I placed my order on 10/9/25 they sent me an email on 10/10 saying that my payment was successful. On 10/15 they send me an email saying that the product I ordered is out of stock, and it will cost an additional $72 to restock it. They gave me the choice to pay more for a product that they already accepted payment for or select a new product. This is a blatant breach of FTC laws. ⚖️ 3. State Consumer Protection Laws Every state — including Oregon, Arizona, California, etc. — has its own consumer protection act. These laws prohibit: “Bait-and-switch” tactics, Retroactive price increases, and Failure to honor posted or agreed prices. For example: Oregon Revised Statutes §646.608(1)(k) prohibits “advertising goods or services with intent not to sell them as advertised.”

Dont waste your money - go to a reliable company that offers service and has a goal of creating well made merchandise that they stand behind. This is not the place!!!

Wouldn't use them again

Complete scam. This website will gladly take your credit card information. Placed an order, they refused to ever even attempt to charge me. Then they cancel the order and an hour later I have 4 unauthorized charges. This website doesn’t actually ship any products, it’s a phishing site

I received a quote and later purchased that product only to have customer service reach out to tell me there was an issue with the pricing they provided, and asked if I would be willing to pay an additional amount just so they can "break even". First of all, they're not losing money on a $2,300 laptop. Second, even if that were true, they would still make more money on a potential repeat customer if they just agreed to eat the additional $60 they wanted. Shouldn't businesses stand behind their quotes? I can't stress enough that all I wanted to do was purchase the quote they provided me. I can't recommend AVADirect.com if they won't stand behind their quotes. It's that simple.

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.

This is my second computer I purchased from Avadirect. According to their website "Customers who purchased a "Signature Series" or "True Custom" product from AVADirect are entitled to free technical hardware-related support for the lifetime of their product." Warranty states "AVA Basic (2-Year Labor / 1-Year Parts)" Order Placed: July 28, 2023 order number: AVA-636415 After several requests to Tech Support I have yet to hear back about my onboard NIC issue. I contacted Tech Support due to packet related loss. Because the company "Advertises" "Lifetime Tech Support" I reached out with them to attempt to discuss a defective onboard NIC issue with my Motherboard. The issues I am encountering are packet related lost. This is from occurring when pinging my default gateway. I have attempted to eliminate the issue. I replaced and used a back up router, used a new cat5 Cable. Neither of those two fixes addressed the issue. It also is not a issue related to my ISP because I am not pinging past the default gateway. The only way to determine if the onboard NIC card is defective is through a separate ping test. I purchased and I used a a TP-Link USB to Ethernet Adapter. I went through the USB and repeated the same test. By doing so this eliminated the packet lost. But now I am left with a defective on-board motherboard NIC. And with a company that claims they provide "Lifetime Support" and "Warranty Services" who after they sell you the computer could careless about responding back to a customer. Will be opening a claim through Mastercard Purchase Assurance as the company will not address this concern.

Of course avadirect isn’t going to publish bad reviews on their own site (that should be red flag 1). Over 2 years ago I ordered a system. I still have no factual proof of delivery so I’m out of over $2700. Not only that but I was also informed I couldn’t get the “free” digital download games without receiving the hardware. Here are the facts gathered from my order: FedEx was unable to determine where they were on my property via their own GPS tracking during time of delivery. FedEx’s “signature” was not that of mine but one that matched exactly a cursive font from Microsoft word. FedEx’s driver gave a very generic description of the person that supposedly signed for the package which at the time only possibly matched one of my neighbors who did not have the computer. My neighbor noted he saw a FedEx truck but did not see them unload a package. After a supposed investigation somehow this conjecture was proof of delivery and I was denied any compensation. Not only this but the hours of frustration spent all for nothing was unbelievable because Ava would not stand behind their own customer. I had to contact FedEx and go through a bunch of hoops. Perhaps that specific problem was internal to FedEx. I don’t know, but what I do know is that I had no choice in who the carrier was and that Avadirects website blatantly claims a signature is required for delivery. Clearly no real signature was given nor identification checked to see IF there really was a person on my property whether or not they should be eligible to sign for the product. Not only this, but I was also able to purchase parts with better warranty and get them all much sooner than the weeks of parts allocated took for their process and at a better price. Buyer beware, avadirect does not stand behind their customers. What’s really sad is the much greater amount of money they would have made by just making this right and having a loyal customer for years to come. Guess management doesn’t see that or really thing about long term profit, just how many quick onetime instances they can rip someone off. I also requested to speak with someone further up the chain in management and was denied to be able to do so as the rep stated there wasn’t a point and it wouldn’t do me any good.
