I was hoping the good reviews on this site would be my experience with buydig.com, unfortunately it was not. I ordered a 50" plasma tv. I took off a day of work to receive shipment. It has been 9 days since ordering. My tv was delivered completely smashed and not operational. The delivery guys were rushing me to sign the ticket before inspecting the tv. I had them wait while I inspected it considering I spent almost $1500. I called buydig.com and the gentleman in the customer service department was very rude. He would not work with me in any way to have a new tv expedited and to arrange a delivery on a weekend since I already took a day off of work to receive a smashed tv! I am extremely disappointed in the lack of concern from their customer service and their unwillingness to work with me. I even told him I would give them the chance to deliver another tv instead of canceling the order and they still showed no concern or interest in giving good customer service.
If I hear from them.... I will update this and let you know the outcome. But, for now, I would be hesitant to recommend this company to anyone or buy from them again!!
Update 06/09/09: I was contacted today by a Maurice (customer service manager)after submitting this review. He profusely apologized for my situation and stated he had contacted the delivery service to accommodate an evening or weekend delivery at no charge. This gentleman was very concerned and professional. It's just a shame my first contact was not such. He also said he would throw in the HDMI cables at no charge. I will update this again if they come through on their word.
06/10/09 7:10am...I contacted Manna (delivery company for buydig) to set up my delivery. After being on the phone for 58 minutes they said they didn't receive authorization to deliver my TV. Stated they would contact buydig.com and get back to me.
06/10/09 12:42pm.... I contacted Manna and after being on the phone for 34 minutes, they state that no authorization was given to deliver TV.
06/10/09 1:15pm.... I contacted Maurice at buydig.com and he states he gave authorization and would reauthorize so I could get my TV.
06/10/09 1:32 Contacted Manna AGAIN and they state they did receive authorization and will deliver the TV tomorrow 06/11/09 at 4pm and possibly earlier if possible.
06/11/09 1:30 I contacted Manna to inform them I was home and if they wanted to deliver before 4pm they could. I also received the cables Maurice sent today.
06/11/09 5:56PM... Contacted Manna again because TV is still not here! And, I have a graduation to go to in which now I'm running late.
06/11/09 6:01PM... TV arrived...FINALLY!!! This time the TV looks like it is in good condition, although the drop indicator was set off. So, I'm hoping it is ok.
06/14/09 I hooked up the TV and it seems to be working fine.
IN CONCLUSION: Maurice at buydig.com was great. He made up for my bad experience with buydig. BUT, their delivery company was horrible. Because of all my experiences with buydig and the delivery company. I have to say I don't think I would ever make a major purchase from them again. But, because of Maurice, I would consider buying smaller ticket items from buydig.com in the future.
