1/5

I honestly don't think DigiCombos is a scammer company, but the way they dealt with my order made me think they were. Here is the order or events with my order:
1) I place order online and set shipping address to my workplace, as I do for all my orders.
2) They call to confirm the order and shipping [aka attempt to upsell me on items], I decline to purchase anything but the camera body they had for a low low price.
3) A week later, the camera has still not shipped. I call and talk to a sales rep about the status of the order, he says it's still on hold because the billing department needs to call the credit card company. He said that they do this for all orders "over $30 or so". I then ask if ALL their orders over $30 are over a week behind schedule, and he hems and haws about how priority orders go out first. He knows I know that the order slipped through the cracks and is sitting in someone's backlog. He says that the billing manager is the only person who can call the CC company and that he will call me back by the end of the day. I request expedited shipping instead of standard because I have waited over a week for this camera to get shipped out, and he says they can't possibly do that because they are already selling it so cheaply.
4) No call comes at the end of the day, of course, so I call back tomorrow, at 10am. I get the same person, who says the billing manager is not in yet, even though they opened at 9:30. I tell him I will call back that afternoon.
5) At 2pm I call, he says the billing manager is still not in, and does not know where he is.
6) I cancel my order over the phone after finding the body elsewhere for less.
While my issue may be an isolated one, it doesn't give me much hope that a future order will go well. I don't see the point in ordering from this company in the future.
