Re: [NF] Buyer beware! (Long)

Actually, I suspect that UPS package tracking will show that I refused delivery. I'll take a picture of that and contact my Credit Card company with the evidence so that the crooks can't say "he never sent it back". Good thing about UPS and Credit Cards, eh? Stephen the Cook wrote: Garre

Re: [NF] Buyer beware! (Long)

Happy ending (sort of). After checking with buyblue.org, I ordered the camera from Amazon yesterday and received it today via UPS. I'll be refusing receipt of the other package when it finally arrives (UPS ground from Brooklyn, NY starting Tues. AM), won't even touch the box - no prints - an

Re: [NF] Buyer beware! (Long)

I can't believe you bought something from an evil corporation, why not have someone whittle one from pine? But seriously, I only buy from someone with an extremely high bizrate rating. For electronics, Etronics.com and Buy.com have been stellar. --- Chet Gardiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >

The tricky bit is that the BBB had a record of them under about 7 or 8 different names, none of them the name I ordered from. I only found them by typing in their phone number... Tricky little devils. Pablo H Rivera Sr wrote: Well, it does serve as a place to see what other complaints have

Thanks, David. that's exactly what I was planning on doing -- I've already contacted my CC company and will refuse delivery. Thank goodness UPS tracks everything! David McKay wrote: Chet, You've probably done this already, but since you didn't mention it, here goes: Contact your credit car

RE: [NF] Buyer beware! (Long)

Well, it does serve as a place to see what other complaints have been filed about a company. Not totally a bad record to be able to access. If nobody reports scoundrels to a known, respected location, we all stand to loose another information source to educate us. My "morisquetas" for what they

Re: [NF] Buyer beware! (Long)

I agree. The BBB is paid by the business. Where do you think their loyalty is? We stopped sending money to those guys many years ago. I agree that Google is a much better way to check on the business. I wonder if Google has considered compiling credit information on companies? They could proba

Thanks. And don't get me started on Ecost.com - the most godawful customer service I believe I've ever experienced! I would not recommend buying anything from that company. Check out their listing at http://www.resellerratings.com/seller1932.html (1.01 on a scale of 10!) -Original Messag

RE: [NF] Buyer beware! (Long)

Chet, You've probably done this already, but since you didn't mention it, here goes: Contact your credit card company to dispute the charge! You can refuse delivery, thus UPS will have a continuous record of the whereabouts of the package. Don't accept it and then ship it back yourself. Sorry for
