[email protected]BY 5-12-07 I had received no Tracking Info, so I sent them an email stating :
" I did not receive an email on July 8, nor I did not receive tracking information on July 9th. In fact I haven't received any information about my order since being given the schedule on the day I ordered.
What is going on with my order????"
This was their reply:
Hello,
I'm very sorry that tracking email has not been sent.
Your order is still moving along as per your invoice
and shipping dates have not changed.
The problem is that our mail server crashed and we
send out our tracking and order updates from our mail
server. We are now operating on the backup server
which is dedicated to emails that are not bulk updates
such as tracking.
You will get your tracking email as well as your shipped email within 48 hours as everything should be sorted out by then.
Thanks for your patience,
Management

[email protected]By 7-25-07 I still had not received my order, so I sent them this email:
On 7-18-07 you sent me a notification of order shipped that stated:
Your order has been Shipped
It will arrive on or between the following days:
================================
1. DELIVERED: Wednesday July 18 - Saturday July 21
Your order will be delivered during these days.
(Please add 3-4 Days for International Orders)
It is 11:52 PM, 7 -25 -07 and I still haven't received my order. The Tracking number is worthless. Since 7-18-07 the tracking info has stated the the order shipped on 7- 18 -07 , and nothing more, no info indicating where it is, when or if, its expected to arrive. Can you provide me with some info on my order besides the fact that it shipped on 7-18-07, and should arrive by 7-22-07???
Thank you.
On 7-26-07 they sent this reply (the exact same reply they sent on 7-13-07):

I immediately sent them this message:
Your reply below does not answer my question (where is my order, what is going on here)!!!! You sent me exact same reply back on 7-13-07.
If my order was moving along as per my invoice , I would have received it at least 5 days ago!!!!!
It is now 7- 26 -07, that's 13 days since you first sent me this bogus reply, not the 48 hours required to fix things that you stated in it. My order was supposed to be delivered by 7 - 21 -07. I can only conclude that someone is lying to me. On your page on shipping, you state " With our carrier's advanced delivery system, your order is tracked from the time your package leaves our distribution center to the time it arrives at your doorstep!" Oh really!!! Then why haven't you answered my question ? Where is my order?? It should have been here at least 5 days ago.!!! On your home page , you claim to be committed to offering your clients a simple shopping experience, affordable prices and fast and responsive service. My experience with you has been the exact opposite!!!! On your FAQ Page, you state, "Why should I buy from TVBoxSet.com? The answer is simple... We have the best PRICES, QUALITY, and SERVICE anywhere? Try us; we'll prove it to you."
So far your service qualifies as possible the worst , I've experienced.
If I don't receive my order by tomorrow (7-27-07), or actually speak to a living person, I will cancel my order and contact my credit card service reporting that you are possibly engaging in fraud, and report my experience with you to the various Internet Seller Rating sites.
The same bogus Reply will not suffice , again!!!
Today is 7-30-07. I've received no order, no phone call, and no reply to my last email. I contacted the Canadian Postal service about TRACKING #: CE507902224CA, and they told me it's a phony . Tvboxset.Com printed a mailing label using that number, but they never gave the postal service any package.
These guys are crooks, plain and simple!!!
