I purchased an iPAD case with the Bluetooth keyboard. It was defective in that every letter key typed a different character. I follwed thier RMA process and shipped the defective unit back at my expense only to get another unit with the exact same defect! I called customer service to get my money back. The representative said she would get authorization to send me a return shipping label since I had already paid for shipping back the first defective item. After 10 days, I had heard nothing so I called customer service again. This time they refuse to pay for shipping the second defective item back. Apparantly, they expect me to keep paying for shipping their defective items back until I am tired of paying. They told me I would have to dispute the charges with my credit card company, so that is what I am doing. They seem to have been through this many times before and will probably try to fight it. I would never buy from them again.

I was working with my business partner who had the Sam's Club membership and I ordered a pop-up canopy for our outdoor expos. I input my credit card information and the billing address was declined. I called the national call center and they told me it was because their online ordering system only uses the first five digits of the zip code, and NOT the zip + 4. They actually instructed me to call my credit card company and remove the zip + 4 from my billing address! I told them that the Zip + 4 insured that any statements and new cards would be delivered to me and not elsewhere in town. There are mailboxes across town with the same numbers but have a different zip + 4 address. I told them that such misdelivered mail could lead to identity theft and credit card theft, and that they were instructing their shoppers to make their bank and credit accounts less secure. I asked to speak to a supervisor and never got a call back. When I called their call center again, they claimed they could not open the account to view or add any notes even though I had an open incident. When I asked to speak to the person I worked with before, they claimed that person was not in their call center and they had no way of getting a message to him. In this day of global networking, a company that cannot communicate from one office to another and refuses to use zip + 4 in their ordering system is way behind the times. I will never get a club membership and will not be ordering from their online system..
