I tried to purchase from them and of course PayPal came up and said no-go!! I tried my Visa/debit card and nothing happened till I went to the grocery store and found that my card had been locked due to trying to do a transaction with a country (China) that is on the banks "Do Not Do Business With" list. Good thing the wife was with me or I would have gone home without my groceries. It would appear this company has issues behind the iron curtain.

vēer, if you cancel your PayPal claim I don't think you can renew it. My advice: try to get your money back through PayPal, and just forget about the $25 coupons. Also, you cannot open a PayPal dispute for products paid for by coupons. Remember, this company can no longer accept payments through PayPal for a reason (they are crooks).

Thanks R C, looks like Ill have to change my mind regarding cancelling dispute, Ill have to keep the dispute open untill the 45 day window closes, hmm, pitty they dont accept PP anymore.

It is indeed a pity. Just a couple days ago, I really wanted to get a SanRenMu GB-763 from HoursBuying. But I don't trust them enough to give them my credit card info. Right now that knife might as well be made of unobtainium.

Just wait for the next name change... ;-)

sorry for the lost coupons and discounts, but yeah do the Paypal dispute&claim thing.

come back to Dinodirect please :)

Hehe, Im all for DD as well, if they drop the prices on flashlights there, not much to choose from knives there, thats why I was so glad to order from HoursBuying, but their customer service proved to be worst Ive dealt with. Shame that I cant have my cake and eat it too, need to choose between cake=coupons or getting hunger away=getting money back.

I doubt they have even shipped my items, come to think of.

Guess what? Im not finally able to track my order and it says...

THAT IT WILL LEAVE HK POST TOMORROW :D!
WTF?!

Paypal claim remains open :D!

i have come to the conclusion after trying unsuccessfully to find it that this site no longer exists under this name

Which name?

You are correct.. they change names as they loose Paypal credibility due to too many complaints. DB is now hoursbuying.com and every now and then they are hotdealings.com. I wonder which name will be next.... discoveryhotbuying.com maybe?

They haven't got knives now if you choose the metal knife link on its web. Do you know why?

Yeah, only knife I could find is SRM T01A and thats the one they didnt ship to me due to being out of stock, no search results with Navy or Enlan names :D

I signed up and tried to buy some knives but absolutely everything about that site is screwy. The coupon they sent me didn’t work, the search didn’t work, parts of the site would diassapear. I couldn’t imagine a more flaky buying experience. There is no way I was giving them my CC info.

I just find the website was 301 to discoverybuying.com. they have so many domains and change frequently. I am very curious how do you know their website? do they advertise somewhere?

It's good to have you here, ahmed!

EDIT: Potentially offensive picture removed. Sorry about that!

Edit: Thanks Raccoon city! for removing the pic…

They are absolute sh*t and I would never ever buy from them again!

My case ended with PayPal sending me back my money for 3 out of 4 knives because only two were shipped and one of the shipped ones was wrong item+I was so dissatisfied with their service that it seemed logical to press on them to give me money back without returning any of the items.

Needless to say that the knife I didnt want has been abused, while the one I wanted, SRM 763 with patterned G10 handle has been real joy to carry :)!

Glad I checked here before giving these guys my CC info. I tried…REALLY HARD…to order 5 SRM knives. There search function is a joke. Nothing shows up when ‘SRM’ or ‘Sanrenmu’ is searched. Found the knives under ‘Ceramic Knives’ tab…huh? Cart would continually empty, and after every knife added to the cart, a new window would open. Site is way too finicky. Tried to pay via the paypal option, got a message saying something like…“problem with paypal, instruct customer to pay by other method”…again…huh? At every turn I was getting red flags all over the place.

I see here they no longer take paypal…so why to they still have a paypal link?

Thats the problem with them - once in a while they get too many Paypal cases opened by customers, thats when they turn of Paypal payment option and then, after some while, they change their store name.

And yes, their search engine doesnt work, I used google search instead, to find EL01B that I really wanted and despite my previous not-so good SRM buying experience there, I bought the Enlan because it was dirt cheap :D!
