sorry for all the Off topic but i feel this is important for someone you hot deal shoppers.


On Jan 17, 2001, I ordered a $150 Headphones from Buy.com.

On Jan 19, 2001, I changed my mind and cancelled my order but according to CSR, item has been shippped. She mentioned that i can simply refuse the delivery and everything will be handle through Buy.com. <--- Biggest Mistake i Ever make there. So i listen to the sales representative and refused the order.

On Jan 26, 2001, I checked the status of the package and it showed that has been delivered back to Buy.com. So i called them and told them of the story. The CSR told me that their system didnt show that i returned the the headphones, then i told them that Buy.com's own tracking system showed it was returned then He told me &quot;Oh, sorry that was weird, Ok I'll put in the request and credit should be returned to your credit card no later than 21 days. So i wait, wait and wait.

On March 5, 2001, I was upset that nothing was emailed to me nor credit was returned to my credit card. Buy.com Close down their Phone Support <---- not a good sign. I could not find anything on their webpage that states a phone number. So I put in a request through their crappy email support. with the promised words that a sells rep will return my email within 12 hours. <---- Received nothing from them as of today.

On March 20, 2001, My second email to Buy.com support since there is no way I can get in contact with this company NO PHONE NUMBERS. I think soon, this company will file for chapter 11. arrrggghhh I can't believe this kind of Customer Srevice with no phone support. Now i dont have the headphones and I sitll have to pay for that $150.00 plus shipping :(

Dude - just dispute it with your CC company. You have proof that you didn't accept delivery. Make sure to send them a real letter via registered mail and use the exact words &quot;billing error&quot; to describe it.

They'll take it from there...

Unless of course, you used a debit card - which you should NEVER do...

Later!

Print out your proofs and send them to your credit card company asking for refund of purchase price

???NO PHONE NUMBERS???

You sure?

1-888-880-1030 still works...just called...has worked multiple times for me during March through this week (follow-up on switch order)...Intro message informs that BUY.COM is not scheduled to go to email-only support until March 30. Phone support should continue until then.

Have you tried calling this 800-number for a Customer Rep?

You may have trouble disputing it with the CC company because, AFAIK, most of them require you to submit a claim within 60 days of the purchase.
