Bait 'n' Switch

Despite overall positive reviews of BuyDig, there were quite a few people who reported various problems, such as the store indicating stock online, but after placing an order the store created an excuse that led to a bait and switch situation.

While initially I ignored these concerns, when I got an email from them regarding my order I began to worry. The email indicated that the credit card number I had given them had not been valid. Conveniently I had a printout of the page on which I entered the billing information, and upon close examination, I realized I had entered the last digit of the number as a "0" instead of a "1."

Nonetheless, I worried that despite the fact that it was an honest mistake, they would find a way to take advantage. However, upon calling, I found the situation to be quite the opposite. They corrected the info, and I later received an email indicating that it had shipped. As of this post, FedEx reports that the package was picked up tonight, and has already left NJ. Oddly, the Estimated Delivery Date isn't until 2/10. They must have some slooooow trucks!
