Placed a order at dumbcorp.com for a vizio 55" LED LCD TV, Order went thru, credit card was charged. I selected site-2-store shipping method.
Same day I made 2 of my friends aware of this incredible deal (199.99), of which both of them purchased. The 1st friend, as did I, had our orders cancelled "Your order was canceled on 04/20/2011, due to a lack of product availability". The second friend, and last to order, has received his TV, and no amount of calling customer care will get us the TV at the low price of 199.
So we ordered first, and our orders cancelled. The last to order got his TV, no big troubles at all, for the very low price of 199.99
When I check the Walmart.com (dumbcorp.com) website, it says lack of product avail...
Very frustrated with their lack of customer service in this regard. This is FALSE advertising, a Bait and Switch, dishonest practice which is ILLEGAL in the state in which I reside.
Will contact: BBB, Attorney General, & Para-legal friend, & also file court case.
Funny thing about this is: Walmart is going to loose money ether way, they have 1 of 2 options:
1. Give me the TV, take the loss, make a customer happy (it was THEIR mistake).
Or
2. I will continue to pursue this matter so persistently, it will cost them. (hours spent on phone with reps & agents, lawyers, etc).
If they elect option 2, they will still loose (they loose ether way, they made a mistake), but they will also loose a long time Walmart.com & Walmart B&M customer.
The reps on the phone have not been able to be of any assistance at all.
Odd way to do business.
