ECost.com Dishonest advertising, fine print disclaims everything Plano Texas

eCost has it down when it comes to Dishonest and Deceptive Advertising. They first get you to pay them extra money to be a member of their Platinum Members group where they promise "Outrageous Offers" and they are realy outragous offers like the $19.99 JawBone II or a $49 Nuvi-360 and then they claim that these will appear on their web site sometime between 11 AM and 11 PM Pacific time to keep you checking and looking for this offer.

Some times it looks like the offer actually appear, but most of the time it never does but still they post a note that the item has terminated and you never have any opportunity to actually purchase it. Other items that are on the list with very limited quantites and so when you place an order to purchase it, the order is later canceled with no reason or cause listed...

Looking at the normal prices, they are run of the mill and often they are selling Remanufactured products for only pennies less than some other sites sell the same thing new.

I have purchased a couple of items from them. The first was a perfect sale with zero problems other than a bit slow onthe shipping. The second time I actually got a purchase through it arrived with parts missing and instead of fixing the problem I had to contact the manufacturer and request the missing parts. When in fact the packaging was open when I received it and so it is pretty clear to say eCost never shipped the complete item and knew it.

I wish I had seen this site before they got me for the extra $39 for the Platunum membership. Now I have to hope that at some point I find something that is discounted enough to break even ont he deal. But I have my doubts that it will happen.
