BUYER BEWARE!! NYJD items may be too good to be true

I should have listened to a previous reviewer about sizing inconsistencies. I have this exact rolled cuff boyfriend style and was ordering up to a 24 because the 22's I currently own can be a little snug to wear all day. The pair that I received from Amazon is supposed to be bigger, but somehow Size 24 is smaller than the Size 22 pair of Tanya style jeans I've been wearing. I've never experienced this before and have to agree that these are irregular defects that ended up here as castoffs. I couldn't even get the 24's over my hips, but can zip up the 22's from Nordstrom just fine. Bizarre waste of rush shipping all because I wanted a more relaxed fit for my Christmas travels. So much for that plan, huh?!? I really hope these are not counterfeit products. I will never buy NYDJ items on Amazon again.

I just received my order from Shoplet.  The order that was listed, and that I purchased and was "confirmed" was for "2 BOXES (25 per box)".  I ordered 2 boxes.  The shipping charge was appropriate for 2 boxes, for a total of $16.94 for the 2 BOXES of file folders.

WHAT I RECEIVED WAS "TWO" - REPEAT "TWO" FOLDERS thrown loosely in a large box along with a large catalog that weighed more than the folders!!!  That makes EACH FOLDER OVER $8.48!!!  Unforunately, I read about other Amazon members having bad experiences with this seller after I made this purchase, so I wanted to add to the previous warnings about this seller.

P.S.  At least Shoplet had the decency to follow-up by saying they will send the remaining folders as they advertised.  BisonOffice simply cancelled my order 2 days later when they said their pricing was listed incorrectly.

I purchased what was promised as a "2002 dime" from this seller last year, and I should have known better then.

A warning to you all.

No picture means NO PRODUCT.

After shelling out $2.77 PLUS $8 for shipping (!), I was told that the item was no longer available.  Did I get my money back?  NO.

A word to the wise, if someone is offering you a nickel from 2003 (as if they even MADE them that year), ask to see a photo first.

What makes this even more tragic is that this is the exact piece I need to complete my collection of coins.  I currently have a penny:2004, a dime:1998 (awesome!), and a quarter:2006.  This nickel would complete my collection, but alas, it does not exist.

This may be the same jerk who told me that he had a DOLLAR coin for sale too.  AS IF..!  Like they're going to make a dollar coin.  They already have those, moron, they're called DOLLAR BILLS.  I was about to give him the 47 cents he wanted for it until, ONCE AGAIN, no photo..

My search continues for a nickel.  I don't even care about the year anymore.  People like this just ruin it for us serious collectors.

Immediately after I picked up the package, I noticed something unusual.  Beside the normal wear and tear, there were suspiciously large amount of extra packing tapes, a sign of possible repackaged product.

Upon opening the box, my doubt was confirmed.  There are quite a few small dent and dings, scratches from dish washing, and even some oil residues.  Since the return policy says the return shipping will only be paid for "unopened" item returned due to "our error" (which apparently will require an investment of both time and phone fee to prove), I am facing the choice of either coughing up a sizable return shipping fee or keep the item as it is (together with some food residue).

So... buyers' alert.  Item not sold by amazon.com are not fully covered by amazon.  If you still decide to try your luck.  I suggest you immediately reject shipping if you notice any signs of suspicious packaging when the mailman drops the package to you.

I got extremely lucky and got an almost perfect clone of the SJ4000, operating system and all.  There are so many fakes out there that there is just no way to know if what you get in mail will be what was described online.  I tried to buy another one and it was a horrible fake.  It had no real options to it and the worst part was that the only thing that gave it away was looking at the operating system once you opened it and turned it on.  The Chinese seller made it a real bitch to get my money back.  My advice, avoid all that, pay a tiny bit more and get a genuine SJCam SJ4000 from them directly.  The peace of mind and time NOT wasted is worth the little bit extra you'll pay.  I would not press my luck an try to find another GOOD clone again.

If an item seems too good to be true...it usually is! I was sucked in by the AMAZING price of this 14 inch digital frame. I have a good friend who ordered this exact same frame from another vendor and he has had nothing but problems & Westinghouse customer support has been non-existent. I figured at this Amazon price I would try it, and if I had problems I would just return it to Amazon.

To make a long story short, my frame arrived defective, I tried customer service at Westinghouse ( I called 5 times!)and had a very similar experience with AWFUL customer support. I have heard rumors that Westinghouse may be filing for bankruptcy, and after this experience I believe the rumors. I will be returning this frame ASAP and spending a little more money for a different frame from a reputable company.  Westinghouse does not care about the quality of their products, doesn't care about their lack of product support, and clearly doesn't care about their customers. But then again, why would they care if they are going to file for bankruptcy?

