Not to steal the thunder of the person who posted the original thread but I think this is a more elegant solution to the Nairaland Age Group problem.

Please indicate your age grade by liking the appropriate post below:

ochukoccna: Why did the OP delete his original thread?
How do we know what transpired between you and Konga?
Even if you have resolved with them,why not let us judge what happened for ourselves
Or is the OP a bloody alarmist?

I am not an alarmist, though I must admit I was so frustrated at the time and wanted to force the hand of Konga.com by writing this public post. But all in all, I can say that the laptop issue was resolved before this post came to their attention due in large part to my persistence (trust me na I be naija blood). Like some people have speculated, yes I am indeed remorseful that my rashness(?) has perhaps cost Konga a bit of PR image. I actually do have a lot of respect and admiration for them but those uploaders need spanking sha.

DICKtator: How much did they pay you for this? I mean to shut da phucck up? I know most people have a price?
Please don't take me seriously on this!!!!

If they had offered to pay me without resolving the issue, I would have downright refused of course...
If they had offered to pay me AND resolve the issue, why the heck would I refuse? LOL

But as it stands they've done nothing of the sort (that is paying me) but I'm still waiting though LOL.

Jokes apart, it was Konga PR who called and reminded me about this post which I had totally forgotten about. It was only morally right for me to come and set things straight and state how and when the issue was resolved. The real moral though is that if you had ever doubted the potency of NL, doubt no more..

webdezzi: I love the fact that they resolved this issue but having the OP remove the original post is not just dubious but unfair to Nigerian

Then to imagine you got the next poster to post on your behalf? Hmm.

Anyway, i will use konga next time i need to buy. Atleast we can iron issues out on this forum if am not satisfied.

The original post is there to be read now

yomalex: Did anybody by chance copy the original post as it has been deleted, if you delete the OP you might as well delete the whole thread.

I decided it was only fair to general public to bring back the Original post.

Hi guys,

I've failed to monitor this post for sometime now and I was unaware of the amount of attention it was getting and that's the reason why I am only just replying.

Konga.com, to their credit, have actually rectified the whole laptop situation. They shipped a replacement out to me this week (after a two week struggle) and funded my Konga.com wallet with the balance.

I'm sorry to have raised so much alarm in the heat of the moment. I've actually continued to use them for many other purchases since then. I think they are a good service used with caution, something we really need in this country and should be encouraged.

Those are my honest two cents.

Good day y'all

ORIGINAL POST
=====================================================================

First off a bit of advice. Don't buy anything important from Konga.com. Or don't buy anything without calling them first to confirm every single detail. Or at the very least don't pay by card for anything on Konga.com.

I ordered a HP Envy Ultrabook from Konga and paid by card. One thing that decided me in favour of this ultrabook in place of the myriad other options is the fact that it was stated to have a DVD drive.

However, on receiving it a few days later and opening the package I discovered to my infinite ire that, actually, like many ultrabooks, this one doesn't come with an in-built DVD drive.I called Konga to complain several times.

The representatives kept promising to get back to me. I called again the next day and the rep promised to get back to me once again.

The Day after that I got a call from Konga and the rep informed me that the HP Envy Ultrabook I ordered doesn't have an in-built DVD drive (Duhh! What have I been saying all along?!) Of course I protested that at the time I ordered the product page said it had a DVD drive.

At which point, the CS rep said that their 'uploaders' had informed her that there was no mention of an optical drive for that particular model.

She then suggested I go and review the web page and confirm the specs again. Lo and behold, when I went back to the webpage, all mention of a DVD drive had disappeared as if by magic.

Remember, this was two days after I had taken delivery of the laptop. So basically, whoever made the mistake of writing an optical drive for that laptop has gone and covered their tracks making me look like a fool at this point.

This was hardly the first mistake I've seen by the 'uploaders' of Konga but it's clear that whatever mistakes they make, it's the customers who pay for it.

Isn't that just cozy? As it stands, I've been informed that since I've broken the seal for this laptop, I cannot have it replaced or refunded.

So thanks to some meathead of an uploader, I'm stuck with a fairly expensive ultrabook that isn't an ultrabook at all, is too heavy and doesn't even have a DVD drive to account for all that extra weight. So in brief, I've paid all that extra money just for a brushed metal look. Nice!

Be warned.
