However, I called *** who was the shipper at 4pm and they mentioned that they had not received the package and that the label was created on 12:27pm which is later than Jeff had quotedI called Jeff to cancel the order and not ship it but he said it already shipped and that the shipper updates their system at midnight (I called the shipper and they said their system updates in minutes)So then I call Jeff again and he said he didnt care, the product had already shipped and that I would have to pay shipping and return shipping plus a 15% restocking fee which in total amounts to more than $because the camera costs $

Abe's of Maine advertised a LG Oled Etv on the internet for $I purchased it for that priceI then received a phone call to verify my purchase and when I called I was told what I purchased was the European model and if I wanted the US model it would cost $dollarsNo where on the site does it mention a European or any other It was just a bate and switch sales pitch to get me to spend more moneyI feel this is advertising and needs to be stoppedI also feel that they should be made to sell that model as advertizedThank you

This company needs to be shut down A total scam of a company Bait and switch I would give them the worst negative rating possible Had to give one star just to file a complaint and review but they aren't even worth that
Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: At first I was offered a yr warranty on the item, then I was offered a yr warranty and a $refund. Frankly, I do not trust this company and certainly not their warranty. I'm not sure where they came up with a $refund, but that is almost a negligible amount compared to the $300+ I was fleeced out of due to their bait and switch scheme. They should have to prove to me that there is more than one type of panel as they claim for this particular TV model. By this, I mean a snapshot of a back panel code on one of their "business/office" models, which they called an AUas opposed to the AH01. Based on my research, this panel model does not exist, so I was up-sold a TV that they knew didn't exist to make an extra profit. This type of business model should not be allowed to persist and should undergo serious scrutiny. The attached weblink from consumeraffairs.com highlights the number of "customers" that have fell victim to this bait and switch scam. If I can't get a refund for the difference in price from the TV I originally purchased to the one I was up-sold based on a lie, then I'd like to see the Revdex.com initiate their own investigation into this company to determine for themselves whether their business practices are legitimate.***