RUN AWAY from this product (& Westinghouse)....don't just walk!!

Its now months after I purchased TWO sets of full shocks from this seller (one for a 4Runner, one for a Rav4), and I decided to still write the review to save others the same embarrassment and pain of getting NOTHING LIKE YOU SEE ADVERTISED.
The sets which came are not the brand (Got unbranded OEM and some "CAST" thing), and not even usable/compatible: my mechanic returned them to me in the same boxes I sent them to him. Sigh.

The problem is that I live outside of the USA and it would cost me a bit too much to return the items or start a case against them. But no no, I am totally not satisfied with what I got. Please be ware.

I ordered this item directly from New York Bar Bell. You can see some pictures of the rack that I received in the Customer Images.

The quality of my power rack is sub-par. There are metal burrs left behind from when the holes were punched out for the safety bars. Plan on having a metal file on hand to remove these after you spend time to assemble it.... otherwise they will strip the paint right off your safety bars. There are quite a few nicks and scratches to the enamel. With this many scratches out of the box, who knows how long it will be before it is rusted over.

The numbers on the uprights are pretty sloppy. My TDS decals were placed on so crooked I had to remove them. The unit wobbles and rocks on the floor. Definitely not commercial quality.

I did not have any luck getting replacement parts. I emailed NYBB with some pictures and than I called NYBB and spoke with them about my uprights and they said "ship it back, we will refund your money". I asked them if they would just ship  out new uprights.. they said "nope... we can't inspect every package.. just sent it back, we will refund your money".  I guess I'm out the $122 freight it cost to ship it to my house.  Good companies will be glad to send out replacement parts for new items... not TDS!

The assembly directions are pretty bad as well. Part counts don't match what comes in the box. The directions are more of guides... you'll need to figure out how to put it together. If you are not mechanically inclined or have problems with IKEA directions than you won't be able to assemble this yourself.

As a side note, I also ordered a bench from them that came with a rusty foot rest tube. They do not sell used equipment.. this is how it came new!

If you live near their showroom and own a truck, you might have better luck with them. If you have problems, you can just take your equipment back. Otherwise, don't gamble on TDS equipment. The Powerline Power Rack is cheaper and will work just as well. Don't make my mistake of thinking this rack is of "high quality"!

I will begin by detailing my own stupidity:
I was looking for inexpensive gifts for a "Grab Bag" exchange at the family Christmas gathering, and happened across the pretty pictures of the scarves offered by Scarf_tradinginc.  they looked like a good value - none more than $6.00, so I tried to order 7 of them.  I was confused by the process and attempted to start over.  Instead, I later found out, I ordered 12 of them (the original 5, plus the 7 on the second attempt). When I discovered my mistake a little later, I tried to cancel the original 5 with Scarf_tradinginc, I was informed that the order had already been processed.  I was resigned to finding something to do with 5 extra scarves, when they arrived.  The original 5 arrived on the same day, packaged individually, each accompanied by an invoice showing shipping and handling for each one!  "Oh, well," I thought, "I goofed up and I'll pay the price (literally)".  Then the other 7 arrived in one package.  Each item was listed with $2.99 shipping on the invoice!

I believe this is deceptive marketing - just another way to inflate the price.  The items appeared to be a good value at the listed price, but adding $2.99 to each one devalues it.  I should have remembered, if it looks too good to be true, it is probably not true!

Originally, the ad didn't specify that it was a "Ten pack". In fact, at least, one customer has already stated they received only ONE with their order... not TEN. There are several other things to be suspicious of, as well. For example, the seller hasn't commented on any of the "one star" reviews, hasn't answered the question(s) from potential buyers, and the ad is posted in "Outdoor, Lawn & Garden". Come on... seriously? No one in their right mind would be this careless. If this was my product, and every single one of my reviews were only "one star", I'd be doing everything I could do defend it. This thing screams spam, or scam... or both.

Be a smart buyer, and shop elsewhere.

I highly doubt the retail price is anywhere near correct - the listed price is pushing it. These pieces seem well made but I'd never pay more than $9.99. Looks like something from a TJ maxx gift aisle (nothing wrong with that but it does not look like a $50+ item)

To pay an exorbitant price for a game-used jersey that has no particular significance--it wasn't from the post-season; he didn't break or set any records while wearing it; it's certainly not a rookie year jersey, etc etc etc--and was worn by a player still alive, is a crazy waste of money. For me at least. This one at $1500 would be too much, let alone $15,000. I could understand if it were from 2009, but why would someone pay that kind of money for an Opening Day 2011 jersey?

