I have similarly bad experience with ValueExpress. I ordered a FAX modem from them. They called back 3 days later saying that the price had changed and didn't know which model I ordered. I told them the model I ordered, without extra cost. 3 days later the order did not arrive as promised. I called back. After some checking, they said the order had been sent to a wrong destination. 2 days later, they called and told me that I had a foreign credit card and that they could not verify it. Thus, they could not process my order. If they could not process my order, how on earth did they send the misplaced order? After some thought, I canceled the order. 2 days later, I received my order. I rejected the package and gave them a call. The person said that somehow the order was processed and she didn't know how that happened. She continued to ask me to open the package to see what was inside. Hell, I couldn't. If I could, I wouldn't be so dumb to open it and pay for the postage for sending it back since I had decided not to buy the modem from them. I continued to ask for a refund, stating that the package had already been rejected and was it way back to them. They said they will process the refund when they received the package and promised to do that. 1 month later, my card was charged the amount without any refund statement. I called them back to demand for a refund and asked that they FAX me a copy of the paper work. They said ok, but I waited for hours. The nex time I called, they said it will take just a few min., but again I waited for an hour. I called again and talked to the manager. She said she will not FAX her company internal statement. I demanded to have it that day and threaten to sue them. She replied that she will engage her lawyer. What kind of customer survice is this? She then promised to send the FAX copy 3 days later. How inefficient! 3 days later, the FAX did not arrived by the end the day. I called 2 more times to get them to send it to me. Finally, 1 hour after office hour, I received the invoice dated the same day they FAX to me. The invoice had their company letter head. Throughout the entire ordeal, I felt terribly deceited with one lie after another. If these lies made sense, I would at least feel better. They don't even know how to tell lie.
