"Buy.com's Customer Service is horrible. I purchased something from them several months ago but was sent only one of ten items I ordered even though I was charged for all 10. I tried to call their Customer Service, but the number is unlisted. After scouring the internet to find it, I made over a dozen calls trying to fix my order. Every time I called, I was given different information. I filed a claim to get my money back and I had to wait a month before they would even think about giving me one. Finally, they said that I would be given a refund and that it would take 5 days to process. I have this 5 day promise in writing. Yet 5 days later, no refund. I called, they said it would be more than 5 days, so I waited a week. Still no refund. Another call a week later, the refund was "being processed." Over two months, a dozen calls, and hours of my time later, I finally got my refund. Absolutely horrible customer service. If Buy.com cared about retaining customers, they would fulfill their promises and work a lot harder at fixing their problems faster.
I decided to give Buy.com a chance to redeem themselves and placed another order with them. This time, even though the items were listed as in stock when I ordered, my items sat backordered for 6 weeks before Buy.com finally cancelled my order.
Nonetheless, I was stupid enough to make another purchase from them again a few months later when I saw that they offered the lowest price anywhere with free shipping. It turns out that they sent me the wrong item again and I no longer would have the item in time for Christmas due to their mistake. I sent the item back a couple of weeks ago and still haven't received my replacement. Thanks Buy.com for another botched order. You're 0 for 3 in my book."
