I bought a desktop computer from Ubid.com a few mounts ago. They shipped it in a reasonable amount of time, but it had been delivered by FedEx to a wrong address (they had the right one on the box) and I never received it. After several phone calls and e-mails their “Customer service” sent me a e-mail stating that because the “FedEx” driver said that the package been delivered to my address they can't help me, and this was the last response to my e-mails.It is really interesting to me what they expect the driver to say when he know he messes up the package – even after he put the wrong address on the delivery slip ???
I had to put the charge on dispute with my credit card company, file a police report, spend hours on the phone and finally after filling with BBB I got my money back from “ubid.com” – took me more than 2 months!
So be aware of their “Customer service” - if something goes wrong, you'll be more likely to be by your self. Also avoid FedEx specially around the Holidays – they hire unexperienced temporary drivers (a year ago they left a 700$ LCD TV sitting at my front door all day long, because nobody was home), UPS are far more reliable.
