On Nov 3rd, I placed an order and was called with information that my particular model was no longer in production. The salesperson then upsold me another model. I had second thoughts the next day and attempted to cancel the order. I was told that he would meet my objections, which was an extra warranty. Brian, the salesman offered to refund the $299 cost of the warranty. My card was immediately charged the full amount and the television arrived weeks later broken. I called to get another television and was told that it would be shipped out. I had not gotten a tracking number and the credit card was still not charged back for the warranty.

Today - a full 5 weeks later, I still have no television, but I have a tracking number. Brian the salesman informed me that my refund of 299 was only 268 because of a "restocking fee" that was never mentioned previously. No information is ever given via email, although I have sent them at least 3 emails inquiring about the status of the return and replacement. When calling, you are faced with a long wait to talk to anyone - with the exception of Julie in Customer Service, all my interactions with this company have been rude and clearly not customer focused.

For example, instead of greeting someone on the phone with "Hello this is Brian, how can I help you?" or any other typical helpful greeting, I got "Hello?" The wait on the phone to get questions answered is far too long (average 20 minutes). The customer service attitude of most of the people here is clearly in need of training. The prices are not as advertised and they charge your credit card immediately and then take far too long to ship your product. They also ship the product with a logistics company that then hands off the shipment to another party to deliver the item to you. Nobody in the chain has any customer service skills.

I highly recommend that you stay far away from this 'retailer' I will NEVER EVER buy from them again and I am so angry that I am finding every single feedback website I can to tell you about them.

STAY AWAY!!!

I am having a terrible problem with PriceMad.com I placed an order on Nov. 23 and was told it was 4-6 business days for delivery.
Today is December 6 and still, no order. Each time I call, I am given a different story. The big problem is, my credit card bill arrived yesterday. I have no idea what to do. I have never encountered this problem before and I don't know whether to protest or pay the charge. This company does not do what they say. When I attempt to go to tracking, there is nothing to indicate whether my item has been shipped or not.

I and my girlfriend went to their store yesterday (12/16/07) trying to get myself a Christmas gift. My gf's first impression was everything looked old/refurbished. I told the salesman I saw their online ad. and wanted to buy the Sony KDL-32XBR4. Then he said he wasn't responsible for online sales and would get someone to help me. After 5 minutes of waiting, I asked another person who was packing the TVs and he told me someone would come out for me shortly... So another 5 minutes had passed and I felt like I wasn't a customer to them. Their sales people were fooling around but nobody helped me. I then left with my gf. For those who get charged and are still waiting for the item I would suggest to cancel the order and dispute the charge. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!!

I've been shopping online for over 5 years now and Pricemad.com is by far the worst experience I've ever had. After placing my order for a Samsung LNT4071 I got an e-mail from them asking me to call and confirm my order. When I did that I was told that the TV I wanted was on back order but they had a newer better model available (Samsung LN40A550) which they'd ship to me for free, as a courtesy. The guy on the phone assured me that TV was a better one and that it had all the features the one I wanted to purchase initially had. The newer model was $150 more expensive but I agreed thinking I was paying for quality. They said I'd get a confirmation e-mail and a tracking number. 2 phone calls and 3 days later I get the confirmation but no tracking number. I call to ask for it and they tell me there is no tracking number on that type of shipping. The TV was delivered to me 10 days later and I could see it was a cheaper set right from the start. I called Samsung and they confirmed that this was indeed a newer model but a technologically inferior TV set. MSPR on this set was $1699 versus the $2499 TV set I initially intended to buy. I called Pricemad right away and said I wanted to return the Tv. This is when they got all rude and asked me to pay a 10% restocking fee + round trip shipping cost. The "courtesy free shipping" was $400 and the restocking fee almost 170. I told them I wasn't going to pay $570 to return it but I'd gladly pay and make arrangements to ship it back to them. I got a quote on shipping from Fedex: $110 for 3 day ground shipping - insurance included. I called Pricemad back to tell them I found cheaper shipping but they wouldn't even let me talk, the guy on the phone freaked out and started yelling at me. He went on about how they do things over there and that I had to do it their way - even though I was the one paying for it. I must have called at least a dozen times trying to reason with them and I'd get the same treatment: yelling, insults and on the last call they just hung up on me. Ultimately, I got in touch with my bank and told them the whole story and asked to put the charge in dispute. If Pricemad won't reason with me maybe they'll enjoy dealing with my bank instead!

Horrible place. Bait & Switch Shop. Offers a cheap price w/ free shipping, but then says 14-21 business day delivery...which gives them a chance to price-arb your order. In the meantime, they provide lies/excuses about impending deliveries and some fake date next week when they'll express ship it to you. It never happens. 2 months later, you'll still not have your TV. What fun. You'll cancel your order and they'll try to screw the next sucker. Buy from Amazon and pay a little more. At least it is a real price and it will come in a timely manner.

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING AT PRICEMAD. THEY ARE A SCAM.
