"I ordered a refurbished Sony surround sound system on a Sunday (1/16), it shipped out that Monday (1/17) and arrived here three days later on Thursday (1/20). It was packaged well and arrived in perfect shape. After getting it setup, I initially couldn't get it to work with my PS3, but it turned out that it just needed to be changed to a different setting on the receiver. I'm very happy with it :)"
"First order from SonyStyle. Wasn't much of an order, a light for my DV camcorder, but overall a very good experience. Shipped fast and received within a few days. "
"After reading the horror stories about Sony Style now I am really scared of it. However last month I purchased a CyberShot T300 digital camera. It was 50$ costlier at Sony style but I wanted it to be engraved because it was a gift hence went for it. It arrived on time and I've no issues with the Camera (it's a beauty in fact). However the next day I ordered I found they were giving a 50$ "Fathers' day" discount on it... Geez talk about bad timing. Now I've my eyes set on a Viao but after reading all these reviews... shudder shudder..."
"Ordered PS3 160gb bundle online April 5th around midnight. Item was shipped April 7th per confirmation, received item April 13th in perfect shape. Ordered from SonyStyle because prices were all about the same (within a couple dollars)but Sony was giving a free extra controller along with the same bundle from everyone else. Couldn't ask for better. I had also bought a laptop from SonyStyle several years ago along with some accessories (seperate order) and also had no problems or delays in shipping. All of my experiences have been highly satisfactory."
"If you KNOW all about the Sony item you are buying, you can't do better than Sony Style. Sure, you pay retail, but many items are Factory Direct (I like that), and only 1 cent shipping! And my 3 separate purchases each made it to Michigan (USA) from Tokyo (Japan) in only 2-3 days! For 1 cent shipping!
However, and as unlikely as it seems, Sony Style's listings for Sony products can be highly inaccurate. I bought a RM-DR1 remote for my MVC-CD400, and the Sony Style advertises this unit as having the ability to control shutter speed on the camera. NO! It features power on/off, zoom, and shutter release controls only.
Also, I purchased a Sony HVL-F1000 flash, which Sony Style says supports TTL (Through-The-Lens) metering. NO! It self-meters via an old-fashioned thyristor sensor on the face of the flash. Reasonably accurate metering, provided the flash is mounted on top of the camera and the sensor is pointing at the subject, but definitely NOT TTL as advertised.
So, if you KNOW what you are buying, Sony Style is a legitimate business to deal with. Just don't rely on their item descriptions in doing your pre-purchase research.
And 1 cent FedEx Priority shipping from Tokyo to Michigan in only 2-3 days!"

"After reading so many negative reveiws of Sony Style, I thought I would throw in my two cents. I read all the reveiws but despite the mostly negative tone, their price on the DVD player that I was going to buy was significantly lower and they had free shipping, so I went ahead and ordered. I was extremely pleased with their service. I ordered on the evening of May 10 and received my order on the morning of May 12 (this was ground shipping with FEDEX). I expected to wait at least a week. It is true, that you must sign for the package, they will not leave it at your door, for example. They will try 3 times to deliver and then send the order back to Sony. This is printed right on the box. One reveiwer felt that this was a negative thing. I am home all day so has no trouble receiving my order. Also it does take 8 weeks to get a refund as is clearly explained on the web site. This is another beef someone had. Anyway, they treated me well and were very fast. I had a very positive experience with them."
"I purchased a 32-inch XBR6 LCD HDTV from them and the experience has been completely delightful. The shipping was fast, the price was great, and anyway I had to do via phone went without a hitch. I would gladly buy from them again."
"I have just completed an order with sonystyle.com. The product had to be shipped from fatory, which is located in Tokyo, Japan. They only charge 4.6 USD for Fedex overnight shipping to USA! Can't beat that. The product arrove sound and problem free. Excellent first purchase from sonystyle.com."
