Update on Info

I looked in my email today to some surprising information. As many of you know Best Buy purchases the phones from the company therefore we can sell the phone at OUR price with NO rebates.
The new contract price will be $199. thats all i know. and all anyone knows. the phone will be released the second week of june. I get a hands on with the device on may 17th. soooo pumped. and i will keep you all updated the more i find out. that is 2 days before the may 19th event in new york. but anyways im pumped. you should be too.

Its going to be information over load soon enough and I for one can't wait

Avoid DailySteals!!!

I ordered an EVO View 4G from DailySteals during the liquidation sale and got an empty box. I emailed them and got no response and their phone number directs you to email them.
I just won my PayPal dispute but wanted to warn others about their practices to help someone else avoid my troubles. Now off to scour eBay for a View close to what I got back from them.

I ordered a NEW Nexus S from them. Came out just what I expected. Even the factory screen protectors were there. IMHO DailySteals is a legitimate site which sells items at huge discounts. Hopefully it works out for you because I had luck with them in the past. Oh and when I emailed them when it would ship they replied 24 hours later saying it just shipped.

Well I am glad it worked out for you but a lot of reviews state the site is bad news, I didn't find them until I started having problems with them. Maybe it was a mistake but the fact they ignored countless emails day after day just seems wrong to me.

Yeah if I was in your same situation I would of acted the same way. When I looked at the reviews when I was thinking about buying the Nexus S, all the reviews were good except for the fact that shipping was slow. GL.

yea i ordered nexus s and it was legit. Maybe they did a mistake or something.

I believe that Dailysteals acts as a middle man or liquidation service...
I have ordered from them and got the item in 3 days, and I have ordered from them and it took 14 days.

I order items from them all the time, and their affiliate icemonkey, never an issue. Most things take a while to get here.

Haven't had an issue. Support is slow, shipping is slow, but my package arrived in condition as described.

They wouldn't ship my item until I made a PayPal dispute 3 weeks later!
Never again!

I ordered the htc view on the 16th and mine still has not shipped. Am calling my credit card company by friday if i dont get legit tracking.
They no longer reply to emails phone or chat.
But they sure as hell are still selling items everyday.
They are scammers.
What they do is committ to sell and ship items without knowing how many theybcan even get. Then when they cant get enough they wont tell you in hopes that you just go away and only respond once you file a claim.

That's pretty absurd to be honest. What seems far more likely and logical is that they deal with a 3rd party supplier. There have been cases where they over sold an item, but I've never heard of someone not getting their money back.
And do you people think you are the only ones who buy from them? They sell HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of items a day for suppliers who are likely over seas. This kind of activity takes TIME and PEOPLE and most of that is likely out-sourced... guess where... over seas!
Also remember, you don't get tracking till it's in the country. Only super expensive 3rd party shipping get tracked from over seas.
It's like Wal-Mart. I hate that place because there are a million people there at all hours of the day and most of them are pieces of garbage in one form or another. That's my opinion, I'm entitled to it. Know what I do though? I DONT GO TO WALMART.
If you don't like how a business who is obviously successful handles it's business... DONT USE THEM. Complaining and shouting absurdities is not going to get you far.
I've never had any problem with Dailysteals or 1saleaday.... It just takes patience sometimes.

your rant would be valid if they stated their shipping and handling times. i haven't gone to their web-site, but i'm sure they don't state it's gonna take forever (i.e. more than 1 week) to ship.

One week isn't that long to piece everything together. You get amazing deals if they have what you're looking for

On their website they say that usually their shipment is done with in 6 working days. I have ordered BT handfree from them on 28th Dec. It should start shipment today. Let's see what happens.

1saleaday - Scammers

I ordered a Galaxy Note GT-N7000 (i9220) from 1saleaday.com on 03/15/12, and finally received the shipment yesterday (03/28/12). When I opened the shipping container, I discovered an unsealed Galaxy Note box (These were sold as BNIB) that contained all of the accessories, but no Galaxy Note. I have been in constant contact with them the last two days, at which point they tried to persuade me into purchasing today's deal on the Note, at which point they would refund my money and cancel my previous order. Unwilling to do this, because I am already out $584, and was not prepared to throw good money after bad to a company that does not even have a customer service phone number, I was finally informed at the end of their business day today (4:30 PM EDT) that I would NOT be receiving a refund, after all. You see, apparently I am not alone in this, and rather than them take care of the customers who have already tied money up in their shady venture, they now want to do an "investigation" into how widespread this may be. I signed a sworn affidavit attesting to the fact that I did not receive the phone, just the box and accessories, yet they still refuse to refund my money or send me the phone. I do not believe they do this to everyone, but I think they selectively choose random customers here and there when they think they can get away with committing fraud. So, consider this a heads up that doing business with these losers can leave you without the item you paid for or the money you used to pay for it.

I have bought quite a number of items from 1Saleaday and received everything in order including a BNIB HTC View 4G. Just file a dispute or charge back from your Credit Card. Hope you get your money/phone asap.

I have gotten a tentative refund from my credit card company, but this could easily devolve into a "he said, she said" mess, which I want to avoid. What I do not want to avoid is publicly defecating on their business name, which I am in the process of doing across the internet.

I bought a motorola Atrix lapdock from them a couple of week ago. Finally got it 3 and1/2 Weeks later. It was a b#$&h trying to communicate with them. It was only $55 but I was that close to calling my credit card company and filling a claim to get my money back. that's the first and last time I'm buying anything from 1 sale. Might be a good idea to call your credit card up and see what your options are.

Exactly. I'm no fan of 1Sale either, but they can't just issue such a large refund immediately. If I were in charge, I'd want to investigate this claim as well.

