Sold me a cloud-only switch that is still registered in the previous owner's account, meaning that it is considered STOLEN by the manufacturer. Refused to provide a refund, then blocked me when I demanded they exchange the item with one that is not blacklisted! They may be selling stolen merchandise! Stay away! read more

You want your data destroyed? Take it here. It's as simple as driving up, unloading, watching them pull out hard drives (if that's what you're bringing them) then walking it back and watching them grind it up. read more

3R Technology - What 40 years of personal and client data looks like when ground up. - Computers Near Me - Kent, Washington

Been coming in sporadically to check this place out since I moved here, but haven't actually bought anything until recently. Customer service is still amazing, selection is good and changes daily, and prices are great for complete systems. I think the best deals they have are for Apple items. Computer components are hit or miss on price as sometimes you can find new products for less online. Their recycling drop-off, two bays over is pretty quick and easy. Just ring the bell, wait for someone to come out, exchange pleasantries, and be on your way! read more

I was able to leave two microwaves that are not working at this location. Very grateful but they will be fixed and possibly re-sold instead of ending up at the dump. Thank you! read more

They made it very easy to recycle old hardware and dispose of old data. Witnessing my hard drives being shredded was cathartic.

If you are interested in second hand enterprise gear, for really great prices, all with a 30 day warranty, all with a 10% student discount then this is the place for you! I got my first server (Dell PowerEdge R710) from their other location. Upon visiting this location, I was even more amazed! They had so much stuff it was a bit overwhelming! Recently, I got an HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 with duel 8 core Xeons (x2 E5-2670's) and 384GB of ECC RAM--for only $249 with their sale! The RAM alone is probably worth double what we paid for it! Incredible! And to top that off, the staff are extremely friendly and will help you and answer any questions you might have. They also throw in a lot of deals. For example, if you buy a server, then they will take 50% off of any drives (used) if you buy any. read more

I had an old computer that was so crappy I was embarrassed to give it to even Good Will. Not wanting to just throw it away, I was in search of a place to recycle it. 3R Technology to the rescue! They not only recycled my computer/monitor for free, they even took a whole slew of dead batteries and disposed of them in a safe environmentally friendly way. Another pet peeve of mine is throwing away Styrofoam. What a waste! Instead of filling up your garbage can with it, bring Styrofoam to 3R and they can reuse it! Reduce-Reuse-Recycle! read more

Needed a place to get some old electronics shredded, and they were great. Even provided a certificate of destruction. Highly recommend this place. read more

This place is amazing! All your technology needs under one roof. The prices are very reasonable. I was able to purchase a nicely used 22" monitor for $10 and a computer mouse for $1.99. The staff was friendly and willing to offer assistance. This is great for anyone having to make last minute adjustments to working from home (during the Covid19 outbreak). Reduce, reuse, recycle! read more

I need to purchase a replacement computer for my conference room. 3R Technology had the best value and shipping was fast. Also, I wanted to give kudos to their excellent customer service. Greg read more

I've patronized this place since they were located in a basement office in Pioneer Square. Since then they have grown and I've followed them to their warehouse location in SODO and to their latest digs in Georgetown! If you don't need the latest and greatest in computer gear this place is really hard to beat in price. I've purchased many things over the years like computer systems, monitors, hard drives and memory. I like to be environmentally responsible and keeping things out of the landfill when purchasing things. Plus I keep my dollars in the local economy and save some dough to boot! If there is something you are looking for, drop them a ring and a helpful and very knowledgeable staff member will be happy to help you! _________________________ | | | __________________ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |_________________ | | | | | | | ______ | | |_____ | | | | |_________________________| | | |______________________ | APPLE MACINTOSH 128K read more

Unbelievable customer service. Was helped by Scott and he was an absolute pleasure to do business with. Came to 3R to recycle batteries for my company and was so pleased with the experience that I decided to use my personal Yelp account to review them. Looking forward to working with them in the future! read more

