I wired $7881 to him so that he could order a Naim HDX player. Before he did so, I called to say I had changed my mind and not to proceed with the order, which I left as a voicemail and followup with voicemail. He claimed the next day he had already sent in the order. Later after weeks of being incommunicado I reached him and he admitted he had not sent in...

After purchasing an extended warranty for a product a purchased through A & B Sound and the product broken down. The Walker Group invented a story that they could not get parts to repair my product and would therefore refund the money I paid for the extended warranty instead of replacing the unit. After finding out that the replacement parts are indeed...

It appears that there are several electronics warehouses in Brooklyn, NY. Digitalet is one of them. From the content of other complaints on other websites about electronics warehouses in Brooklyn, it would not surprise me if they are all owned and operated by the same person/people. Digitalet has a website and is an Ebay power seller. Over 95% of the...

After seeing an ad for GeorgeUry.com in Shutterbug magazine, I decided to check out the website. Although clearly laid out by someone with very limited web-building knowledge, George had some great prices on used camera lenses--one of which caught my eye immediately. Since he didn't have an option to order online (instead preferring to do order-by-phone...

I ordered a replacement remote control for my daughter's Panasonic tv. The communications by www.remotecontrolsinc.com is awful. After weeks of not receiving the remote, I emailed them repeatedly and also completed the online 'contact us' form. If you call, they never, never answer. The email replies were standard form letters. They offered no attempt...

Do not waste your time placing an order with this unethical company. I spoke to Vincent Gallo x210 then later Mike MacCormik. Both were extremely rude, essentially saying that I was an "idiot" and "needed to figure things out" because I wasn't taking their bait for the Upsell. In short, they list deals on their website that they don't actually sell. Once you spend the time placing the order they try to upsell you. SCAM!!!

On Dec 4. 2006 I bought into the order of 4 capsules of coffee for $107. with a free coffee machine plus shipping. Well the idea that nothing comes for free...

The facts: I ordered a Fuji Finepix E550 from Red Tag Savings assuming it was new for Christmas 2005. When I received it the box was not a Fuji box but a nondescript box...

I have had many GE appliances in the last 11 years, but after my experience in the last three years I will not purchase a GE model appliance again. A 6-year old dryer started chewing up clothes. When service looked at the unit, they said it is more cost effective to replace than repair. So I did. The Profile washer at 4 1/2 years old, started leaking water...
