"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 was looking for the lowest price on a Panasonic bd35, and these guys had it within a dollar or two. I opted for two day shipping, which you're supposed to call to verify. Well, THEY called me. The Blu-Ray player arrived right on time, as advertised.

I'm VERY happy I gave these guys a chance, and would recommended them to my best friend. Great experience with very cool people. "

"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!!! "

"I ordered $1500 worth of Nikon Equipment and was sent an email confirmation. A guy from the comapany called me immediately to confirm the purchase, and proceeded to ask if I wanted the US version with a Warranty or not.. and I knew at this point I was going to have trouble.

The price then was about what the other vendors had, and his price was not very good, and the website did not mention this at all.

The order seemed to take forever to ship, and there are no communications from the company. I called them numerous times, and their support and service is horrible. I was billed immediately for it, and it shipped later in the week, but after many calls to them.

When I saw my Credit Card Statement, it said Hot Buys, which when you look at reviews here, this is a bad company to deal with. Basically I think it is the same company, just different fronts.

I finally pried a tracking number out of the unfriendly people there, and then I found that my $1500 purchased was delivered to some guy in a completely different state.

They did correct it, and finally got my equipment. The packing for this type of equipment was unreal. A huge diaper cardboard box with no, I say NO packing, just the two loose boxes floating around inside.

This company is not a complete scam, they exsist, but I will never do business with them again, and never ever recommend them to anyone. Pay a few extra bucks and go with one of the big name stores."

"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 item I ordered was listed through Google Shopping and their own website as "IN STOCK" but was not. I had difficulty with the VERY rude salesman on the phone when canceling the order.
I received a call a week later from another representative trying to convince me to revise this review. Well, he's getting his wish now, like it or not. After canceling the order, about a month later, they shipped the item anyway and charged my credit card. I am issuing a dispute with my credit card company as I type this. Do NOT buy from these people. They are a SCAM. Any positive reivews you find on here for them are most likely written by the scammers themselves.
***AVOID AVOID AVOID***"

"DO NOT BUY!! Company sells refurbished equipment as new. Will not correspond by email, only phone. after a 10 minute wait, I have never heard a company lie about it's products in such a matter.
Save your time and spend the extra $10.00 from company with a good rating."