I've used these guys for e-recycling for a couple of years now, but recently I did some shopping at their retail store. I like to find a great bargain, and these guys have the deals, it's worth checking them out. I actually found my deal via Craigslist! Prices are great, found a couple a pieces I had looked for on Ebay, but found a better deal here, and didn't have to wait for shipping. Staff were very helpful and friendly, speedy check out and just enough parking. read more

What's not to like about an ethical electronics recycling outift like 3R Technology. I dropped off an old laptop fan there and learned that they take all kinds of old electronics gear as part of the E-cycle Washington program. None of the donated electronics gets shipped off to some other place. All of the materials stay local and recycled the right way. I was greeted by super friendly staff who were just upbeat and happy to answer any questions I had. They have a few aisles of refurbished (they have a repair tech/tester on staff) computer electronics and audio visual electronics for cheap. One of the staff members mentioned that from time to time, they receive some real nuggets of gold as people offload their expensive gaming computer accessories so check back and you might find something cool for a bargain. They get the five star rating because: a) it was super easy to drop off electronics recycling b) Down to earth and friendly staff c) It's a good cause. read more

Quick, simple, and straight to the point! All you need to do is drive up, get out of your car, walk up to the door, ring the bell and someone comes out. No questions were asked and all that were said was "thank you, and have a good day" read more

Can't get easier than that! Took bunch of old and broken electronics over today to recycle them. Never had to step inside the building. Just back up to the loading dock and ring a bell and a couple of guys came out to take my stuff. Had to sign a simple form for recycling a TV, but that took about 30 seconds. I was in and out in less than 2 minutes. This is great! read more

I bought a used monitor and some speakers here for my PS4. The staff were helpful and even checked in the back room for a 4ms connection so my game didn't lag. You should know what you're looking for when you come here and be prepared to sort through older equipment but the prices can't be beat. ~$50 for the 22" monitor and $10 for computer speakers that have pleasantly surprised me. Their return policy is 3 days I think. read more

They're also a good place to go if you want to buy used computer equipment. They've got a small warehouse of desktops, laptops, servers, routers, switches, printers, hard drives, network cards, cables, power surges, etc. The prices are pretty good. There's a 2 week warranty on computers. I bought an older HP desktop to use as a Linux firewall/router for $70. It came with 1GB of RAM, a 2.6GHz CPU and a 40GB hard drive. I've had it up and running for about 3 weeks with no problems. The inventory just depends on what they can find, so if you're looking for something specific you should probably call ahead. They're right off the a bus line, and not too far from the light rail. The entrance is on the east side of building. read more

What an amazing place!! It's basically where electronics go to die, and then get reincarnated as someone else's baby. The store is a total treasure trove. If you need something, just show up and ask if they have it. 3R takes parts from all the big guys (Amazon, Microsoft) and refurbishes them so that they can find a good home with you and avoid the landfill. You also get $10 off if you check-in via Yelp, foursquare, Facebook, etc. Best part of the store: the guys that work there are funny, knowledgeable and totally radically geeky, my favourite people. They'll even throw in a deal or two if you buy a ton of stuff. Laptops are currently 10% off, but I'm sure there are ongoing sales. read more

I work in the networking industry and spend my days designing and building global backbones and large scale datacenters. I'm pretty particular about the gear I deploy for my personal and home networks and generally prefer industrial/commercial/enterprise grade equipment. As you can imagine, that type of gear usually doesn't come cheap. Luckily, tech-refresh cycles can force equipment that once cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars while new back into the market at pennies on the dollar in the form of reuse and recycled resale. The unfortunate part is finding them. 3RTechnology is one of the few places I've found where I can source the quality of gear I'm accustomed to working with for my own personal use. There's plenty of life left in them. They certainly offer more performance than much of the new stuff on the consumer market yet costs less. read more

Came in on Jan 1, looking for a gaming computer set up. Had great service from a future airline pilot. Not only did we go through a couple boxes. He did some troubleshooting and in all put together a sweet box with an upgraded graphics card. Next day...I brought my buddy Edward H back and he got taken care of with a nice Apple MacBook Pro. read more

