1/5

posted Dec-28-2011
I should have read reviews in this website before I made business with them. I have no wonder why they got such a bad score. They gave me the worst online shopping experience. I placed an order for a Nikon lens for $1,888.95 (not a back order) on 12/12/2011. I received no response..no e-mail whatsoever.
12/19/2011 - The order status on the website stated "In Process". I called them to see what was going on. After I was waiting for the customer service for 15 minutes, the representative told me that it was in the warehouse and would be shipped out in 24 hours.
12/20/2011 - I did not receive any confirmation e-mail of shipping. I called again. The 2nd representative said the same thing and asked me to wait.
12/21/2011 - Nothing happened. I called again (each time took 10-15 minutes to speak with them). The 3rd representative said she did not know where the item was and would track it. She asked me to call back.
12/23/2011 - Already too close to the Christmas (it was meant to be a gift). Nothing happened. I called again. The 4th representative, again, said the same thing "It's in the warehouse, in the shipping process". (Please... the item had been in the warehouse for all these times?) I said "No, I know it's not in the warehouse and I want to cancel". She said she can't do anything with it because it's already in shipping process. I said I still don't believe it's being shipped and I don't want it anyway because it won't be on time for Christmas. She said it's not Christmas yet they will try to deliver it to you by Christmas (BS!!! when I called it was 6 PM of Friday 12/23). I realized that there was on point talking to this person, she just had no clue what she talked about, she was just as useful as an answering machine, so I asked to speak with someone who could do something. She said no one to speak with!
12/27/2011 - I called back after Christmas asking to speak with a person who is able to help me cancelling my order. The 5th representative (maybe in a higher level) seemed to make more sense. She checked and told me that the item listed in her system as out of stock and need to get it from external vendor. I asked to cancel it and she did. She said the cancellation confirmation will be e-mailed to me within 24-72 hours and asked me to call back with this XXX reference number if I don't receive the e-mail. (It's been 48 hours now, and I haven't received an e-mail yet... I'll see)
Same day - I placed an order for the same lens from J&R.com. In the evening, I received an e-mail from J&R that the item has shipped along with tracking info!
Avoid "Best Buy" at all cost.... because it is actually "Worst Buy"
