Anyone heard of these guys?

I put in an order in early December and haven't heard anything since. No return emails.......nothing.
 
nothing at reseller ratings.com
they used an anonymous domain name registration service on Nov. 11, 2003 to register the name.
i think you got hosed.
hopefully you paid with a credit card.

edit.
welcome to anandtech.
 
they are selling 'chipped' cell phones.
they claim you get 6-12 months of free service.
yeah right. what a bunch of BS

they also have a news section dating back to July, when the site was only registed in November.
 
**PLEASE NOTE THAT SHIPPING CAN BE AS LONG AS 21 DAYS DURING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON**
lame site, but he is admitting his lame limitations also.
Shoes and "chipped" cell phones. Weird combination for a business isn?t it? What did you buy here?
 
FROM THE FAQ:
How long will my order take to get to me?
"Orders take 15 - 20 business days after the 48 hour processing period. During the slower times of the year, shipping may be much quicker."

If the domain name alone didn't drive you away, I don't know what could.

 
More weirdness from their FAQ page
How long to the burnouts (shipped phones) really last?
We have seen them last anywhere between 2 months to 1.5 years. It all depends on how quickly the chip burns out. We don't guarantee how long the product will last but we will exchange any ohone for the same device if the chip burns out in under 6 months.
 
You got to be kidding me right. You really ordered from this site. Click the featured products link and the first item you see is what appears to be a used pair of shoes on top of a beat up and battered cheap kitchen table. Photo looks to be taken with a cheap digital camera by a photographer without a clue. Please let this be a lesson to others that are not up on buying items on line!! USE RESELLERRATINGS.COM ! ! !
 
have u been charged? i'd dispute it with your cc company if you used a credit card, or with paypal if you used paypal.

Funny. I clicked on the chipped sidekick, and got the same pair of shoes. He must really want to unload those bad boys. Must not fit him, and the store won't take them back. LOL...While not the most amaturish site I have ever seen, it comes very close. I wouldn't even send that guy an email, much less, my money.

On the other hand. I really can't believe anyone would be so stupid as to order from them. Maybe the OP started this whole thread to promote the dump.

Yep, that's what I was thinking.

There seems to be more and more predators trolling for suckers and stoopids out there. Where do they get money from ????????

Man that's a nice first post. What did you buy, and how did you find them. but at least you learned a lesson.

This is probably someone trying to just sell his old sneaks, you know how "those" people are when they get a small scuff on them.

And buying a Chipped cell phone will get you in jail with "those" people that you dont want to be around.