Their internal investigation is of no consequence to me. They asked me to just sign an affidavit so they could issue the refund, I did so, and the minute I told them I was not interested in buying today's special, they changed their tune. Either state that I am getting it, dependent on some conditions, or tell me they need to look into the matter further.

+1 for sure, I always set up my tripod and camera before I open the package, even if I'm super excited to get it. I've gotten a box of CD's and a few rocks instead of an XBOX on Ebay. I'll never make that mistake again.

I had an interesting experience with them as well when I was in the market for a 2nd computer to do some dev work on. Received the computer that I purchased from them and it had a bad power supply. Argued with them and it took 3 weeks after receiving the computer for them to issue me an RA and return shipping label, then another 3 weeks to get my refund.

I ordered 3 htc Evo views from them all came flawless. Also ordered 32gb cards a bunch of other things from then with no issues. Hope everything works out in your favor...

I've dealt with 1saleaday on numerous occasions. They may be slow about sending stuff, but I've always received what I ordered. Willing to be they've got someone nefarious in their warehouse/shipping partner chain. Hope it all works out for you!

Thank God !
Well I got my GNEX today !
And its all good.
but while packing the rest of the stuff back in the box, i thought of
something. I think its not THOSE websites they are screwing people.
But their packaging department people probably trying to get away
with some stuff if they could, while packing.
Any way, I thank God that so far I have bought a lot of stuff from
these websites and never had any problem.

Your most likely right but @supremekizzle did the right thing.

legally they can't do anything. shipping something to someone is concidered a gift if you didn't authorize the purchase.
reap/sow/comes around crap... things don't come ariund they just keep going. and whose to say what's just happened isn't a reaping.

Definitely kudos for keeping it honest in a sea of immorality....

Yeah, but in all likelyhood if I would've kept it they would've found out anyway. The funny thing is, it originally was shipped with UPS shurepost which I upgragged to UPS ground. The second one I got was also upgrated automatically. So I wonder if they shipped it out using the exact same shipping label. Maybe they would've never found out after all. But it'd be a ****ty thing for me to do to keep it

We got once two cupboards... and at this time it was legal to keep them (in Germany) without informing the seller. Only when they ask I have to say that I got two. When I remember correctly then after 2 year they both were mine (before I was only nicely to store the second one

Good job OP.

Man screw that. I wouldnt have said a word... Karma doesnt affect business deals, only when you screw over a person.
I had a similiar issue with a Nexus 10. I had to exchange it so Google sent me an RMA, i sent it back and they said they never got it yet they sent me a new one when they were in stock.
Then refunded my money. So in essence, I got free Nexus 10 Tablet form Google.
The same people that hoard our data and then sell it without our knowledge or TRUE consent (yeah, Samsung does it too!) dont deserve the same rights that the shop keep down the street from me deserves.
OP you wasted your time emailing. They gifted you a tablet. Were were you when I was struggling for donations to buy mine? lol

I'm not sure that's true. Zavvi sent out PS Vita's by accident to customers and made a legal case out of it. AFAIK, they were actually backed up by UK law. That said, I'm sure it's entirely a country dependant thing.

Well letting them know saves you from worrying I guess.

They DMd me here because I'd been looking to review the zero lemon case. Odd way to do it, but they wanted to PayPal me the money for the case, and then have me buy it on Amazon. I don't have PayPal (and it seems like a weird way to do it), so it looks like they are going to send me a Walmart GC instead. Again it seems like an odd way to do it, but I'll let you guys know how it goes.

They paid my order with PayPal. I agree, it seemed super odd to me, but it seems a lot of groups are having to do it this way, due to some new rules from Amazon about using promo codes for review products like other have in the past. At least they paid up front, choetech wanted to pay AFTER the review was submitted, which seemed a bad idea.

They paid my order with PayPal. I agree, it seemed super odd to me, but it seems a lot of groups are having to do it this way, due to some new rules from Amazon about using promo codes for review products like other have in the past. At least they paid up front, choetech wanted to pay AFTER the review was submitted, which seemed a bad idea.

Good to know. I am doing a review of the CHOETECH panda charger, and they will pay after as you said. I don't have PayPal so they are going to send me a GC. I'm not too worried about it because they make good products, I've bought numerous CHOETECH products.
I know Amazon cracked down a while ago about companies discounting for reviews, but didn't realize they were cracking down on promo codes as well. In fact, I reviewed a cheotech charger that I got using one of their discount codes.
I guess in the end, if I don't like it and they don't send a gc, I could always just return it to Amazon. I was just worried that if I did have PayPal, they might do a charge back.
Edit: I guess I was just surprised since Zero Lemon was just sending out the products directly. At the same time, if the Amazon review isn't a "verified purchase", it might look shady.

They DMd me here because I'd been looking to review the zero lemon case. Odd way to do it, but they wanted to PayPal me the money for the case, and then have me buy it on Amazon. I don't have PayPal (and it seems like a weird way to do it), so it looks like they are going to send me a Walmart GC instead. Again it seems like an odd way to do it, but I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Amazon is trying to cut down on paid reviews / free product reviews, so this is the way many manufacturers are getting around it. Amazon can see if reviews are coming from people who got the product free using a promo code. They can't see if you got reimbursed through Paypal after the fact.

Which is why it's a shame that the Amazon vine program isn't available to more people. I get some. Companies were abusing the samples for reviews, but honest companies want reviews for people to buy stuff. The whole reason I took a chance on CHOETECH products was the great reviews.

No, don't need and can't afford a ZR1. It's a 2015 Stingray.

Beautiful color choice!

I've added a review of this case to my case reviews thread, here:

TL;DR: I like this case a LOT.
