Well, I'm glad I went looking for this. I placed an order with them and requested 3 day shipping, hoping it would arrive in time for the weekend after Valentines Day. The order was placed on the 10th of February, it's now the 22nd of February (2008). It wouldn't normally have bothered me at all that it hadn't shown up yet, since orders can take time to be filled and shipping can often become problematic. I did receive an order confirmation email, but it was actually the first thing to trip my alarm. The confirmation email doesn't give any of their contact numbers; it tells you to find them on the website. Why would there be any need for this unless you didn't want people to contact you? The contact numbers were well hidden in an unrelated section and not given a heading. I of course didn't go looking for them until I realized something was amiss: a few days after the order I noted the complete lack of an email with tracking information.
No tracking information has arrived to date. I called the 1-866 number and rang through to a full voicemail box. A day or two after that I decided to increase my effort, I sent out an email detailing my issue, I also called them at 3:00 PM EST, 5:00 PM EST, and 7:00 PM EST, on both of their listed numbers. All six calls went to the full voicemail box. Seven days later I have yet to receive a response to my email.
From what I?ve read here this is the norm, not the exception. Most people don?t bother to intentionally seek out review sites. The reviews you see are usually sort of a tip of the ice burg scenario. If there are this many negative reviews in that tip, then there must be hundreds of other unsatisfied customers.
The charge was placed on my card on the 13th of February. Clearly they can process your money efficiently, but not your order, your calls, or your emails. I will be calling the bank tomorrow to have the money credited back before they have the chance to make excuses.
Pros: None
Cons: Avoid Avoid Avoid - They won't ship your item, but they will charge you for it.
