Stay away from Bestware and XMG
I purchased a new XMG Sector from Bestware at the beginning of March, and the entire experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. It started with the payment—after completing it, I received no confirmation or acknowledgment. I had to call multiple times before they finally sent a payment confirmation over a week later.
There was no communication about the delivery timeline either—I had to reach out myself to find out when it would arrive. When the PC finally showed up, the real problems began. Although I paid for a pre-installed version of Windows, the machine arrived without any OS. After spending over four hours trying to install it, I discovered that the installation files were corrupted. I ended up having to create my own USB installation disk.
Even after that, the system kept crashing with a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). Diagnostics pointed to a faulty graphics card, and the Wi-Fi performance was abysmal. I requested a replacement, but instead of honoring that, they only offered a refund. I agreed to return the machine, but the UPS pickup link they provided didn’t work. I reported the issue and requested a new link—after a full week, I still hadn’t received a response. When I finally got through on the phone—after 40 minutes on hold—I was told they still didn’t have a working return link.
Bestware has proven incapable of building a functioning PC, fulfilling basic order requirements, or complying with European Consumer Law. They ignored my right to a replacement and failed to facilitate a proper return within the 14-day window. I’ve had to involve legal support to get any traction.
In my opinion, Bestware has gone from being a reputable brand to an amateur operation. Based on my experience, I strongly advise others to stay away.
