Buy.com charging me for something I bought nearly two years ago?
I got this email from Buy.com:
Quote:
I thought it was weird. I did not even remember ordering anything from Buy.com. I logged in and checked the order and it was something that I ordered 1/06/2007. I don't even live at the address it was shipped to any more. Does this sound crazy to anyone else?

You actually got what you paid for, right?
Maybe you changed your credit card info (via move/expiration date), they shipped but didn't get paid. Still, really sloppy, and they should totally let that go. |

Yes I got what I paid for. The products and shipping were charged and paid.

Sounds like a scam of some kind. Did the order numbers match?

Couldn't hurt to write a quick email of complaint, demand to know exactly what the mistake is.

Agreed... and probably the best bet. Two years is a long time... email them, and ask for an explanation.

No way does that sound legit to me. If you have a credit card registered with them, I'd delete it pronto.

I used to have to call customers regarding money owed for past orders for Home Depot. I can guarantee you that for $18, especially after two years, that bill would have been thrown out. There is no way I would have called or mailed someone for that.

I can understand money owed, but they are changing what they charged him if I understand his post correctly. |

Sometimes they do a good job of shaming companies to a resolution. Although buy dot com apparently has no shame. At least according to some of the feedback I found through google-ing |

That number looks awfully suspicious.

You don't seem to be the only one with problems with Buy.com. They have quite an impressive list of complaints

So they are saying that they just now discovered that they should have billed your CC two years ago, but they didn't.
Sounds like somebody just discovered a more than healthy sized accounting error. If it was just a handful of errors, then they would have written it off. To go through the PR hit of attempting to recoup the funds, there has to be a substantial dollar amount involved. How bad do your controls have to be in order to not reconcile your cc transactions against the actual receipts/credits? This would be a SOX nightmare....or is it? Is buy.com publicly traded? |

I was going to call it at first, but I didn't really believe it to be the real number either.

Legally, they can't charge you for that unless the law has changed at some point.

That's such bullshit.
To make me feel better, I'm never shopping at Buy.com again. So it's a net loss for them for being such douchebags. |

Really should take it up with Buy.com before you blow it out of proportion, like consumerist.com does. |

The question is, is this true information, or is it false? Did you actually get charged for the excess amount previously? |
