My one experience over the last few days follows the pattern of the other bait-and-switch outfits reported here ... cryptic email suggesting the order wouldn't be sent out unless I called to confirm ... very difficult to reach ... finally reached them only to hear the most rediculous barrage of deceptions, lies and high pressure tactics ... none of the advertised claims were honored, prices changed, all sorts of extra stuff was "required" ... when I said I wanted the stuff listed on the receipt that I obtained at order time at the price listed and nothing else, they said their "express" delivery would take over two weeks. It was clear they had no intention of selling the goods at the advertised price and terms.
I asked whether they wanted me to cancel. "We don't need this trauma" was the reply. I felt the same way and we were in agreement for the first time. 20 minutes later I bought the camera (Canon PowerShot S2 IS) at the local Best Buy for the price reputable dealers are charging online.
This is my first thoroughly rotten online purchase experience. I didn't even check reports beforehand (I clearly should have), since I've been buying stuff online for years without problems. I've documented all aspects of the transaction in case a credit card charge is subsequently put throught, but I doubt it will happen. What a bunch of jerks and what a waste of time. Avoid them at all costs!
