Hi Kyle,
We sincerely apologize for your negative experience purchasing with us through Amazon. As a small business, we have been experiencing exponential growth, particularly on our Amazon channel, due to our products' nature and demand from the pandemic. We have been experiencing consistent holiday season order volume, operating with limited staff, and Amazon holds us to a very strict timeline when it comes to fulfilling orders. Unfortunately in this situation, bandwidth did not allow for this out of stock item to be updated in a timely manner, so when you purchased it you were upgraded to what we had in stock that was most compatible in order to meet Amazon's standard.
While this is our normal practice, we rarely have to take this approach. When we do, we understand the two outcomes, either a customer is happy with their upgrade or the compatibility is off, and we will have to work with them to return or exchange the item, which we are always willing to do. Unfortunately, in your situation, it was the latter, and we completely understand your frustration around this, especially with an inoperable laptop.
Aventis Systems is a custom technology solution provider, and we always strive to put our customers and their technology environment at the forefront of our solutions. However, when listing our products on Amazon, unfortunately, our options to customize, ensure compatibility and connect with our customers regarding their purchase are almost nonexistent. We wish there was a more efficient way for us to deliver our Aventis Systems experience through Amazon, and we are investigating ways to do so.
Please know your feedback is vital to us, as it is for any small business, and we take it very seriously. We have been actively hiring new staff to help us meet demand and are meeting internally to find alternate ways to communicate our upgrade process to our customers.
We hope you will be willing to give us another chance in the future, and if you need any further assistance with your return, please do not hesitate to reach out to us again.
