I had a bad experience buying a computer. It was very low on RAM, so I ordered a replacement
with more capacity. Twice, they sent me the wrong RAM, meaning it wasn't suitable for my PC.
The third time, they sent me the RAM I had ordered and paid for. The customer service
representative apologized and even gave me a discount on the shipping cost.
