Complaint Review: Allied Semiconductor

I am the owner operator of a computer company in Utah. I make my living by taking care of my customers to the best of my ability. I usually am successful in doing so as my normal wholesalers generally meet the expectations they set and thusly I meet the expectations I set for my clients. This was not the case when I had dealings with Allied Semiconductors. I too gave Allied an opportunity to earn my business in a very similar fashion to you. They called me month after month for the first three years we were in business and I told them time after time I was not interested. Eventually, I came across a situation where they had a product my normal supplier did not have in stock. They told me they had one in stock and I could get free shipping on my first order. I told them I would gladly pay for shipping if they would overnight it. They said there was one of the boards in stock and I would have it the next day. They charged my card and I waited for the board to arrive. I continued to wait and to this day the board has never arrived. I called to follow up on it and was passed from one person to another and eventually tossed into voicemail. I called back and talked to Jordan, the supervisor of Damien the sales guy that made the promises that were never kept. He told me he would take care of it and I would see the charges reversed within 24 - 72 hours. A week went by and still no credit was posted. Long story short, I have eventually had to contact my bank and file a fraud form. Now it is in the law's hands. If I have learned anything from this situation it is this Allied Semiconductor is a group of scammers who will take your money and never send the product you order. I will never deal with them again. Back to the irony of the whole deal, they still call me periodically to ask me if I would be willing to do business with them. The answer is still no. Once bitten twice shy. So, if Allied approaches you in an attempt to earn your business, tell them NO. They are not a reputable business. They will give you the run around and never honor their word. That's my rant. I sure hope it saves someone else the hassles and time I have wasted on them.
