"This company's practices are not only unethical, they are borderline illegal. They bill your card then cancel your order. Please heed my warning, you are a fool to do business with these thieves "
"My order was placed on 07/31/2002. Credit Card was charged same day. Four days later (08/04/2002) email was received stating order was 'canceled'. Hopefully, they credit my account. I will also be contacting my CC company pleading my case with them due to the fact that I was charged a finance charge that most likely included this illegal credit card activity."
"As you can see this company really sucks. Avoid at all costs unless you like being ripped off! "
"Placed order on July 30, credit card was charged 7/31/02. Item ordered was not shipped. Order cancelled 8/4/02 by EMS. Still waiting for credit on credit card. In short, choose a different company to do business with since there are so many choices. Thanks."
"Today is the fifth Business day and I still havent seen a refund to my CC. Can anyone give me an advice on what actions to take against these guys, so I can get my money back? It is just impossible to get a hold of someone at EMS."
"Ordered on July 27th.
Received Confirmation on July 27th.
Charged on July 30th.
NEVER received shipping email.
Received Cancellation email on August 4th.
My credit card was DEFINITELY charged.

"FRAUD! Do not order from these people!
My monitor went out, so I thought I would get a 19in Optiquest Q95 monitor from EMS for $173. EMS was offering free shipping, so I though this was a great deal.
THEY CHARGED MY CREDIT CARD the same day!
I waited for an entire week for them to ship it.
I can not get in touch with them through phone or email.
Today (Aug 04), I get a email saying they have cancelled my order.
They RAISED THE PRICE to $233 and no longer offer free shipping!
This is fraud - they are NOT suppose to charge the card until the item ships and they are suppose to ship within the stated amount of time (24 hours).
DO NOT ORDER FROM EMS COMPUTING - youll regret it!"
" Just the same story has everyone else. Ordered a UPS, got charged for it then a week later said they could not send it. It is funny how they raised the price by 50 dollars. This company use to be a good place to order parts from at a good price. I dont know what happened. Just buyer beware."
"My experience is exactly the same as everyone else (the Free shipping Joke). this company is a JOKE.
Just RUN away as far as possible."
"3 strikes :
1) Business charges customer before shipment arranged
2) Business cancels orders without the request/consent of the customer
3) Business absolutely not available for any 'live' human contact... only automated and generic emails are sent from business.
They're out... take your money somewhere else. The 'being swamped with orders' excuse wears thin real fast.
My story :
Despite varying opinions on the service of EMS, I decided to jump on the chance to order a product at great price...
So much for that... the order was cancelled within' a few days and NOT BY MY REQUEST!!!
I've NEVER heard of a company CANCELLING an order simply because they were not able to 'ship the order in a timely manner'. I was one of the patient customers that was willing to sit back and wait to see what happened, but I was not even given the choice of sitting in the back order line or informed of when their current stock might be shipped.
Fortunately, they decided that planning to cancel my order didn't need to stop them from CHARGING MY CREDIT CARD!!!
Needless to say, I will be keeping an eye on the charge to see if it comes back in a 'timely manner'.
Also, the price on the item went up a good 25%, which leads me to think the price might have been a typo that they refused to own up to. "
"TERRIBLE!! Ordered on 7/29, didn't hear a word from them until today, when I get an e-mail saying they have canceled my ORDER!!!! But guess what, they CHARGED MY CREDIT CARD. FRAUD!!!! DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE!!!!
"
"Ordered bunch of stuff because of free shipping deal. Credit card got charged immediately. They totally ignored their own policy about shipping. To make a long story short, I never got a tracking # and they cancelled my order a week later. Wouldn't reply to email or phone. Their excuse was that they were relocating. What kind of stupid company would relocate while having a big promotion?!?"
"Sams as everyone else. Ordered for Free shipping, got charged right away. Havent received anything."
"Purchased a computer case on 7/27/02. There was plenty in stock. Credit card was charged immediately.
8/4/02 received a letter saying my order has been cancelled.
Refund has not been posted to my credit card.
Where's my money?!!!
Don't ever buy from these losers. It was impossible to contact them by phone, email, and fax. Look at how badly they treat all their customers.
Buyers beware!!"
"This company committed fraud, plain and simple. They advertised an item at a fair price, I placed and order, they charged my creidt card, and then six days later they cancelled my order. AVOID THESE LOSERS AT ALL COST! I'll never, ever, consider purchasing from this horrible company again, and I suggest that you do the same!"
