"Buying and dealing with FocalPrice (FP) is difficult. In no comment that I make will I be able to reference email communications between us. All incoming or outgoing messages with them seem to expire and disappear within a few days. All I report here has to be reconstructed from memory. Because of this, precise dates are not available from my computer, even though I have not deleted them. I have no idea why they do this. While scrolling back in an attempt to reconstruct my last order, I was able to find details of orders placed with Amazon several years ago.
As I recall – I placed an order with Focalprice during the early part of September. Here is a copy:

Immediately, I noticed that a duplicate order appeared on their website. I wrote an email and sent it to them in an attempt to correct this. It took at least two weeks and many emails before that was corrected. When they notified me that the order had shipped, I waited for about a month until it came in the mail. The two most expensive items, the computer memory, were not in the package. It took about a week to get FP to admit that it had not been shipped even though they had charged my credit card for the full price on 9/15/12.
My reason for ordering the 40 cm PC PU Water-Resistance White Light Strip with Sleeve was because I intended to place it in a waterfall. It came with no sleeve and a warning that it was not waterproof.
Now that you have read this, do you still wonder why I don’t do much business with Focalprice?
