Thumbs down Ouch

Well, it sure sounds like they are one of these shady businesses. They are even using the BBB sign fraudulently. Definitely may be worth contacting the attorney general's office.

Even Dell can be backordered, but this site seems to be stringing you along and you might not get the camera for weeks or months. Basically, they'll wait until the camera falls in price to what they offered you, then miraculously, it will be in stock. Unless, of course, you order the extra crap they push on you. Then, it will be in stock.

I can usually do a little better than Dell if I search a little bit. Their customer service has really been poor lately. A colleague of mine has one of their laptops and, while it's cheaper than a Thinkpad, will never buy another because of their service and build quality.

Take swift action against this company. If they are not responding and their e-mails are bouncing, be concerned. I do hope you used a credit card to purchase, as it would offer some protection. Call the credit card company right away. And monitor for fraudulent use!
