Horrible customer service

Bought a desktop with 32GB of ram. One of the 16GB sticks was DOA. Both BestBuy and ASUS would not do anything about it except require an exchange of the whole computer. Had spent 6 hours setting up the computer and another 3 trying to get them to exchange just the faulty stick. $50 value is not worth the time to do all that again, but they don't care. That's their intention is that if they make it inconvenient to replace, then most customers will just buy another out of their own pocket. Spoke with CSR at ASUS. He was hard to speak to, constantly forgot our conversation, slow speaking and was overall unhelpful and ineffective. Most of the blame lays with ASUS (and bestbuy) on this one, but at least if you're going to put a firewall of CSRs between you and your angry customers, hire competent communicators.
