GBUnable to competently repair warrantied unit I have only made two negative reviews in my life so for me to make one says a great deal about my level of frustration. I read in an earlier review that this company is great when they are selling you something but that's where the good service/communication ends and I couldn't agree more. My DVR was sent in for a warranty repair because it completely stopped working (my $100 expense). Two weeks later it comes back and is doing the exact same thing I sent it to them to repair. To keep this review brief I will just say that their inability to communicate in a consistent and above board level was astonishing. Between their inability to competently repair my unit and a pure indifference towards my investment and time I would say that the concept of what they advertise is great. Their ability to follow through with that concept isn't.

GBSimple repair comes back with more problems after I refuse "extra" service I sent my Tivo S3 in for repair to the HDMI port which failed because the pins had gotten bent. Other than that, the unit had worked flawlessly for years. While the unit was in for service, Weaknees contacts me and tells me that the power supply in my unit is showing signs of failing in the near future. But, if I give them another $99.99 (not kidding), they would replace the power supply. I politely declined as I was at the maximum for my investment in the unit and would accept the unit maybe working for another 6 months or, maybe if I am lucky, a year. I at least expected that it would work when returned to me as Weaknees indicated that it was in working order after the repair. I got the unit back and, while the HDMI repair seemed to be successful, I am experiencing problems with the unit freezing so that it becomes non-working. I wrote Weaknees about the problem and they told me that these are symptoms of a failing power supply. I'll let you be the judge on whether this is a shady scenario or not.

GBGreat product excellent customer service One of direct tv receivers w/tivo was dying normally i have ordered a used one on ebay. I was doing some searching and came across weaknees after reading some reviews and information on there web sight I decided to order a new hardrive. The shipped it out very quick and it arrived on time from ups except the drive delivered it to the wrong address. Ups was pretty useless they told be it can take up to 8 business to track down the package basically i just have to wait. However weekness was very helpful within a few day over a weekend weekness agreed to overnight me a new one and they would deal with ups after they shipped it. None the less weekness was very very patient with all my fustratation with ups. The hard drive installation was extremely easy and is working flawlessly. I would recommend weeknees to anyone there web sight is very informative. They have a great forum section and seem to answer questions very quickly and only sell you what you need.

GBPoor Customer Service Strict Returns I recently purchased a hard drive from Weaknees. The hard drive didn’t fix my TiVo problem. I then purchased a power supply. This didn’t fix my problem either. They only agreed to take back the power supply because I bought the hard drive more than 30 days ago. They already charge a 15% restocking fee and they still refused to help me out. I am not even sure if the hard drive works.

GBGreat product, great service, easy install. Thanks for the prompt delivery and great product. Everything worked great. The instructions were easy to follow. Anyone considering buying a cheaper hard drive and formatting themselves should forget about it. Weaknees delivers a great product, saves you time and it works out of the box. Thanks again.
