I tried to order a Sharp 52" LCD from them. I suspected they would try to up-sell me on something and were possibly fraudulent from the reviews I have seen about them. I thought I would give it whirl anyway.

I probably should have looked and saw that they had a P.O. box for an address and their WHOIS information has proxy information so you can't tell what their real address is.

Sure enough, "Sam" tried to up-sell me on overpriced warranties and accessories and when I refused them, they told me I had to upgrade my shipping for $220 more or they wouldn't ship it. The $179.99 shipping they claimed had no insurance and it had to have insurance. I asked him where on their website it points all of this out, and he wouldn't answer me. Of course it says nothing about this on their website about any of this.

He was also rude and condescending.

I spent the $220 extra with someone that was reputable and honest.
