Go ahead and post your “Avoid this company list” I got my droid a couple months ago, and I was browsing around Amazon when I came across car chargers for $.75 a piece. I figured they’d be pieces of crap but for 75 cents, I couldn’t go wrong. I ordered through Amazon with a company called AccessoryOne. The total came up to ~7.50 with shipping and tax for 2 chargers (one for me one for the GF). The order was placed February 28th, as of today I haven’t received so much as a box or tracking number from them. I wouldn’t mind so much if I received them and they sucked, but I paid for something I never got. Below is the coorispondance I’ve had with them.

Yeah, I know…I recently cashed in on a deal at the Verizon online store…I ordered 2 of the car chargers, multimedia docks, and GPS holders. Free overnight shipping and they were on sale. I think it was like $100 for the 6 items. ---

Yeah, it doesn’t work like that lol. I know it’s a crappy 7 bucks, but the point of the matter is I just gave away 7.50 and got nothing. Not even a warm and fuzzy feeling. ---

Nope, cause I don’t live in Lockport nor Rochester. Between my dad and my brother there is almost always someone at my house to receive the package too. Also, I was never given this tracking number until I contacted them and they sent me that link. ---

It’s possible that could have happened but then the tracking info makes no sense. I live in tonawanda, so why would they be out for delivery in Lockport :shrug: _Bullet Out for Delivery or Available at PO Box, March 04, 2010, 9:44 am, LOCKPORT, NY 14094_ ---

Sounds like they are using Fedex SMARTPOST or a similar service. It is a shitty economy service where fedex ships your package to the USPS HUB and lets the mail man bring the package to you. It is very slow, I had ordered a pair of shoes that had to come from California. It took two weeks. ---

Mail order pharmacies. :tdown: Never ever ever use one if at all possible. I worked in a pharmacy long enough to know the value of having one pharmacy and a relationship with the pharmacist, but now I’m getting first hand experience with the organizational clusterfuck that is a mail order pharmacy. Doctor prescribed some stuff for the wife. Blue Choice says they’ll only cover it if bought through mail order pharmacy. I was out of town, but apparently mother in law spent hours on the phone and threaten action with a consumer advocacy group to get the mail order pharmacy to get their act together. Finally we get the medicine. I get billed in December, I paid 2 weeks later. I get billed again in February, forgot that I already paid, paid again. Now I caught it and come to realize that the mail order pharmacy is somehow two seperate entities: Medco and Accredo. They both billed me. Now it’s a clusterfuck trying to get refunded. I have no idea why there are two seperate companies involved in addition to blue choice. Thank God a single payer system wasn’t part of the healthcare “reform.” ---
