How do I get started? |
|
The first step is to fill out our Express Credit Application after selecting a product. This will not obligate you to buy anything. It will simply give our finance company access to your credit info, which will allow us to come up with a price quote and financing proposal for the system you want. You will only need to fill this out once and it will be saved in you your user profile. You can update this information at anytime! |

Why must I complete a credit application to get a quote? |
|
All of our sales are financed, and your financing proposal depends on your credit info, how you pay your bills, your discharge date, your spouse's employment, etc. Once our finance company has established your credit limit, we can offer you a suitable price quote and financing proposal. Bad Credit? No Credit? NO PROBLEM! We will finance you a computer with zero money down, low monthly payments and help you rebuild credit! |

After I apply, what do I need to do? |
|
After you apply, you will be prompted to log-in to the control panel and view your pending orders. After you click to view the details, you will see the steps you need to take to complete: Submit Your LES, Submit Your EFT, and Create and Submit Your Allotment Info.
A representative will contact you via phone or e-mail to assist you through the entire buying process. You will receive a proposal confirming the specifications of the computer you desire, and a price quote based on your credit approval. When messages are available in your control panel, you will receive an Email notification. |

How long does the entire process take? |
Credit approval usually takes only a day, and the rest of your paperwork can be completed in one or two days. Your computer is then built, tested and shipped after we receive your LES, NET EFT, and Allotment. You can prevent unnecessary delays by making sure you've supplied us with all the necessary paperwork; for a list of what we need from you visit: Allotment |

Can I get financing despite bad credit or no credit? |
|
Our financing has never been easier. When we began shipping to APO/FPO addresses over 10 years ago, our finance company denied 5 to 10 percent of all credit applications. But we consistently satisfied our customers, and they responded with prompt payments. Thanks to this outstanding record, our finance company today approves more than 99 percent of all our applicants-and offers most of them one year interest-free. |

How many payments will I have to make? |
|
That's entirely up to you. We require only that you pay a monthly minimum. If you'd like to pay more, or even pay off your entire balance in one shot, you're free to do so without any penalty whatsoever. As long as there's room on your credit limit, you can easily add upgrades and other purchases to your account. |
| |
|
| 7. |
Why do you need relative references? |
|
Relative references enable our finance company to get in touch with those rare customers who do not fulfill their payment agreements. We require three such references, no exceptions. You must tell us each relative's relationship to you (brother, sister, etc.) and provide us with their address and phone number. Your spouse may be listed as a reference. You may include your spouse’s relatives as references only if your spouse is a co-applicant. |

How will my computer be shipped, and how long will it take to reach me? |
|
Normal delivery time is 7-14 days. However, please keep in mind that delays occasionally do occur. Although we can offer every assurance that we will build and send your computer promptly, once it's in the hands of the shipper we have no control over its delivery. You can help to avoid unnecessary delays by providing accurate and up-to-date shipping information on your application. If your package doesn't arrive within two weeks, please contact us and we will try to resolve the problem, providing it originates at our end. If our records show that the item was already shipped, we'll provide you with tracking numbers so that you can contact the shipper and have them track down the item, if possible. Shipments that aren't going to military overseas addresses are sent via UPS. An advantage of buying a computer from 800HighTech.com is that we ship to any APO address anywhere in the world. To do so, we must use the U.S. Postal Service and the Military Postal Service, which has no tracking system. However, all shipments are fully insured, so there is no risk of financial loss in the unlikely event that an item should be mislaid en route. In such a case, we'll simply replace your computer once you've filed a claim with the USPS. One final note: To accommodate the speakers, gaming systems are shipped in three boxes. It's not unusual for these boxes to get separated during shipment and arrive on different days-so if you don't receive all of them at once, please allow a few more days for the rest to arrive. |

What if I apply and never receive a response from you. Have I been denied credit? |
|
Absolutely Not! Every applicant gets an e-mail response from the representative handling his application within 24 hours of applying everyday of the week except Sunday. If you do not get a call or an e-mail then either you don’t have a phone or you are blocking our e-mails. Some of you have your phone blocked too. We call and here “Do not accept calls from strangers”. If you want to be contacted please make sure you can receive calls or e-mail from us. |

|
