"DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY OR A COMPANY CALLED 'HOT BUYS ELECTRONICS'!!! THIS IS A FRAUDULENT WEBSITE AND YOU WILL BE RIPPED OFF!!!!
i recently purchased a camera from this company online. i received a confirmation email with an invoice number and it said that the tracking information would follow shortly. well, i never received any form of a tracking number and after a couple of weeks, i saw that the transaction went through on my bank account as 'hot buys electronics.' i contacted myrtle electronics on several occasions and requested that they send me an email with my shipping information. i NEVER received it. i called them again yesterday and found that the camera hadn't even been shipped yet!!! once again, i requested that they give me the tracking information. never received it. i trIed calling them again TODAY, but found that their office was closed and there was no way to leave a message. through further digging, i was able to find a number that wasn't the 800 number, contacted the company called 'myrtle electronics' out of brooklyn, ny and found out that they were not affiliated and they don't even HAVE a website!!!! so now i have contacted my bank and had to file a fraudulent claim, which they have begun processing.
word of advice to ANYONE doing online shopping from the online 'mom & pop' stores - RESEARCH the company to ensure that they are in fact a legitimate company before processing any transactions!!! "
"DO NOT BUY FROM MYRTLE ELECTRONICS!!! I purchased a camera from them and after weeks of phone calls promising shipping information and the safe arrival of my camera, I am left with a canceled credit card and no camera. They charged me under "Hot Buy Electronics" so I would stay away from that company as well!!! "
"The website listed an item for $39.99 when I placed the order online the first time i was told it was a website glitch. The second time I ordered it they emailed me and said it was no longer available but they would sell it to me for $144.99.??? I WILL NEVER BUY FROM THEM!!!"
"I purchased a nikon point and shoot from these guys. Got the whole USA version Crap too and had to pay more for that or got Asia warranty. Got the camera and it was broken right out of the box, so i made the mistake of returning it to them. 5 months later I still do not have my money back, do not have my camera and have wasted HOURS on the phone with Yake and everyone else there who are the epitome of the Going out of Business electronics store from Zohan.
NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE. THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE.
"Basically the worst online retailer that I've ever ordered from. I wished I had paid attention to the bad reviews before I purchased. Their customer service is poor and unresponsive to requests. They are slow and/or unresponsive unless provoked and try to add dubious extra charges."
"I was shopping on line for an hdtv when I came upon MyrtleElectronics.com. They had exactly what I wanted and the price was right, so I ordered it. As it turned out,I thought I had gone through all the companies on the web selling the item I was looking for when I spotted the item on another web site 10 minutes after I ordered it at myrtles. I called Myrtle to cancel the order expecting to have a hard time in doing so but found the company to be very understanding and they sent me an e-mail confirming my cancellation of the product. I would not hesitate to purchase any product I was looking for through myrtles. RJ.MUCK"
"I ordered some wireless headphones from MyrtleElectronics almost two months ago. Sent them a follow up email a month ago and they said it was to ship soon. Still no headphones. I then looked up seller ratings and decided to cancel the order. Should have looked up their ratings first. I just hope they don't try to hit my credit card, as I will refuse payment. Try another outfit if you don't want a headache and if you actually want what you ordered delivered to you in a timely fashion"
"AVOID THIS COMPANY! After placing the order it took a week to "process" the order and another week after that to ship it. They obviously didn't have it in stock.
Then the Panasonic SDR-S10 camcorder came without the 2 gig SD card advertised as included. The documentation is stamped to indicate that the card isn't included, but the sticker on the camera itself says it is included and nothing in the advertising indicated that the card wasn't included.
I didn't bother to make an issue with the company--I got an 8 gig card for $14 and it's not worth my time to deal with shysters like this.
Camera does work fine once I finally got it and bought the card.
Don't be fooled by their low prices--it's not worth your time or aggravation to deal with them."
