They were timely and helpful They were timely and helpful. If I ever need to purchase a computer again I will definitely use them.

Avoid AVADirect At All Costs PLEASE NOTE: AVADirect had this review deleted from Resellerratings. On there, they have <1% negative reviews, but on here they have 25%+ negative reviews. Resellerratings cannot be trusted. An employee of AVADirect created a sock account known as John-e-Diamonds on Reddit in order to defame our company. We contacted AVADirect in June in regards to a distribution deal where they would build some of our laptops and sell them on their website. We actually worked out a deal, and they did offer our laptops on their site for a brief period of time. You can find mentions of it on their social media. Well, after only a couple of months, we decided to end the deal and asked AVADirect to remove our laptops and all mention of our company from their site, and we told this employee that he was the reason why we were ending the deal. So if you're wondering what his motive is to create a sock account and defame our company, that's probably it. He really seemed to take offense to us saying he cost his business one of the best opportunities they will ever have. This AVADirect employee is one of the worst kinds of people to deal with. He will say anything, flip-flopping back and forth from one day to the next, as if he has no memory or conscience. For instance, he'll give you a price on day 1 and then, on day 2, increase it by 50% without even telling you he's doing it or justifying why he did it. When you correspond with him through email, he honestly comes across as a goon. One of his favorite expressions is, "It is what it is." This is what he says when you call him out on his nonsense. "It is what it is." His creating a sock account in order to defame our company is honestly proof of how little character he has. When we were working out a deal, this employee said AVADirect makes 5% on the sale of laptops. Then, right after this, he asked us for a 20% cut on the sale of our laptops and even tried to get 30%. After some back and forth on why he was asking for so much, he said AVADirect makes 20% on their MSI laptops. So what happened to the 5% he said AVADirect makes on laptops? In his Reddit post, he said that AVADirect refused to do business with us. This is a direct quote: "In the 15+ years I've been in the industry, this was the first time I refused ongoing business from a client. Take what you want from that statement." In actuality, we are the ones who ended the deal between our companies, and it was because we were tired of dealing with this employee. AVADirect never refused to do business with us. The fact that AVADirect doesn't fire this employee means they allow their employees to engage in this sort of duplicitous behavior, so if they reply to this review, you cannot trust a word they say. Of course, they will probably try to make up more lies about us in order to defend themselves. The facts speak for themselves. We terminated the deal between our company and AVADirect and one of their employees subsequently created a sock account on Reddit in an attempt to defame us by saying we are so bad they refused to do business with us.

Flawless Execution Both the build and shipping came off without complications. Packing it for shipping was the Chef's Kiss. And my PC arrived early. Checked all the connections and fired her up. Very happy with the results. Cable management was a work of art. I only wish I could buy a 2nd build now! But I have state of the art for my budget and no complaints what so ever.

One of the most frustrating experiences of my life. First and last time ever attempting to get a prebuilt computer. I don't have the time nor the patience to explain the frustration that this company put me through. Bottom line, they'll take your $2-3,000 out of your bank account, never contact you or keep you posted about part delays (which is stated is THEIR responsibility in their own Terms of Service. If you think I'm joking it's Article 4 of Conditions of Sale on their own Payment Form. "It is our responsibility to maintain direct communication with customer regarding any delays which we are aware". They NEVER ONCE contacted me in 2+ months, and were WELL AWARE.), then when you contact them every 2-3 weeks, they'll pretty much give you zero answers, incoherent ramblings about something or another, leaving you worse off than when you called to check on the status. Then on top of waiting over 2+ months with ZERO contact initiated by them, for a part they said they would have in 2 weeks. Nope. THEN if you try to refund, they'll try to steal 10% of your total order cost even though they had only acquired $80 of a $2,700 computer build. So essentially trying to steal $270 from my family because they're unable to fulfill THEIR OWN OBLIGATIONS AS STATED ON THEIR TOS. Worst company I've dealt with in a long time. After telling them how full of themselves they were, they finally decided I was right and gave me back 100% of my money. Thank god. Don't deal with these crooks, they're betting you don't have the balls to stand up to them to get that 10% of your final order cost back. (When they can't even acquire the parts, they'll glad take your money though) The only reason I even bothered with this site is because it's listed on AMD's Site under "Where To Buy"...yeaa...riiight. I would give you negative 5 stars if it was possible. Hands down worst experience pertaining to buying computer parts in my life, you would think for someone willing to give a company $2,700 they could at least let you know what was going on, but nah, they'd genuinely don't care.

Avadirect makes wondorful pcs The pc is great, they made recommendations and even waved the price of an upgrade for me, everyone was so nice, I was able to finance it for 12 months, and this allowed me to get my dream computer, and it came with a warrenty! They even give you the rest of the thermal paste if you select diamond, avadirect has always done my family good, they made my old pc and my moms pc, they do take a little while to build the pc tho. BUT NOW I HAVE RAY TRACING
