I tried to purchase a 7.2V NiCad battery and charger from this company through Buy.com. After this sale, I find both companies to be a waste of time.
First - The Twister Group: The batter with charger was ordered on the 20th of March. Nine day later, no email follow-up, notification of the reseller’s information including contact and no battery and charger. After finally getting the contact information regarding the reseller (see below) I went to their site to check for availability of the item I ordered. Get this. The same item listed as selling on Buy.com from “Twister” as the reseller is know is $19.29. On his site, the same item sells for $14.12. As of now, I have email the company to cancel the order.
Second – Buy.com: They passed the buck claiming that the reseller’s information is listed in the order details. This is an outright fabrication. Neither on my order receipt or the on-line copy does any contact information for the reseller “Twister” appear.
On top of all of this, the item I ordered from Twister through Buy.com is, according to their site, our of stock.
Update – I just received an email from Twister. The order was canceled 3/21/07 and they have no idea why I never received an email. The order I still listed as active in my Buy.com history.
Update - 04/06/07 I received the following email today from the sales department of The Twister Group.
"We feel that we have to inform all online merchants community that you a potential fraudulent buyer. We will add your name, address and email to the list of people to avoid. Furthermore, to alleviate an impact of your unfair feedback, we reserve the right to use your personal information to resell to advertisement channels. Now it is your turn to decide if our company deserve your blame for lack of Buy.com response."
So, unless I remove this negative feedback, this company will sell my personal information. Nice.
BTW, take a look at the number of single entry accounts giving positive ratings to this reseller.
04/03/07 Here is the latest threat
We'll post your name and address as fraudster to all of them as a reply.
We'll distribute your information everywhere as internet fraudster.
That's all not including next steps. Plus more pending on further
investigation.
You decide. We'll proceed.
