Boise, Idaho, November 15, 2012 - Crucial.com, a leading online retailer specializing in computer memory (DRAM) upgrades and solid state drives (SSD), was awarded the 2012 Bizrate Circle of Excellence Platinum Award for customer satisfaction as rated by their own verified customers. Shopzilla's coveted award honors online retailers that receive top scores in seven key indicators of customer satisfaction and of those winners, only those that score the highest level of ratings receive the prestigious platinum award.
Shopzilla, an online portfolio of e-commerce brands that reaches over 40 million shoppers per month, determines the winners of the Bizrate Circle of Excellence by aggregating the customer feedback collected annually through its free Bizrate Insights Buyer Survey. Crucial.com's distinction as a platinum winner was shared by less than 1% of the over 5,200 retailers included in the Bizrate Insights Network in North America. The Circle of Excellence winners in Shopzilla's United Kingdom, French, and German Networks are expected to be announced later this year.

- Point of Sale Measurements
- Overall Satisfaction
- Product Selection
- Ease of Finding What the Customer is Looking For
