A Black Friday Shopping Experience with ChicagoVPS

  • Signs that you should run from provider:
    "I have assigned your ticket to billing team" only to get the answer from the same person 1-3 days later.

    For 10 years I've had a ChicagoVPS, until a month ago. Their customer support is the worst of the worst. I bought a 1 GB RAM VPS in NY yet somehow I was provisioned a 4 GB in Los Angeles at the same price.

    The server was stable, nothing to complain about the hardware itself. It lived thru its 10 years of life with an average of >100 days of uptime.

  • The second option on Paypal dispution is "I received an item or service that was different or not as described". It's prefectly fit the situation here. Rather than directly dispute he even gived ChicagoVPS coupe of days to handle the refund.
    I don't see any excuse that ChicagoVPS could not or delay the refund.

    In this case ChicagoVPS is the one should be blamed.

    And I don't get the meanning of some posts asking where did Wills come from, providers should server everyone in the same way regardless which country they live.

    ChicagoVPS should say sorry to Wills. The way they handling this is impulsive and childish.

    Yes, its servers have no issues; it's just that the service is too poor.

    Thank you for your recognition.

    I haven't seen anyone ask where I'm from, but if someone does, I'll tell them: I'm from China.

    Such service efficiency is hard not to make people think of more.

    I have used their VPS before, and the speed and quality of service were decent. However, I don't know why, but the recent instances of their service have declined in quality. Especially, the experience I encountered during this Black Friday was extremely disappointing. What's more, the VPS I purchased this time had higher configurations and prices, yet the service was worse. I cannot comprehend this.

    Is this company related to Hudson Valley host? They have run very very very similar deals in the past at the same time, and I have noticed the quality of both companies to be poor for the last decade or so. I am not renewing any of my services.

    They were much better and went downhill starting about 2014ish.

    You said in the ticket that you expected the VPS to be automatically started, but that's not a best practice as the VPS won't be secure out-of-the-box (so you really only want to manually start it once you're ready to configure it)

    Mentioning the US constitution in a refund ticket is a bit much, though.

    Yes. I also think it's sort of funny that someone would go to a company named CHICAGOvps to get a VM in Los Angeles.

    A lot of their servers are in Buffalo and Los Angeles... I don't know how many they even have in Chicago ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Absolutely no refunds is a tyrannical policy. The no-refund provision should be based on the premise of instant delivery, where payment and delivery occur simultaneously.

  • perhaps you're right

    It's a translation thing, they basically mean "ready to go in the panel" aka properly delivered

  • Why ChicagoVPS not in chicago?

    It's true, thank you for supporting me. Anyway, I have received the refund. I'm posting this to document the process for others to reference.

    This is due to language habits, as mentioned by @fluffernutter. The actual meaning is 'deliver' or 'set up.' I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the misunderstanding. Sorry.

    I mentioned the US Constitution to remind businesses that consumers have the legal right to protect their interests.

    You're absolutely right.

    Maybe its owner likes Chicago.
