4/5

posted Jun-20-2006

Order a camcorder online 6/1/06 (Thu night). Didn't get the "we're closed fri and sat" until after the order was placed, which was annoying - but then the other stores I was considering also closed fri/sat...
Anyway - got the email sunday morning "we need to speak to you" so I rang and was asked for the sec code from my credit card - AND given a rundown of a lot of "great offers". Not too hard a sell - but then I guess it depends on what you're used to.

They charged my credit card right there and then (according to the statement) and said I've have the camera in 7-10 days. A few emails back and forth later (asking where it was) and it shipped on 6/12. It arrived 6/19 new and as desribed with all accessories. So I got a $1000 camera for $650 - sweet.

I wonder if they don't actually carry stock; one of the phonecalls I had they said "we're just waiting for it to come in" - so maybe they buy stuff 'on demand' after billing your card.
Anyway - it showed up only a few days late, and was perfect. So I'm happy.
