I placed an order with this company on their website 1saleaday.com for the purchase of an unlocked T-Mobile Sidekick ID cell phone. I never received a tracking number for my order until after I actually received my order at my doorstep. I followed the instructions on how to operate the phone; I plugged the phone up to charge, and everything was fine.

I had filed with Consumer Affairs last week after the above company said they could not cancel my order, an EchoTrend battery charger and 4 NIMH batteries. I sent them a sharp email, demanding to know why the order could not have been canceled. Surprisingly, I received an email with an offer allowing me to keep the product at no cost.

I ordered a 3 Pack Plantronics MX150 Flexible Boom Noise-Canceling Headsets. What I got wasn't Plantronics, but what I got were Verizon Wireless branded headsets. Anyone considering doing business with this company should do a Google search and see for yourself the complaints concerning 1SaleADay.com ripping people off with fakes, non-functioning products and non-delivery issues. Their 800# is out of order, which is the same 800# that shows on my bank statement. US Bank’s Dispute Department confirmed the same 800# they had on file. I filed a dispute with the bank and they began an investigation. I was issued a temporary charge back, and three days later, they made it permanent. I guess they couldn't get hold of them either. I am currently working to keep this company off the websites that list their daily deals. So far, they have been suspended from Dealnews.com (which purged their listings of past deals as well), possibly others, but I am just getting started.

I purchased a battery charger and within a few hours canceled. The following day, they sent me an email asking for the order number to cancel. I did so immediately. The next day, they said it was not possible to cancel.

I ordered an Invicta watch, and a box showed up via postal service about a week later. Imagine my surprise when I opened the box and discovered it was empty. Attempts to reconcile this bizarre happenstance have been unproductive.

I bought several items from this company including 2 TomTom GPS units. The products were received on time. Great company!

I ordered 2 Ped Egg from this website which they advertise "free" plus shipping. I was surprised as Ped Egg sells for almost $10 outside. But somehow, I ordered 2. When I received them, I found that they are fake. The packaging is exactly the same as the original Ped Egg, but some images on packaging are missing. I opened them and found that they were of very poor quality and cheaply built.

In October, I purchased two MP3 players. It took awhile to receive them. On arrival, one of the charger adapters would not work, and the battery in the other one would only charge about half. I requested via email a return and received an RMA. I sent them out the next day. The box came back as undeliverable after almost two months. Another email asking what happened and was told ** and to go ahead and send them again. This time it was received and I watched my credit card statement to see when it would be credited. After two months, I contacted them again and was told that it was too late to issue me a credit and I'd have to take a purchase credit with them. I was not happy about that and probably just lost $80 as I'm not seeing anything I'm interested in come up. I will try to use that credit if something does, and post here the results.

I bought a GPS unit. It was shipped a few days later and I still never received it. It has been over 3 weeks now. They do not respond to any of my emails.

I purchased a Magellan Maestro 3200 GPS for $60 from this company. It was supposed to be new in box with a warranty. Instead, I received an open, Chinese version of this GPA, the 3200C. This model is illegal in the States and cannot be registered. Maps cannot be updated through Magellan and they will not honor a warranty since these serial numbers are only valid in China. When I called Magellan, they said this was illegally sold and I must return it to the store for a refund. I am out $65 for the receiver plus shipping. 1saleaday.com responded saying they do not accept returns on any item that is functioning when it is received.

I purchased a GPS from this site 1SaleADay on the 17th of March 2009. The website claimed that the items would be shipped the next day. The tracking number said the item was shipped. After calling USPS, they told me that the item was shipped as a parcel package. As for the free items, the amount for shipping, $5.95, is like 10x the amount that the company actually pays for shipping. Today is April 5th, 2009 and I still don't have it! This is ridiculous. Here is what I bought: 1 Omnitech 4.3 Widescreen Portable GPS Touch Screen with Text to Speech - new $59.99; subtotal: $59.99, shipping: $5.99, tax: $0.00, total: $65.98.

I ordered 2 cell phones from this company. They said the phones would ship the next day. After several unanswered e-mails, I finally heard from them that the order was shipping. It arrived 3 weeks later, and the package had totally different (and inferior) cell phones. They said I had to ship them back to get a refund, and now they are refusing to pay my return shipping costs after they sent the wrong item! Do not do business with this company. If you do, you will regret it!

Nov. 25, 2008 I ordered an mp3 player for a total of $44.98. Nov. 28, 2008 I received a message that the player was shipped and a tracking number was provided. Dec. 10, 2008 Tracking website still said that it hadn't been picked up for shipment. Dec. 11, 2008 I was told that it would be another 2 weeks because it was coming from overseas. Dec. 22, 2008 Item was received too late to go into a package, which was sent to Cleveland, OH containing Christmas gifts. The packaging was so poor the mp3 player box was cracked when it arrived. The item was junk, had been misrepresented and didn't work like it was supposed to. Additionally, it would freeze up. I requested an RMA number.

First, let me say that it's one of many websites that sell one item per day at a heavily discounted price. There are others like it that are smooth sailing and have great customer support; however this site has none. Each item has a retail price which is astronomically high which I feel is very misleading to consumers. I first ordered 6 camera tripods for $12. I received a USPS tracking number a few days later; however it was not mine (the destination was to another city). Their customer support via email did not reply to my email. Twenty three days later, I received a package from 1SaleADay which contains 5 tripods with a different tracking number listed on the box. The company did not reply to my request for reimbursement or ship the extra product I asked for.

I ordered two web cams on the 22nd of January. On the 28th, my cc was billed twice for different amounts each time. The order for both web cams was placed together so there shouldn't have been a double bill. I still have not received my order and the tracking number they provided was bogus. It's not valid with USPS, UPS, DHL, FedEx, nada. They ran with my money. The good part is I have disputed the order with my cc company and they are investigating. The 800 number for 1SaleADay is disconnected. It's nice that the website still accepts orders but no one to fulfill them - a stellar business plan!

Over New Year's weekend, someone had apparently obtained both my bank and PayPal info, or so it seemed at the time. Now, I'm beginning to wonder. I had made a purchase at 1SaleADay.com, but there were three holds put on my bank account the day before I made my first purchase. There were, in the same time span, several fraudulent purchases made with my PayPal account. I had sent my laptop in for service, so I assumed that someone in the service center had gotten the info from my hard drive as well as checking my browsing history so that I would assume that the charges were mine and ordered some merchandise.

I ordered a free item. A memory card for just the price of shipping. They charged my credit card twice and didn't respond when I complained through their website email. Never again!

Like Richard from White Stone, VA, I too ordered the MP3 players on November 25. I also received notice that they shipped, along with a tracking number for USPS. Christmas has come and gone, and still no players. I did get a response from 1saleaday that the 1st shipment was lost, and they were reshipped with the same tracking number. The last movement showed that they were in Brentwood, NY on December 23. Nothing since then.

On Nov. 25, I ordered a couple of MP3 players from 1saleaday.com. On the 28th, I received an e-mail indicating that my order had been shipped and including a USPS tracking number. So far so good. But about 10 days later, when I hadn't received my order, I checked the tracking number and found the following:
