Please for all of you smart people that search the web to find out about ripoffs and scams before doing business with any web company I will gie you one to look out for beware of SHOP NBC.

I gotta be honest, before purchasing something from them I came here and found a lot of stuff but I went for it. Yes, the deal was attractive a Technomarine Watch with 3 extra bracelets for just $450, a bargain! Well bargain indeed, these were all the wrong things with this deal:

1) The watch box was not complete.
2) The screwdriver for changing bands was not in the box where it's supposed to be with every new technomarine watch.
3) The warrany did not come with the watch. What watch retailer would not send a warranty with a new watch? One that is an unauthorized retailer who refurbishes and sells defective product.
4) More importantly, the watch did not work!!! Which proves my previous point.

Of course I am returning the product and NEVER buying anything from these guys again. I decided to write the ripoff report just to keep anyone else for going with these deals. I recommend the following: everytime you find a hot deal for a Branded product simply check with the parent company (owner of the Brand) whether ShopNBC is an authorized dealer. That is what I did, I went with technomarine.com and ask them about shopNBC and they told me NOT to purchase any technomarine watches from them, they are unauthorized and will sell you defective and refurbished product not guaranteed by Technomarine. I bet you they are unauthorized dealer of everything they sell!

I am an ex-employee of ShopNBC, and while I can't justify the missing pieces that you claim weren't in the box, I can say that they are authorized dealers of all the watches they sell. Had you of read the information listed on the website, you would have seen that these are TechnoMarine by Swiss Watch International. The website you reference is for a completely different watch manufacturer. Please be sure of the information you present when accusing a company of selling items that are unauthorized. You are lucky they haven't seen this and sued you for defamation.

I'm sorry that you received a watch in the condition that you claimed. I worked in the area where the returned watches are checked by a refurbisher, and those women that do that job are very good at their jobs and I find it hard to believe that they sent an item out like that. However, they are humans and humans do make mistakes. I'm sure if you had contacted customer service they would've been more than happy to mail you the missing warranty and tool.
