Hello, and thank you for viewing this thread. I bought what is called a switch (acts like a internet router, but can handle many more connections) for $500. This switch was to be used for hosting servers on the internet. I colocated (when you ship hardware to a datacenter to be hosted on the internet) to a company in New York City, and we had a dispute, and ended our contract, or they did at least. I was paying $435/mo for my services.

The company is failing to send me my switch back without trying to gain profit. He is charging $50 for shipping and handling for something that weighs 12 lbs, which is rediculous, and it is obvious that he is trying to gain a profit, which I do not agree with as I shipped the box and the styrofone along with the switch, and all he has to do is get it out of the datacenter (building where servers are hosted at) and ship it back to me. It isn't hard. As well, this $50 fee was not stated in the contract either that for the customer to receive hardware back, they must pay $50.

Now, as I originally told you, the switch cost me around $500, and I was paying him $435/mo. Because he will not ship my item back, I am wanting to place a chargeback on the first months charge of $435 to get some of my money back from what I paid for the switch ($500). (The $435 is my service fee for having it hosted in their datacenter)

I personally think this is theft, which is why I am trying to get my moneys worth by filing the chargeback against the $435 first months service charge.

What do you think about this?

Below is the contract:
