I thought I should share with you MY WORST SHOPPING EXPERIENCE EVER. I’ve ordered a $1200 laptop & external HD bundle from Megabuy after confirming its availability by phoning the store. Paid by direct deposit and was supposed to receive it in 1-3 days. Never received the laptop. After 4 days I received an e-mail saying it was shipped and received the external HD that day, but not the laptop. I’ve called the store and was told that the laptop will arrive from a different warehouse. After another few days, I’ve called again and was told, sorry the product was discontinued. So I was left with a $1200 external hard drive.
I’ve been offered another laptop in exchange for the discontinued one, but could not accept it as it was way inferior to the one ordered. I’ve called them just about every day to organise a refund. They did pass me from one department o another, without resolving the problem. Finally, I went to the store to return the external HD and get the refund. BIG SURPRISE. They did not refund my money. When I’ve insisted, they asked me to leave the store, threatening to call the Police.
Since I did not leave, they eventually made me another offer for replacing the laptop, this time with a different brand and different size laptop. Long story short, my money has not been refund. I have to contact them again tomorrow, but I am not optimistic. It is 2 weeks now and I don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. The next step would be the ACC and the court.
