Swedish Steel

Luckily, I remain unscathed, and my credit card untainted, but, my fellow consumers, be aware of a unscrupulous online merchant by the name of "Bestchoicedigital.com". They specialize in digital cameras, camcorders, and other fancy playthings. However they are so shady I urge you to stay away at all costs.

My wife's friend was visiting from Sydney, and she asked us to order a camera from these guys on her behalf, as they needed the same ship to address as the credit card bill to address. That sounds shady enough, as that's total bullshit. However, maybe it's just their policy. Whatever. Did I mention they have the best price for this camera? $199.00, normal price $250.00 I think.

Wifey orders the shit on my card, I get an email stating, "Thank you for your order. Please call our customer service dept at 1-800 -WE SUCKS." That's all. I assume the order was sent. By the time it should have arrived, wifey calls to see what was up. They tell her that I needed to call before they could ship the order. Now I feel bad, as I didn't call them when I received the email. They tell wifey that the order was sent that day (Tues), and will arrive by Friday. Friday comes and goes, no camera. Wifey's friend calls and emails them. Then I get an email from these turds, asking me to Paypal them $412.33. I'm confused, so I check out my credit card online and there's no charges. WTF?

Now there's no fucking way I'm Paypaling these fucks $400.00. So, wifey calls them to see what was up... and they tell her she ordered an extra memory card for $180.00. That's total bullshit, so wifey tells them to cancel the order, she didn't order that shit, what's wrong with you, and they hang up on her. She swears she could hear a boiler room in the backround.

Just type "bestchoicedigital complaints" in Yahoo search, and you will come across a wealth of shady going ons by these turds. Now I know why they wanted Paypal. It doesn't offers the same consumer protections, say a Mastercard or Visa does.
Caveat Emptor!

This all went down a couple of weeks ago, but I vowed to tell everyone I know to stay away from BCD. Personally, I'm still using disposable cameras... they rule!
