Often, friends are your trusted vendor source. While it may seem an impossible task to identify the best place to buy, BizRate, a shopping and product comparison site, provides store ratings and has awarded OWC the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bizrate.com\/ratings_guide\/merchant_detail__mid--17806.html\" target=\"_blank\">BizRate Gold Circle of Excellence<\/a> for five consecutive years.<\/p>\n<p>We tell you what other customers are saying about us with monthly <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/Service\/Comments.cfm\" target=\"_blank\">Customer Comments<\/a>, right on the site. If that doesn&#8217;t warm your heart, than look to unsolicited blogs, written by a couple of Mac devotees.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in his post, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/jordansatok.com\/2009\/doing-it-right\/\" target=\"_blank\">Doing It Right<\/a><\/em>, Jordan Satok notes how seamlessly things progressed when he ordered a 1.0TB drive from us, even though it was a holiday weekend.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/yaygrrrr.blogspot.com\/2009\/04\/newertech-vantec-guid-problem-solved.html\" target=\"_blank\">Larry Yaeger<\/a>, Professor of Informatics at Indiana University, purchased multiple NewerTech Voyager Q hard drive docking stations that had the same FireWire ID numbers. He resolved his problem with a call to NewerTech technical support. OWC resolved the whole problem by initiating an ID fix within hours of hearing about the problem. Incidentally, Larry&#8217;s calls to another vendor&#8217;s support department went unanswered.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you email, call, or request assistance on our web site, OWC&#8217;s tech support team handles every request with Miss Manner\u2019s decorum. How many companies offer free lifetime U.S. based technical support \u2014 even on weekends? We do and we&#8217;re proud to offer you great products, at reasonable prices, with a full complement of support services. I know that I like their products and service so much, I now work for OWC!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can buy products from a variety of sites across the Net; but often you have to blindly trust that the company will honor the warranty, provide timely customer service, or replace problem products.
