Consumer Electronics Depot

Has anyone had any dealings with these guys? They are based in Miami, and as with many of the other threads on this page were selling (and still are supposedly selling) Apple iPods.

I placed an order back in June 05, and after talking to the main guy Elio Mella on the phone several times (every time I called someone picked up), I checked on BBB, and although they didn't have a long history, it showed they were a registered business (part of Advanced Recovery Systems), decided they were kosher & wired money to him as agreed.

I received one phone call 2 weeks later advising half my order was on its way (which I never received, then saw them advertising as available stock), and have heard nothing since. In the meantime they have ignored me, the Miami Consumer Services Dept, and now the BBB.

A letter from a lawyer back in October did provoke a response that they were hurt about my complaint blabla rubbish, and guaranteeing delivery before Xmas or a full refund. Neither of these happened, and again they are back to ignoring me. I am reluctant to use legal action, partly as it's hugely expensive, but also as I'm already lots of cash down, don't wanna throw more money in with no guarantee I'll get anything back!

Anyone had any dealings with this company? Any recommendations on what to do now?
