5/5

Was looking for a portable GPS system, and this company had the lowest prices on both Consumer Reports and cnet.com for both the Garmin and TomTom models I was considering. (Actually, cnet briefly indicated lower prices from a shady outfit called "Millennium Camera," but fortunately I was able to cancel that order before being ripped off.) In any event, here everything went off without a hitch: the order went through without any attempt to add "extras" to the order; the order shipped promptly, even with free shipping; the order arrived ahead of schedule and with everything as represented.

I had almost exactly the same experience as related in the earlier reviews. The seller turned up in a comparative price listing on cnet.com for a Garmin Nuvi 660 GPS system. The prices for this and other similar items were all lower than all other listed sellers. I soon found out why. (Oddly, when I returned to cnet only 2 days later, they were no longer listed!) After I placed the order, I received an email requiring a phone "confirmation," not something I'd ever experienced on any internet order. Then, even though the listing on their site included in the base price, among other things, a mount and case (standard for Garmin), they tried to sell me both at inflated prices. First, the guy claimed he was giving me a price of $59.95 for a "beanbag mount," which he said listed at $129. When I told him the mount was available at $39, he reduced the price to $49. When he then tried to sell a carrying case, at another $59, I asked what was included with the unit itself, and he claimed nothing was. Since their website had claimed that several things, including a case, were included, I balked. He then said "Your order is cancelled," and hung up.
