I purchased a Canon Optura Xi camcorder from freedelivery4u's listing on E*Bay on 5/11. Freedelivery4u had two listings of the same item with 10 units available for each listing with a "Buy It Now" price of $620. They had 100% positive feedback with over 130 reviews. Before purchasing I called freedelivery4u to ensure that item was new, factory sealed and had a USA warranty.
After I purchased the item, I went back to the listing a while later to find that one of the listings had been canceled and the price on the other listing had jumped to $980. Several days later I discovered that freedelivery4u had been suspended by E*Bay, but E*Bay will not say why.
They charged my credit card on May 19th, but they have still not shipped the item as of June 3rd. The listing said that it would arrive within 15 days. I called on May 11, 18, 20, 21, and 25...each time they said that it would ship with 1-2 days. On the 25th they said that it would ship tomorrow but they were closed from May 26 until June 1.
Based on the similar experiences expressed by other Epinioners, I think that it is safe to say that this is a fraudulent business.
For the hardcore Epinions users who demand a description of the web site in order to rate a review "Helpful" or better: The website is well laid out, easy to navigate, and very professional looking (except for the occasional grammatical error). They have a good selection of products and amazing prices. BUT IT DOES NOTE MATTER BECAUSE THEY ARE A FRAUDULENT BUSINESS. IF YOU PLACE AN ORDER YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE YOUR MERCHANDISE!
