Johannas Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 This is just a thread for those who want to share their bad experiences with internet shopping... I've bought over 75% of all my dvds and cds off the internet (over 350 of them combined!) and have rarely come across anything terrible. Once I bought a cd on eBay, and the cd itself was completely cracked in half so it didn't play at all, and just recently I was sent 2 cds wrapped up in nothing but a few pieces of sellotape and cheap A4 paper - ofcourse the cases were completely wrecked, and half the packaging was torn off by the time it arrived at my house. I'm sure someone's had worse experiences...? (Please don't name any specific sellers' accounts, although I think naming the sites would be ok!) Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig!

Nadril Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Apart from having to deal with some RMA stuff from newegg I really haven't had any terrible experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracion1 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Never had any problems thankfully :thumbup: "In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Got a bad motherboard from newegg once, didn't figure out what was wrong quick enough to RMA it (thought I was getting bad video cards). A few comics I ordered from MileHighComics weren't the grade they claimed. I've ordered thousands of dollars worth of stuff over the internet the past few years, so I am doing pretty well.

stevepole Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Apart from having to deal with some RMA stuff from newegg I really haven't had any terrible experiences. That's the only problem I've ever really had also, makes me never want to order the wrong part again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How2PK Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Not much. Sometimes I receive a damaged item from amazon, but they always replace it. Only webshop for dvds and cds that I tend to avoid is cdwow. crappy service, they make promises they can't live up to. strange business goes on there.

WookieeMania12 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I bought an Xbox (not 360) on Ebay and it took 5 weeks for the guy to ship it. He was probably new so I cut him some slack.

Star. Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Accidently bought a few fake replicas but I returned those without a hitch. Ahh, actually, once my dad bought a car door for when we had an Audi (my mother crashed the side... women drivers :roll: ) and silly me didn't check it and there was a huge dent in the side. They wouldn't return it or exchange because I already signed for it :S ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiriyama Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Not looking enough and ended up paying for an e-book. Whats worse is the bastard had the cheek to charge postage and packaging. And it came like a [bleep]in' week after a game. Denizen of Darkness| PSN= sworddude198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainy_Day Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I only ever buy new, just incase something bad occurs! So Play and Amazon have always served me well. :P ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)RIP Michaelangelopolous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megakiller32 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I ordered a Vinyl Album once, despite me saying "if i'm not in when it arrives, please DO NOT leave it outside." They left it outside and it was stolen. JERKS! Luckily I got a refund. and again, recently I ordered a CD, and it hasn't arrived. I'm still waiting for the seller to get back to me for where my item is O.o Quit Runescape 30th May 2006.Thanks to Hawkxs for my signature :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Only bad experience was buying a dvd on eBay and it finally arriving like a month later. And if that wasn't enough, it was a bootleg copy (the seller had said it was authentic). It was all good though, because he got some angry feedback, and Paypal refunded me :D Vienna Raszyn Warsaw Klushino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biabf Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Brought a TV from Dixons, I paid £10 for special delivery so that it would arrive within the next few days. Dixons managed to make the TV arrive a week after the normal delivery slot so effectively I paid £10 for it to be delivered later than normal. Then again, it's Dixons, I'm not sure why I didn't expect them to screw it up. Haven't had anything worse than that really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryjoe Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Once ordered a couple of DVDs off amazon for my mum's christmas present that never cam so I didn't have anything to give my poor mum on christmas day. :( That is my only bad experience though and they sent me the DVDs again. Didnt get a refund on the first class delivery I paid for though. :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Bought a video-card for my computer, it was an EVGA 9600GT, but ncix.com (a site which is Canadian for canadians btw), but 2 months after, still didn't have the card. Had to deal with the costumer service for a few weeks until I decided to change my order for an EVGA 9800GT that was almost the same price I had paid for the 9600. Had it 3 days after, but one thing they didn't tell me was that they took an additional $4 from my credit card for the price difference, like come on, it's such a small amount, and they had already lost me as a costumer, only makes me want to make bad publicity for them. Anyway, I gave their costumer service a bad rating and am still checking in case they took more money from my card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l0rd Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Always check the sellers ratings on ebay, and I only buy off major store outlets from other sites. So I've always been safe, never even had a defective program. One time, though, when buying memory for my computer, I accidentally ordered high-density ddr-sdram instead of low-density, which I didn't know my motherboard wouldn't support. I was able to return the ram and buy low-density. [iNSERT "I R EATIN TEH SHIX ATM" BILL COSBY SIGNATURE GIF HERE, LOL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoi_Tu Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I don't buy much, but when I bought my stereo receiver from Amazon and speakers from Crutchfield, they were both fast and helpful and nothing went wrong. So no bad experiences yet! Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin64 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I bought a book from Amazon once. It got to me in a timely manner. In Spanish :lol: Despite the product page displaying it in English and all that. I sent it back and got a refund, nothing bad ever since. Command the Murderous Chalices!
