Thumbs down Terrible Experience with Electrodiscounts

Where do I begin? I had read various reviews and it seemed that Electrodiscounts received generally high ratings. They also listed one of the lower prices for a Sony 42" HD TV and noted that it was in stock. So I placed my order. The first thing that raised a suspicion was that they debited my credit card account immediately. I believe this to be illegal as they are not supposed to do this until the product ships. The next day I received an e mail from a sales rep saying that they were "eager to ship" the TV, but needed me to call them immediately to confirm my shipping information. This was a ruse and an attempt to talk me into purchasing a service agreement and other accessories. I told them all I wanted was for them to give me an airbill number. He said that usually happens within 48 hours. Twelve days and many, many phone calls and e mails later, I ended up cancelling the order. I am amazed this company stays in business operating the way they do. They engage in deceptive business practices and will continually lie about when they will ship. I have no doubt that any good reviews that appear here were generated by an insider. In summary, beware of doing business with Electrodiscounts. Pay more and go elsewhere.
