"I bought and later returned three headphones from electronicsexpo. They refunded me only for a single unit. I talked to them about the refund of other two units which they never provided. I lost my money of $190 just by buying with them."
"Got my order one day before the arrival date. Item well packed . Item works great. Hope to buy again soon"
"I'm sad to say that my first purchase from E-E was really disappointing. From other reviews, they seem to do a great job in fulfilling orders. But outside of that, they have very much to improve. I bought a Denon AVR3312CI from them for a great price. Problems came 3 days later when Amazon dropped their price for the exact unit for even lower. Here are the problems I encountered:
1. Price Match Policy - on their website, they promise to match a lower price within 14 days of purchase with "No Worries". So I called CS and was told they'll call me back in about 1 hour if it's approved or not. I never got the call. I emailed CS 5 hours later to follow-up and I received a speedy reply stating "We do not price match amazon.com the only option you have is to return
the unit and there will be shipping charges". And that's what I did. Ordered from amazon the same day and shipped my item back to E-E. Package was delivered 6/26/12 via USPS w/ delivery confirmation.
2. Return process NOT on record - fast forward to Jul 12, no refunds, no emails, no calls, no updates on order status online. I inquired with CS and she did not see that I have been set up for a return. She asked if I have an RA# or if I refused delivery. Of course I have an RA#. So did they receive the item?
3. Package NOT received - Person from returns department claims they never received the item and that I shouldn't have shipped it via USPS. They've been having this problem where packages gets lost because the USPS carrier just leaves them outside. They asked me to file a claim for lost package from USPS.
4. USPS will NOT process the claim - After "investigating", they tell me that all packages for E-E had been delivered for that day. Even with insurance, they could not process the claim because their system shows the package has been delivered and that they're no longer responsible for the item once it's delivered.
5. EE price matches ANYWAY - Yes. When I got my June CC statement, that's when I saw that they credited me the price difference anyway. I never received the promised callback, no emails, and the credit is not even reflected on my online order status.
6. I'm $550 POORER. Between USPS's "we are no longer responsible for your package after it is delivered" and E-E's "We can not issue a refund for any item that we did not receive back. I apologize but I am unable to assist you with this issue", I'm stuck and is $550 poorer.
As an avid online shopper where 80% of my stuff are bought online (the other 20% are groceries and clothes) and an ebay seller for the past 3 years, I've never had this kind of a problem with shipping and lost package. I do only buy from reputable sites like Amazon, Newegg, Altrec, Backcountry, etc. Once in awhile I'm willing to try less known stores but they just don't deliver and you risk getting bitten like this.
Even though USPS may well be the one solely responsible for losing my package (I'm still pestering them with calls to investigate, but the discussion always ends with "the item has been delivered"), with the little mistakes and mishaps by EE's CS reps, I can't help but blame them as partly responsible for what happened, and even makes me suspicious that my item might have been misplaced or mishandled because of the missing return records on their system when it was delivered to their store.
As a returns center, I expect them to have a system for receiving packages especially during business hours. AND ESPECIALLY BECAUSE LOST (STOLEN?) PACKAGES HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. How hard is it to make an arrangement with the local USPS carrier NOT to leave packages outside? They can even give him a key so he can leave packages inside the building when no one's there. Apartment buildings and condo's do this all the time. So someone stole a large 25lb package from outside their store in broad daylight at noon? No security cameras? All I want is my money back. I shouldn't be worrying how EE handles their returns or mail theft. But looks like this poor customer have to do a lot of extra shifts to gain back what I lost."

"Placed an order for Grado SR80i through Amazon. Order went through, but then got an email saying the item was sold out. Then was offered a replacement. Customer rep was helpful and fast in responding to email inquiries. Will do business again. "
"Bought a demon 2112 best price I could find came fast and was double boxed great experience."
"I made a purchase from Electronics-Expo of a subwoofer. The price was excellent, shipping was excellent (shipped day after purchase), and everything was as expected. Would certainly do business with them again."
"At first I was quite satisfied with Electronics-Expo, but when my sub start acting up I was expecting a no-hassle exchange. This hasn't been the case thus far. Getting them to take the sub back before the 14 day period was up was fine, but I'm still waiting to get anything back from them. I waited 2 weeks after sending it in to call to find out if they had shipped my exchange back yet, when I was informed the sub I had sent back was out of stock (they never informed me of this until "I" called.) The woman I spoke with (who was very nice) offered a different sub in exchange, I feel it wasn't quite as good as the one I originally had, but was still a decent price overall, so I accepted. A few days later I hadn't received any update yet as to if the new replacement had shipped (it was suppose to of shipped already,) so I called again, and spoke to a woman not nearly as nice as the first, to be informed this one was now out of stock but may be in stock later next week. So now I've gone a month without a sub and will go at the very least another week. The thing that has bothered me the most about this is the fact that they havent initiated any contact with me to let me know when there was a problem, I keep having to call them to find out any information. Next time I would think twice about giving them my business even if I'm saving a few dollars, just in case I had problems again."
"I found a great deal on a Receiver at Eletronics-Expo.com so I ordered a it on Sunday and it was here on Thursday with standard shipping which was a great surprise to me. The order process was easy and the receiver was double boxed for added protectIon. All in all it was a great experience. "
"The price was right, the order arrived very promptly and it was intact. Their customer service was most helpful in tracking the package."
"Great prices, fast shipping, and great service whether it's over the phone or on the web. Highly recommended!"
"Ordered Definitive Technology ProSub 60. Very good price with coupon. The sub came quick, very well packed. Almost order a pair of BP6 from them, but budget was kinda getting low :-)"
"Great shopping experience, competitive price and fast delivery."
