Ubid.com Complaint - Ubid Sold Item Not In Stock -More Than 24 Hours Laters Adviced Delay - Usb Active Extension

Usb Active Extension - Complaint
Review by sailored on 2009-11-10
The email notifying delay said: "when you read this email the problem maybe is resolved or maybe not...".

Bottom line item not in stock was sold, I needed it very urgently and lost full 48 hours till I could go and buy another one in the store paying more money. It was also very difficult to cancel the order, wich took me long time.

No comunication with the company.

AVOID BUYING FROM THEM.

Over sells happen with nearly every online retailer at some point or another. NEVER buy anything online you need that quickly. How fast did you think it would come in the mail anyway?

Most things you order online aren't ordered right then and there. You only submitted an order. It takes 24 hours, or the next business day before the business actually orders your product... hence why there's that delay.
If you're in urgent need of something, don't let it become urgent. Online ordering isn't any faster than going to a business itself and ordering there.

very good point.

online can be often cheaper, but unless you're paying for overnight shipping it won't be faster

currently i think only amazon can go faster with their "same day" delivery. but that's only if what you're buying is carried by a local store. Oh but that's only offered in 7 major cities... and there's a cutoff on when you can order too.

It's like going to a bank or a fast food joint. They process things the same way whether you're going into the restaurant or lobby of the bank vs. the drive through. While it's more convienent to do things online or go through the drive through... it's still done the same way. It just seems like it's faster.

Pepper, also overnight shipping is not the next day after you bought it either. People think they will get what they buy right then. Over night shipping is overnight AFTER it has been shipped, which can be up to a week after ordering.