But here's the kicker: Opening Day 2011 (3/31/11) was in the Bronx. So, how could've A-Rod worn a gray, away jersey that day? So forget about price and/or desirability, this is now a question of authenticity. I'd be surprised if the folks at Steiner made this kind of mistake, since they have a reputation to uphold in the sports collectibles world. So, who's responsible for this faux pas?

The promo was buy one dozen and get two free and save over 70%! Sounded like a great deal and it was too good to be true. Instead of getting my 3 dozen golf balls for the price of one, they gave me some unacceptable excuse blaming Amazon saying they had the product listed wrong! I then got this email from THE PRICE PROS: "We apologize for the error on your order and for any inconvenience it may have caused you. During an inventory upload on Amazon, the product you ordered was associated with the incorrect product description stated on Amazon. Our IT department has since resolved the issue.

Thank you for contacting The Price Pros. We are sorry to hear that the item you received needs to be returned. Your request is being processed and I want to outline the next steps.

You will receive an email with a pre-paid return label that contains the return authorization number and return address. The pre-paid return label will be emailed to the e-mail address associated with your Amazon account. Once you receive the label, please print and place it on the package. The item must be returned in the condition you described during your return request and must contain all original packaging and accessories. The item can be dropped off at any UPS facility.

Once the item is received back at our warehouse we will process a full refund"

I didn't want a return label, I want what was advertised - 3 dozen Callaway Tour iz golf balls, my other two dozen golf balls needed to be sent. This is not my fault and why should I be penalized or inconveniced by THE PRICE PROS. Potential customer's beware! If they make a make mistake their easy way out is to blame Amazon and send you a return label in order to get credit over their error. Obviously they have no regard to customer satisfaction.

Alright, so take a close look at those cards up there shown in the picture.
You're getting like, 5 of those.

This is nothing more then a scam. I will admit, I and the previous other buyers should have looked at the cards WRITTEN, not the photo they provided, but no matter, this is still probably illegal in some way I as a normal dude cannot fully comprehend.

If I were you, I would buy singles offline of the cards shown, and more importantly, not waste your money on anything sold by Toy Master.

Tl;dr I mad.

I have bought and sold AUTHENTIC jerseys for all pro sports for over 30 years, I collect game-used and authentics and I certainly have seen my share of fakes. Sadly, this is one. First, AMAZON should never allow sellers who are not honest about an item being "AUTHENTIC"  yet use that word in a product-description. This jersey's price as 'too good to be true' and IS NOT AN AUTHENTIC MLB ON-FIELD JERSEY.  How can I prove this?

REAL MLB 'on-field cool-base authentics' have underarm panels sewn in to allow ventilation and motion. This jersey doesn't have this feature.

REAL MLB authentics have the 'made in' and wash-care tags sewn in a specific area, the inside lower-side area. This jersey has no tags to indicate where it was made.

REAL MLB jerseys have the 'jock tag' sewn in a space that will be un-seen hen tucked in. The "Authentic MLB /Cool Base" tags are way out of position.

After 30 years, I can also just look at the tackle-twill and fonts and notice subtle differences from team-specs. This jersey has these subtle features as well.

Overall, its an okay (Most likey CHINA-made) knock-off and perhaps worth about 20 bucks or so, but this seller either is dishonest or doesn't know anything about authentic jerseys.  Either way AMAZON should do a far better job of who they allow to sell on their site.

This seller omits to mention that the card is or isn't  a reprint of an original card that is hard to find in its authentic printing.  Collectible means to me from the actual era, not a later knock off.  Vintage wine is from the year on the label, right?  Or is it really a legit card from 1953?  The description is  carefully worded to avoid fraud but invite false impressions.  Its a picture if the 1953 card but printed when?  "For the smokey burgess fan"  gives him an out if someone cries foul. It is a snare to the person who is not aware of the existene of inexpensive look alike reprints with no value for the collector at all.

So, if its a real card from the set, it should say so.  And if its a reprint with value of pennies,it should also say so.  But the price implies it has historicity.

Amazon should monitor this kind of shadow entrapment.  Its bad for everybody.

This is a bogus offering so keep looking. It sounds too good to be true and unfortunately it is too good to be true. A scam? Feels that way so buyer beware.
