I think you are being impatient but call them if it makes you feel better.

I placed an order 1/23/09 for a product that was supposedly in stock. It is 2/3/09 and I have not received the product, notified of any delay, or contacted in any way. When I check the status on their website, all it says is "pending shipment". I wish that I had ordered elsewhere. Next time I will and suggest others do the same.

I registered here when I saw your post.
I placed an order for 2 items with that site on 12/19/08 and was charged on 12/22/08. After a few weeks (1/9/09) with only the order confirmation and the "shipment pending" I left negative feedback on the site and got a call a few days later. I was told they have item A but item B will be in on 1/29/09. We both agreed to have the order cancelled in full for a refund (never happened). On 1/29/09 I gave them a call back hoping that I could get the items shipped or get the refund I was offered. This time I was told that item A was not in stock and no longer available from the wholesaler but item B was now available and could be shipped right then....

I gave them another call on 2/4/09 and was told that UPS sometimes doesn't give them a tracking # and that the issue would be looked into and I'd get a call back asap. On 2/5/09 I was told that item B was sent to the wrong address by UPS and that the items I ordered were not going to be available in the foreseeable future and that a refund would be issued. I'm still waiting on a refund. The contact Info can be found on the BBB site, the phone # listed is correct. The BBB does not show them as an accredited business, this may be just out of date. I hope your order turns out better than mine.

...these stories are not promising!!!!

I hope my story ends better! I have received one item of a two item order earlier last week...and according to UPS a second order I placed has shipped...so now all I'm waiting on is the other half of my first order...the prices are OUTSTANDING on the site, but as the stories are going I will have to wait what happens to me and see if I do anymore business....one problem I am seeing on there site compared to others is that they do not tell you if it is in stock, at time of order

I recieved a full refund for the items on 2/10. It wasn't any fun to wait that long to get no items and finally get my money back but in all the times I talked with CS they were friendly. The site now says they don't charge for items untill they ship.

I ordered on 4/20 and haven't seen anything and my card has been charged since day one. Actually I got an email that said "your order is coming". Looked like a child wrote it. I have called customer service like 5000 times and not one time has anyone answered. Do not shop here this place is a scam.
