Submitted to resellerratings.com:

Company acepted online order.
Contacted via phone, to find a rude sales person telling me they would charge $200 for shipping despite what their site showed.
Asked me to call back.
Called back. Sameperson answered.
Spoke very limited english. Refused to discuss order.
I asked for names, and he provided names that were clearly false.
I asked if "they were a fly by night company" and he said yes we are!
DO NOT purchase from these guys.

DEAL IS DEAD.
Ordered 100 and shipping of 155 came up.

 

[Ziptar]

I just checked the order status on Yahoo... "This order has been rejected."

Oh well... I am not surprised.....

 

[msh111]

Damn, they rejected my order as well--bastards. I was looking forward to my wife's face when 100 keyboards got delivered by the UPS guy.

Class action anyone, BBB filings, resellerratings.com dump, ANYTHING?? WHAT A RIP!!!

I REALLY thought this wa going to go through . . . not . . .

Would have been funny though.

 

[rml]

if the shipping is $155 and the price for 100 keyboard is $10, it is still less than $2 each.

Not bad at all if you really can really use it or resell it.

 

[explorer2k]

Im up for class action!

FYI, the shipping was originally $0, and I did printed it out. Luckily I ordered with a webcertificate with only $1.50 left back from the old free $5 promo, so HAHAHAHAHAHAHA to "Rich Pacific Technology" losers.

[marill999]

sweet deal, but i think u ppl r crazy! wut u gonna do w/ 100 keyboards! jus imagine receiving it in a 21" box!!!!!! lol!!! u ppl r outa ur mind!

 

[VisionsUCI]

hm.... please post if you get anything at all. sounds like a scam

 

[Zclyh3]

Man, if you got 100 of these, you could use them as weapons. You could even throw them at people. Heck, if it breaks when smacking someone, just get another one.

 

[flomokev]

I sent an email to yan_bin_li007@hotmail.com with a link to this post. I also ask about what happen to free shipping.

Oh, yan bin is the ad min contact for the web site.

 

[icantiwont]

This is too funny. Everyone ordering 100 of these things. I guess you can always ebay them.
Not surprisingly orders are starting to come back canceled. LOL

 

[Evadman]

How can they cancel them and still leave the .10 price up? That is so false advertizing. I can see them maybe wanting to sell them for 1.00 instead of .10, but if that is so why leave the .10 price up?

<edit>
Darnit, I have to edit my posts, beacue my post count is my lucky number 2 times in a row

Anyway, this is a Yahoo store right? Yahoo has some kind of protection from scammers that change the shipping after paid if I rememebr correctly. I mean, if you are gonna advertise and sell a $.10 keyboard, you should put a limit on how many you can buy, but nowhere does it have any kind of limit on how many you can buy. And the shipping costs are computed by Yahoo, not by the vender. They just put in weights. ( again, assuming my memory is correct )

The company is either trying to scam on the postage ( which almost everyone does nowadays, even Newegg started ) or is trying to lure customers in with an "unobtainable" item. #1 I can see, and can live with. #2 lands you in deep do do.

This can not be a pricing error, as I am sure 10,000 keyboards have already been ordered with no change tot he price. A poster above even said that he was called., and said price was correct, shipping was not. That is just horrable buisness practice. We shall have to see how this pans out.

And no, I do not expect any orders to go though unless it is for a few, not 100

[Dewey]

Good point Evadman. If they still advertise $.10 how can they reject your order?

 

[Bobomatic]

this would be a sweet deal if it works.

 

[daveman]

yep, my order has been rejected

the wife would have freaked out

 

[krakken]

I don't think he'll ship. It's a yahoo web store for crying out loud. He'll just say it was a typo and 1, try to charge full price, or 2 make people cancel the orders.

 

[FordLorider]

I swear, kids these days have way too much money to be throwing around just to "see what happens".
