I am one of many very unhappy BlueHippo customers. I unlike many did receive my computer but not without a run-a-round that would exhaust a marathon competitor. My nightmare began mid 2007 with a late night order to BlueHippo, with hopes of collecting, research, and retaining information for a future business I had in mind. After dealing with BlueHippo for months the dream of starting my own company was washed out with the despicable and fraudulent acts of this second party computer distributor.
The same happened to me as so many others but I took it to the public. I closed my checking account, published a paid add in our local paper searching for other victims, called the BBB in MN and Baltimore, MD, called the police and an attorney, then the Attorney General's office in both MN and MD. I kept records of every action I took and then sent it all to BlueHippo's Head office.
After speaking to the Attorney General in Maryland I'd found out BlueHippo had just settled a case via the Attorney General's office with just over 300 unhappy customers. She had encouraged me to get my info into her office ASAP, as well as anyone else from my area because the next case was already being worked on and soon to be filed. She emphasized quickness because she believed BlueHippo was preparing to move out of Maryland. After contacting BlueHippo about my newly collected info, three weeks later my computer was at my door step via DHL delivery.
The delivery was six weeks after my checking account was closed. Although I never received all the extras I did have the computer and I have never heard from BlueHippo again. I say this because what was going to be a $2100 purchase turned into an $800 purchase, and although I had signed a contract they found out I could still collect through the AG's office for breach of contract on their part.
Don't think you can't collect call the Attorney General's Office in Maryland. I would love to know how you made out. Good luck and God Bless!
