Lets face it, NO ONE can compare to Newegg's service.
I had a bad experience with ZipZoomFly recently, (I used them ONLY because they still use Fed Ex at a reasonable cost) I spent 1600 beans there within the period of a week, got a bad set of fancy Corsair ram (303 dollars). One stick failed memtest horribly, I called them up about it and they told me they would give me a full refund. I sent them in, got the run around from them with the customer service representative switcharoo, and ended up receiving a refund minus the 45.45 restock fee.
I immediately called them and a trained monkey on the other end kept repeating " the memory tested good". that is all he could say. I asked to speak to his manager and got voicemail , and I left a message to return my call and guess what, not a peep from them. I sent multiple e mails and same thing, nothing.
Now before you say well maybe the memory was OK, I will tell you this: I have been building computers for 10 years, and know a bad memory stick when I run across one. Memtest86 verified that one stick was bad, (not both) and I tested them in two different platforms. The bad stick had scratches on it, so I was probably not the first own them.
I hate being ignored and hate someone screwing me out of my money even more so I did this:
1. Negative Evals at reselleratings.com and pricegrabber.com. they probably don't care about them since they never respond to any of the many previous complaints. BUT - other people deserve to know.
2. I wrote a very detailed complaint to the Better Business Bureau. http://www.bbb.org/ This is what you will probably be most successful with. (they have 10 days to respond back to the BBB)
3. I wrote to the manufacturer of the memory explaining my experience, how I received a defective product of theirs that appeared to be used. And that they charged me a restock fee which tells me they may be sticking it back on the shelf to be resold again.
I finally received this yesterday:

Biggest thing is take your time when writing letters, include all the pertinent info and base your complaint on facts not emotional output.Dear Customer,
Our apologies, we will be refunding you for the restocking fee. Please allow 3-5 business days for the bank to update the information. Please feel free to contact us if you need anything else.