Great service, great deals!! Peter was awesome and the deals were awesome. Got a great deal, found what I needed and walked out feeling like my money was well spent!!! read more

Not your normal computer guys. These guys are not Best Buy computer "experts" and are not your typical snooty computer tech. They are helpful and know their stuff. Low key, not pressured at all they allowed me to walk around and just browse for a long time. I've bought a number of products from 3R, both laptops I've owned and my desktop at home all great products for very cheap. I returned a laptop due to a dim screen and they were able to do a direct exchange with the same model and got it all working while I was there. Parking is hard and traffic can be a problem but the value and service there is well worth it! Check out the store. read more

it doesn't really get any better than this when it comes to finding computer hardware bargains. I feel like the proverbial kid in a candy store whenever I am inside and linger much longer than I intend to. There are some good deals to be had for sure. Just don't forget that all of the equipment is used and may get bricked at any time. That's gonna be true of any place dealing in used equipment. The staff is friendly and helpful and seem to be good folks. Whenever I am at 3R Technology I am as happy as a little girl! read more

I am extremely impressed with the professionalism of 3R Technology Solutions. My customer service experience from beginning to end was top notch. I have used other electronic recycling companies in the past and after finding 3R Technology, I will not be going any where else for my recycling needs. The staff at 3R are friendly, professional and honest. I highly recommend 3R Technology Solutions for all of your electronic recycling needs. read more

I've been looking for a official original Apple USB keyboard for a while now, at least a few months, and somehow stumbled on 3R. Wow. They have a little of everything. Hard drives. Memory. Keyboards. USB phone chargers. Wireless routers. You name it. I will absolutely come back here again. Awesome people working here too! read more

These guys are wonderful. I purchased a computer from them that ended up having some sort of glitch. However, I reached out to Charles, who was super professional and helpful. My computer ended up being replaced free of charge. They made the return process super easy (I live in Chicago and had to mail it in) and the computer I now have works great with zero issues. I'm so thankful to 3R Technologies for working with me. They are a wonderful business that both believes in environmental sustainability and recycling/reusing old machines, and also stands by its clients - thank you! read more

After a move across the country and a desperate need for some essentials, I contacted 3R Technology for a computer, TV and monitors. 3R was so personable and helpful and got me connected with exactly what I needed to start my new home back here in Washington. I was so relieved to be able to find electronics that worked and were affordable with my limited budget. These guys are great! read more

I've done business with them a couple of times now, and I really enjoy the experience. They're super-friendly, their items are always as advertised (or even better) and did I mention they're really friendly? In today's world of "we don't care, we don't have to" it's a pleasant experience to deal with a vendor who feels they DO need to care. ADDENDUM: Four years later (2015), still doing business with these folks, and I wish I could give them another star. read more

I like everything this company stands for ...........They Reuse, Re market, and Recycle ! And when I went there to buy a "new computer", I found exactly what I was looking for thanks to John Hilbert. He could have sold me a real whizz-bang computer .......they have plenty of them. But he stuck to my simple needs and picked out a computer that has me over the moon with joy ! Thanks so much for everything you do ! 5 Stars from Rosalie Vennetti Seattle, Wa. read more

I found this place looking for used overhead projectors for art projects on Craigslist. It was a bit hard to find but when I parked and went up to the building there was already a sign telling me that this company was on the other side of the building, and parking was fine (and free!) there. It's very industrial looking and not a welcoming retail store, but it was still easy to get to. Everyone, and I mean everyone I saw was super friendly (in a genuine way) and nice--from the guy loading inventory from a truck to the guys in the warehouse and the guy behind the desk. They had my projector on hold since I had emailed them about it earlier that day (and got very timely replies) and were happy to show me around the rest of the place. There is a ton of stuff (refurbished electronics) all there and it actually seems like a way cool place to just go look around and shop at, whether you have anything in mind or not! Everything was in great condition and some of the stuff didn't seem like it had ever even been used. Superior customer service and their massive stock at good prices make me comfortable to say this place rocks!! read more

