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.

well when u think about it its not really their fault some employee probably at the shopping warehouse stole it and ofcourse the want to check into it, if they gave everyone a refund as soon as they got a complaint they would be in major trouble

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.

Since Last year i heard a lot of complains like this
about websites like
1saleaday.com
dailysteals.com
icemonkey.com
And you are very true about it.
They choose some random people to screw.
So far i had no problems of any kind. Even with high $$ or cheap stuff.
BUT
Always Pay with PAYPAL.
And like me always take a VIDEO when you open the package.
Tomorrow I am gonna get my GNEX from dailysteals.com

+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.

I second this.

This thread should be locked. The merchant is very reputable and who tells us you didnt just tale the device sell it in the blackmarket. Ive never had problems with them and they dont care about stealing a $550 device+they have sold almost 1000galaxy notes nobody has complained

[Q] Price too good to be true?

Hey guys,
I have been a XDA lurker for a while. I am looking at getting the P6800. I seemed to have found a site that is offering to import it at a wholesale price. It all seems fishy to me but I figured I would see what all of you had to say...

Ummmmmm
I think that website is 100% authentic. I would jump on it before they are gone!

what is the site?

Exactly my point in my reply...
I have some nice land for sale in Florida .... great deal too...

So whats the name of the site? I got mine from one in Hong Kong at a really cheap price

I dunno, this seems a bit fishy. First post to XDA and asking for people to check out a website....Good thing they can't post links yet.

You could be right, it may be an employee looking to get people talking about there products or drum up some bushiness! But they did join in 2009.
But to be fair i very rarely post as I am not as well endowed as many on here (with the skills needed for dev work that is and I don't look forward to being flamed), i have bought my device from HK, quick delivery and having followed the guidance on another forum can confirm its genuine, Samsung accepted it on my product account, tested perfect and everything people ask. The one thing I did note was the description on the package for customs, again reading elsewhere, it may get held up but the owners of the website say there paying import duty, hope this helps.

Haha, sorry guy's being new I was only allowed to post every 5 minutes or something like that. Basically I got distracted...

at 230 bucks for a 3g model is probably too good to be true, this tablet probably costs more than 200 bucks to manufacture alone, so at 230 I doubt it. googling reveals this
http://www.scamadviser.com/is-buyingstore.co.uk-safe.html

Oh, yeah. That's gotta be bull****.

Its so tempting. I have thought about using my credit card so it would be easier to dispute the charges if fake.

It look just enough like amazon not to get sued

did you decide to order from here in the end?

There is a zero percent chance that that is legit. The price is way too low and I'm willing to bet they don't have a good way of contacting them.

It's not worth the risk. If you really want one then look for a more reputable site.

I am still waiting for my income tax return but I have decided that I will be going with a reputable source.
Thank you guy's for your input.

Agree its not worth the risk, thanks for the input.
Really like this device but cant help but hold out to see if the google tab becomes a reality

I may buy one from HK, I need the Calling features, and from HK they're about 600

Website with CHEAP Asus Tablets For Sale

So I stumbled across this site and it has a bunch of different tablets for sale at greatly discounted prices. The site claims they are brand new factory sealed.
But it all just seems so sketchy to me. They haven't responded to my e-mail so I don't know. They do have a phone number listed but I haven't called them. Is this too good to be true?
http://www.fortunetablets.com/index.html

given that they have not "certifications" of trust on their web site I would say no. No eTrust, no Credit card trust certs, nothing. If it quacks like a duck.....

Just did a WhoIs check and it looks like the site was just created a few weeks ago. I guess it is too good to be true.

ToD thinks scam, especially considering the lack of certs on the site.

ToD just ruined my day. Just kidding, thanks for the feedback, I might still try to call them at some point and see who answers. I'm still in search of a cheap SL101!

If they're not on ResellerRatings.com with a good rating, avoid like the plague.

Okay, so I got a response about 2 minutes ago from the company. After asking them why the prices of their tablets are so cheap, here is the response I received via email:
"We are running a sitewide sale till the end of July after that the prices will be going back up. If you have any other questions please let us know.
Thank You"
I'm not really sure what to say to them now. Is there something I could ask for to prove their legitimacy?

Paypal certification or something of the like, cite the WhoIs and that they're new, and that you'd just like some consumer security.

Consumer security, I like that phrase. And I don't believe they were set up with PayPal when I put something in my shopping cart and pretended to checkout. Thanks again, ToD. I'll wait for a reply.

They could have not responded at all or barely spoken English. Both of those things would have been a lot more suspicious.

They want your money, of course they'll respond.

Did you at least use a generated temp credit card number with exact fixed amount? I hope your card company is tolerant of you disputing 1ks of dollars over the next months and you enjoy changing card numbers.
Was the transaction even encrypted?
Here's hoping they just charge you for a tablet they never ship.

Checked with my charge card, 3 months to contest and they guarantee it will be reversed.

Did you get a confirmation receipt or tracking number after you ordered?

64GB MicroSDXC Sandisk - $16.55

Not sure if legit, but I ordered. I know some people jumped on the ones for $24 or whatever they were back in November, and I missed out on it, didn't want the same thing to happen.
If I lose my money it was on my discover card I think I'd be covered, plus it's only $17!

NEVER buy one from China! I bought PSP and Phone memory cards from China before. They were fake! If it says 16GB, it probably is a 2GB. If it looks to good to be true, it probably is.

Garunteed fake.. I feel bad when i see people jumping into this... Perpetuating spam..

The seller has 200+ perfect feedback. Plus there's always eBay's Buyer Protection. Hopefully everything works out for the buyers though.

That is correct, HOWEVER, if you win the case, you have to pay to ship it back to China. It'll cost more money to ship it back and its not worth it.

Yes and No about that. I've been using eBay for over 8 years. I use it pretty much daily lol.
If it is in the US, they will give you a free return label to ship it back.
If it's in another country, you have to pay out of pocket and it must have a tracking number. To ship it with a tracking number (a must to have since they have to see it is delivered), it will be well over $30 (if I'm not mistaken) to ship it to China.

sooo tempting :$

If indeed it's a legit 64GB this is such a steal! I hope it's for real!

I saw one negative feedback on the seller feedback, saying that it is scam this SD card, well I think It does, I guess we have the same tracking number, it shows nothing on the website.

The wait is over! Ebay has finally shut this guys account down. I contacted paypal (I paid as a paypal guest account) they informed me since I paid as a guest there was nothing they could do to recover my funds. So I am contacting my visa card to get this refunded. I will never do this again. I figure this guy is laying on some nice beach in china drinking a margarita with some girls, telling them about the chumps he has worked lately.

So....Groupon sent me two...

Got my note Wednesday and another showed up today. Looked at my bank account and I've only been charged for one. Same order number on the invoice and everything. I did email them. Hopefully they'll reward my honesty. Do you guys think they would've ever known if I didn't say anything?

My friend once got two LCD televisions, but ordered only one.
He never said a word about it to the company where he ordered those. He still got them and never heard anything from the company.

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.

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.
