Accessories4less shipped a refurbished receiver that was not in working order. Dealt with an extremely rude person, Jeff G. Did not receive full refund back on the defective unit. Would not recommend doing business with this business.

I would not recommend Accessories4Less for big-ticket items like AV receivers or anything else. Their prices look attractive, but the return policy is very unfriendly. The website's condition section for the unit I purchased reads "you might even get something better than new" — thoroughly cleaned, tested, and renewed to original condition", that "Yamaha product undergoes such close scrutiny" and "Yamaha's refurbished mean “as new.” This is far from the truth because the a/v receiver I received was defective and showed signs of wear. I started the return process and talked to Austin on the phone. He said they’ll check the unit out to determine if it’s a defect, and promise no restocking fee if it is' yet when I returned it I still ended up losing over $130 in shipping and restocking fees. Other customers have had similar experiences and lost more.
They don’t send defective items back to the manufacturer — instead, they inspect and test them in-house. they don't use certified technicians, therefore it's impossible for them to properly diagnosed the unit to issue a refund as fast as they issued my reduced refund. In reality, you’ll be charged fees regardless if it’s defective or not and the next customer may get that defective unit. If they decide it’s not defective, you will pay return shipping both ways(yes, they will deduct/charge you for the initial free shipping plus you have to pay the fee to return it) plus a 10–15% restocking fee, even if the product arrived in poor condition. AVRs are heavy, so the costs add up quickly. With a return policy like this, it’s clear Accessories4Less does not want or care about having returning customers. It literally has scam-like tendencies.
Buying from Accessories4less is a gamble. Okay if you’re 100% sure you’ll keep the item, but extremely risky if there’s a chance you’ll need to return it. . I’d recommend going with places like Crutchfield, Amazon (direct), or Best Buy, where return policies are far more customer-friendly.
Bottom line: The discount is not worth the risk. Just don't.

Purchased a definitive technology…
Purchased a definitive technology subwoofer. I chatted with customer service pre purchase and they assured me it was compatible with my soundbar. I received the subwoofer and it wouldn’t pair to my system. I don’t know if the part was bad or just not compatible with my system. I asked for a refund which they approved after a couple days. Original part was $100 with free shipping. In order to return I had to pay shipping both ways and a restock fee. In the end, it was going to cost me $95 to return. Buyer beware! I called customer service when I realized the cost of shipping and they didn’t take my call or return my call. I would definitely not recommend purchasing from them!!!!!

Defective or not there is no return policy
I ordered a Yamaha as2200 on Feb 22. It arrived with the volume control floating in the box and the entire volume control shaft was loose. I emailed them immediately, they came up with different excuses and delays until 30 days passed and then told me oh well tough luck. I also bough some kef r7 metas which did arrive unscathed. I am fortunate that I can handle a 3k loss. I would be careful as soon as you buy from them its yours no matter what, so it's a gamble. Do you feel lucky?

It’s a scam
It’s a scam. They do not grade the products (A,B,C, D or stars) and you may get a good one or junk. The first order may be great. But the second might be damaged. Forget about sending it back for a refund. It’s yours now!
It is better to buy new on sale or from a reputable company that sells its own refurbished, like Apple.

Never again!!!!! What a nightmare and scam!
First time buying from the site and I was super excited to receive this amplifier, but things didn't go as planned. I had a Denon AVR-X6700H before that I sold, and I wanted something new. I set it up as soon as it arrived and everything worked...except when I turned on my TV. I first thought that I had a defective HDMI cable, so I ended up buying 6 different cables and none of them fixed the problem. I contacted customer service, but they were careless and provided useless advice. I decided to hire an audio expert who came to my house to help me solve the problem but he failed at making it work too! I requested a return and much to my surprise I was told that They won't reimburse me the full amount because they have to deduct the shipping they paid to send it to me ( never heard of such a policy) , and on top of that they will apply a restocking fee of 10%. Of course, I have to pay for the shipping to send it back to them. But the icing on the cake was their response when I complained about their way of doing things. The customer service agent told me and I am literally copying and pasting his message here:
"Samsung TV is the issue. Why not call Samsung and ask them to fix their garbage TV?"
I had 2 receivers before buying this Onkyo and I NEVER had a single problem with the sound but it's better to blame Samsung. I will never buy from this site again and I advise everyone to think twice before buying anything on this site because the experience can quickly turn into a nightmare

False advertising - scumbags
Fake sales! Avoid this company! It’s a vile little tin-pot company who publish bargain deals but cannot honor them. I tried to bend over backwards for them when they demanded utility bills (yes I accept fraud prevention), but I sent way more than needed. After many emails and false claims telling me reasons why they could not recommend the unit or that because I’m British that I “might” take this item to England which would have poor consequences on the device!!!! I ordered a USA device because I live in USA!
Enough of the lies! If you cannot sell an item then don’t advertise it! I then got a tirade of abuse and threats. To hide their fake sales they created a fake FedEx shipment which they cancelled a few minutes later with the claim that they had shipped something! I reported them to the Better Business Bureau where they claimed more lies that were so obvious that it just reveals what kind of cheats they are and also shows just how dumb they are in their story telling to even realize! 🤣 What a joke! I’m actually glad that these vile scumbags did at least refund me. After reading the other reviews I think I had a very lucky escape!