I have been shopping 3R for Many years, Never have they let me down. Best prices and deals in town. Clean and neat with lots of things to choose from ready to go. I am happy to sent others to shop there, I know they will be treated fairly. I just think they are head and shoulders above the rest. Thank you 3R. read more

I have a geeky kid with a slight addiction to Minecraft. For his 12th birthday the idea was floated around the extended family to get him a computer. Instead of getting him a new computer, a friend suggested we should check out 3R Technology and their array of used computers because surely one would meet his needs. And, how! The guys at 3R took some time to figure out which would be the best one for a kid who likes to play games and watch YouTube videos about those games. I was able to get him an extravagant birthday present for a far less than extravagant price. I love the fact that they have a 30 day warranty if something should go wrong. Usually you know within 30 days if something is going to tank or not. 3R has the friendliest staff imaginable. They are nowhere near as intimidating as other computer shops in town where you have to speak geek in order to get good service. More than that, though, I am now sold on the concept of reusing and recycling computer and electronic equipment. We are being spoon-fed the idea that we constantly need to upgrade and buy newer, better, faster while the old products just sit around or, worse, end up in the landfill. I am rejecting that notion. Sign me up for the custom track suit and shoes, fellas. read more

Well, I found you on CL and have kept going back. Thanks Paul for everything. E mailed after I saw an ad, got a response back in an hour, Was able to drill down on inventory to what I wanted and need and when I stopped by the shop Paul went through what was in stock and pricing w/me. I really appreciate the CUSTOMER SERVICE and am sharing you with all my friends. From X-boxes to notebooks and everything in between, you've got it. Thank you so much! read more

So my new XP machine has the old 110gb hard drive, which I just realized is about 90% full. So I go down to pick up another one, and they sold me a 200gb drive for $20. I coulda had a 500gb for $50, but it took me eight or ten years to fill up the first one . . . these guys are awesome! read more

This place ROCKs! I've gotten great deals on so many random things (mac keyboards, mouse, etc) and the people who work there are so nice, helpful and polite. If you need something specific you can just call them to see if they have it available. read more

I suspect this outs me as a bit of a geek but I love this place. Its selection is vast, Macs PCs and weird stuff on occasions that makes every visit interesting. Normally I would search Craigs list for things like keyboard or an old laptop, why this is better is because unlike craigslisters the prices here reflect the true market value of the item. I just bought a (it looked new) replacement Apple keyboard for $10. Its not the latest design but people were asking $20 to $25 for the same design on CL. They aren't that mac savvy but I found their service to be very helpful. All purchases come with a 30 day warranty. I like this place read more

This is a great place to recycle your old computer or pick up a refurbished one. They have a big selection of different components, even servers and network stuff. Website for more info on what they do at http://www.3rtechnology.com. Friendly folks, they were really helpful when I needed to find some memory and a bigger hard drive for my old computer. Prices were very reasonable. Definitely cheaper than RE-PC. Thanks! read more

We live down in Tacoma and only manage to make it to 3R about once every other month. I felt compelled to write this review after seeing William C's 1-star review of 3R. I made a Yelp account just so I could get on here and let the world know how much I love this company. 3R Technology has gone above and beyond my expectations every time I have dealt with them. They are incredibly knowledgeable about the equipment they sell and have always given me great advice. I'm currently running my entire small business off of systems from 3R and I've never had a single issue with their hardware or there service. Who else can you even think of that has a 30-day return window for this kind of stuff? All the places in my town only offer 7-day returns. Some of them are similar to Re-Pc and have no return policy on used equipment at all. In my experiences with 3R everyone there knows their stuff. I've had some obscure hardware needs in the past and 3R has either been able to help me with my needs or point me in the direction of someone who can. Bottom line - I love 3R read more

I needed a Macbook computer shell that was compatible with a 2008 hard drive, and Nick got me set up and out of there in 15 minutes for a reasonable price. Great service, knowledgable and the best prices in town, almost half the price of the next closest place. Highly recommended! read more
