Deal Extreme customer service

Well, it gives me the page of order tracking. I don´t have tracking numbers for that order yet.

HOWEVER: when I first log out, then use your link and login again -> my account, I get a different list of purchases which includes the transfer from week ago.

Thanks! This is strange... New account manager does not have all other orders I have made in the past.

Back in mid-June I ordered a small, very cheap pocket-knife. Come mid-August I hadn't heard a thing. I put in a query with DX and essentially they couldn't say when or if the item would ever be in stock. So I asked for a different item. After 2 days I got an email saying this item was also not in stock, although the site indicated otherwise. So I asked for another different item. Guess what? Out of stock. When this happened for a third time I just asked for a refund. However, more than 60 days has passed so they couldn't refund via PayPal. Then I got the following email:-

Dear customer,

Have a nice day!

I have kept $3.64 usd as store credit for the order,please note,thanks for your support with DX.

What?!

At this point I lost the will to live. In fact I'm writing this from The Beyond.


Make of this what you will.

A short time ago I experienced my first issue with a purchase from DX via PayPal.

Amid the PayPal sequence (standard checkout), PayPal sent up a screen saying that it had timed out (although there has been no delay on my side) and that I had to login again, which I did. The payment procedure continued from where it previously hung, but when completed, I received two pairs of email showing that I had effectively ordered the same item twice. I promptly cancelled the second order and got a refund notification in about a week.
