I was very hopeful when I started my experience with this company. The options were great. The prices were great. The website was actually usable unlike some other computer building sites.
I was even more pleasantly surprised when I started using their online chat support. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Travis, Emily, and everyone else were great.
The problem started with my laptop order when I was still in Phase 1 (Inventory Gathering) after 14 Days of the order being placed and paid for. Mind you, the website said that it will ship between 7 and 9 business days. It had been 10 and I was still in Phase 1 of 5 phases... (I know what work goes in to building a custom PC, so I know it takes time, however 2 weeks to gather inventory that is advertised on your website is absurd. On top of that, putting it together, installing windows, optimizing, calibrating, and overclocking, and then testing. I knew it was going to take another week at least before it was even shipped.)
So I decided to go with another company who can quickly acquire the goods needed for my build. I cancelled my order with them with a representative, who was also pleasant (Landon I believe), on 8/5. My Order status was changed during the day 8/7/17. Now another issue, I have not received my refund yet, and it has been 6 days, we are on the 5th business day since the order status changed.
I do not know about anyone reading this, however I am an eCommerce Marketplace Manager. If I had a department, or an employee, who was causing delays and slow turnaround time for anything in my business, there would be serious issues and change. ECommerce demands speed, quick turnaround, and perfect accuracy. I am not sure why it was taking so long to acquire parts, or why the refund process is absurdly long. I also know that I ordered a similar laptop from another company on 8/6/2017 and it will be here 8/14/2017. I have my tracking already.
I am disappointed because the support team at the very least was phenomenal. I have to get another laptop for my wife since hers is failing. I was going to get mine from Xotic now, then get hers in a few weeks... Unless something significantly changes with this company, I will not be visiting their site again for my computer needs.
Use dell or toshiba, same quality laptop without the old used parts. Bought a supposed brand new Laptop and had to spend $670 6 months later to repair the video card. Never again will i use a online system provider.
Xoticpc carries really good prices and configurations for MSI computers along with a great 3 year warrenty. Same configuration on other pcs like hp envy and asus run over $2500 but on msi through xoticpc I got it for around $1600, big savings.
Answer: Scam. Sells faulty machines. I believe that when xoticpc discovers they have a broken or faulty laptop, sells the product to the consumer anyways, asking THEM to do an RMA instead of performing any quality control whatsoever
Answer: It is impossible. After a month of trying, chat never answered, never emailed back, etc. I found only way was to call sales. They answered that line on first ring. After many tries finally got through, but no help from them once I did. Read my review
Answer: I bought a $2500 PC from this company and had to RMA it after only having it for a month. After I got it back everything was fine for about 5 months and then the PC started randomly shutting down and XoticPC wanted 90 dollars just to send it back to them to have them fix it and another 60 to have them ship it back to me. So, 150 dollars later I receive my PC back from them only to find out they didn't fix the problem. I'm sure they'll want another 150 just to not fix it again. They only issue refunds to machines bought in the last 30 days. Steer clear of this company.
