Thumbs down Don't buy from Kobalt Computers

Thumbs down Don't buy from Kobalt Computers
No communications, no contact, plenty excuses, but no laptop and after 10 weeks time has run out. I cannot stress enough how disappointed I am with the level of customer service and disregard shown. After paying a large sum for a premium product and to receive nothing but excuses and empty promises this is totally unacceptable.

And it's not like I can review the product as I cot nowhere near one, the review and pictures look good, but what's the use of that when you're 3K out of pocket... Keep well clear of these cowboys...

An Alienware would have been better than this...

Hi

As of today Kobalt are bust! Unfortunately they still owe me £1443.

Get in touch if you are in a similar situation.

Thanks

It should be Okay for people who used credit cards. At most they will be liable for the first $50.00. It'll probably take repeated calls, but that is the law with credit cards.

Now anyone who paid by Debit card or cheque are probably up Sh!t creak without a paddle.

This is really bad as Z said. I hope you guys get your money back!
