Netresult gave me my money back
I am obliquely mentioned in another hugely negative review, I note that Netresult declares my experience to have been ‘completely untrue’. I think the record needs to be set straight. I considered Nick Bell an IT expert and, more than that, a friend for 20 years. I had no hesitation in recommending him to another friend, whose experience has since also netted Netresult a 1-star. I’d selected Netresult to replace my ageing server, and we agreed on a new high-spec DELL. It was paid upfront, eventually arrived, and was duly set up, but it kept crashing. On close examination, we found that while the server box was new, someone had swapped out the CPU and installed a 4-year old alternative. Someone had installed the wrong RAM; this was 5-years old and too slow for the motherboard. It turns out my requested (and paid for) Enterprise discs weren’t Enterprise at all; they are sold off the shelf at PC-world. I complained. On the day I complained, someone installed unlicensed spyware on my server. Netresult afterwards declared they did this, and it was their common practice so they could ‘keep an eye on things’. They offered to give me a new storage carousel to make up for the Enterprise disc ‘confusion’. But I got my money back, sent them the server back to Mould, heaven knows who got it now. Since Nick Bell relocated this business to Mould, he was clearly happy to sell out a 20-year relationship just to quick buck on aged components. I was stunned. We bought a replacement directly from DELL, it came with the specified CPU, plus the correct RAM, and yes, my Enterprise discs too, and it was still £940 cheaper than Netresult had charged us. As a customer, the problem you have, is that unless you are an IT expert, you will never know. Like me, you will think you can trust your 20-year friendship. And then you find you cannot. I regret recommending Netresult. I wouldn’t have bothered posting my experience, I got my money back, should that incorrect statement not have been made to the other 1-star review. I thought I was a friend, I thought I could trust them, I was shown to be wrong.
