiar. After all that is said and done, the item is still listed on eBay! I have a hard time wrapping my finger around the concept that Ken Olsen, the owner of MemoryTen who boldly parades around as
"The Earth's Largest Memory Store", doesn't have my RAM. Well... He better find it because Worldofcables is now in a world of my retribution and I'm going postal with it.
