I can't express how disappointed I am in the business techniques of this company - it does appear to be somewhat of a 'bait and switch'. The one good thing I can say is that they are honest about canceling your order and not charging you for your 'backordered' product. I just tried to order the Canon CB-2LV Charger for Canon NB-4L Lithium-Ion Battery
this week, March 2009, and was met, once again, with disappointment. This is the 2nd time I have tried to order this product from this company (you can see I gave them the benefit of the doubt the 1st time). The 1st time, about 8 months ago, they called to tell me the items was on an indefinate backorder (same as this time) and wanted to sell me a substitue $90 charger instead and I declined. This time they did not offer any other items but got a bit cold to me when I expressed my disappointment with this item STILL being on their website yet STILL on apparent 'Permanent" backorder. I do believe this is a scam. If you want to be a legitimate company with great reviews, just remove the items off your website that you KNOW are not currently available or list them as 'on backorder'. Also, the way the item's availability is listed "stock - usually ships in 1-2 business days" is very misleading - Is this purposly misleading? I think the answer is YES ... particularly after all the reviews I have read today from other people on this same issue. I wish companies could just be straight forward and direct about what they are selling. Too bad business has resorted to these type of tactis.
