+1 Let them know why so they have the opportunity to address it - either with you now, or to carry that knowledge forward to other customers. If someone else can benefit from the problems you went though, that's a win of some sort.

At the very least, you have nothing to lose by letting him know. And/or, if you're getting a new reseller see if you can get help from them in returning it, explaning the situation...

The switch I ordered was from the 3COM line, and the reseller assumed (very wrongly) that the series in question is being retired by HP. It is not. So the reseller ordered the wrong switch and I caught it once I was about to sign the purchase order. But yes, I told the reseller of the error, and it's taking forever. I'll take blame, but I'm not cool with a simple return taking four month. I can't tell if this an HP or reseller issue, though. Little does the reseller know this is the *last* business he'll do with me. >>> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> 12/13/2011 3:05 PM >>> I agree with Ben. I may have some issues with our reseller (usually bad quotes), CDW, but I've never had an issue with them refusing to issue an RMA. Switch-wise the only issue I had was when he quoted me a ProCurve and sent me a re-labeled 3com. > From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> > Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2011 14:38:53 -0500 > Subject: Re: Anyone using Dell switches > To: > [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> > > On Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 9:30 AM, Tom Miller > <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > My reseller sent me the wrong model, and months have gone by > > and HP is putting up a fuss about returning it ... > > Why is that your problem and not the reseller's? > > Our reseller sends us the wrong model, the reseller takes it back > and sends us the right one.
