I've ordered from Monoprice in the past without any trouble. Prices are very good. The last order I placed on Tuesday was for some short Ethernet patch cables. Everything was fine until today (Thursday). Two full days after the order had been placed and charged to my credit card, I receive an email stating the item was out of stock. Seriously, it took you two days to figure that out? How is it that an online company cannot accurately know stock levels in real time? I I thought Monoprice was a large company that you could trust. They're nothing more than a two-bit operation. Order from them if you like but do so with the knowledge you may get screwed. When I contacted Monoprice (via chat) to cancel the remaining items on the order, they didn't even ask why. I think that speaks volumes.

Horrible product. Thought I got a good deal on an audio extension cable, but it echos the sounds in my headphones. Never again from this company.

On March 8th, 2018, I placed an order for a graphics tablet via Monoprice's website. Despite Monoprice's website confirming that I had made their shipping cut off for the day upon purchase (2 day shipping, guaranteed on or before March 12th, 2018), Monoprice failed to ship the item until March 11th, 2018 (they only created a shipping label on March 8th). The total shipping cost was $18.83. I attempted to contact Monoprice to resolve this issue and Monoprice refused to refund the $18.83 shipping cost. Upset that their shipping cut off time was misrepresented and that I could have made a similar purchase elsewhere, I requested to return the item. Monoprice stated that they would place a stop order on the shipment and that it would not be delivered to me. On March 15th, 2018, the package still arrived on my doorstep; I was not home to refuse the package and I am now stuck with this product after Monoprice misrepresented their shipping guarantee and state they would cancel shipping. I attempted to resolve this issue with my credit card company, PayPal, to no avail. This being said, I now need to escalate this to a Attorney General consumer complaint.

What a joke the remote i bought doesnt even work at all. Should of read the reviews first. Everyone said the same i dont know how they can legally sell them, useless.

Bought a mini delta 3d printer, It would not connect to computer through USB although advertised as a feature. Sent 4 emails asking for advice/help .two weeks and still no reply.Tried to order spare nozzle from their site, impossible as only accept US phone number (required field) on order form. email them about this problem, no reply??? Even tried to complain/bring to their notice on their Facebook page, Not posted and no reply. To be fair it does reasonable prints from SD card, after hours of adjusting settings, but a worry for long term use due to support/spares issue. UPDATE After about 15 good prints, the machine now refuses to read ANY SD card, so will not print from either USB (original problem and still no answer from support on this), or from SD card, i am now in possession of a very expensive paperweight, I have tried support again, but am not hopeful?? It seems of various discussion sites, that this is common to most MONOPRICE products ----AVOID

I’m really skeptical about my order because I was not giving a tracking number yet and I’m very upset

The worst! I bought a 4T Seagate drive from them. It arrived DOA. Sent it back. Took 2 weeks for a replacement . That too, arrived DOA. Then they refused to replace it a third time and would not refund my money. Will NEVER EVER do business with them again. Seagates are known to be very reliable so not sure how they managed to have two (probably more) bad drives in stock. Are they selling gray goods? Renovated goods? Did they drop an entire box of drives? Did they just rewrap and send me back my old one? No idea... But not reliable, not trustworth.

Expensive product (3D printer) failed just a few months after purchase and although it had a 1 year warranty it took weeks to get any response to multiple attempts to fix it. They refused to replace the one broken part and instead require I send in the whole ~12lb assembly in for work at my cost to ship their and ship back. Previously had luck with their cables but will never purchase anything from them again. Nov 8th, 2018 - just received a "please contact us" type of message about the printer if my issue hasn't been resolved. It was not resolved 10 months ago nor it is resolved now. I've moved on to another brand with out the fire hazard. Google "monoprice printer fires" or the similar "wanhao i3"for the same make that have caused house fires due to multiple flaws.
