I will never use this site again for any future orders. I placed an order for the Sony a7II body only camera, which came with a free bundle package (all junk, but hey it was free) it said the camera is in stock. I didn't think to look up reviews on Fumfie.com before that, but I did afterwords. All the reviews I saw were pretty scary, and mostly said the same thing. A few days later I started getting calls from blocked numbers, I don't answer blocked calls so I ignored them. Then I got an email from Fumfie saying that "I need to call them to complete my order" and that they have been trying to call me, which is what everyone said in their reviews. Basically they want to try to sell you more stuff, and that's exactly what happened. I explained to him I didn't have any more money to spend on it right now, but that if everything went well with my order I would buy from them when I get paid again. He assured me that it was in stock and that the order would go out that day and that I would be getting a tracking number shortly, and he guaranteed it would be here by the end of the week. Then he hung up on me. The next day I looked at my account on the site and saw that it said "in shipping" next to my order, cool, but still no tracking number. So I called and asked for one but they told me it was being prepared for shipping and that I would get on when it shipped, soon.
I still never got one so I looked a few days later and on my account page, under my orders, I could see hundreds and hundreds of orders placed, and if I clicked on them I could see names, addresses, what the order was for, etc. All the info on the person, except their credit card number. I never logged out of the site before this, since my initial signup, I chose the "keep me logged in option" so how could I be seeing all this info? The site allows you to download a pdf of your invoice from the orders page, so I could actually download a pdf of every single order placed with them from other people, and all the persons info on it, hundreds and hundreds of orders. I checked my credit card and didn't see any charges, so I called Fumfie and told them what was going on. Of course they had no idea, and asked me to send them screen shots of what I saw. I looked later and saw that it was fixed, still, huge security flaw on their site. Glad I used PayPal. But before we got off the phone I asked about my order, he told me that it WAS NOT in stock and that they are hoping to get some in with their next camera shipment tomorrow, which would be Friday, and for me to call him back at 3pm and because of my trouble they would throw in a extra battery for free, or that I could get a refund or a different camera... Ok... why is it "in shipping" when it's not in stock? The website says it's in stock, the guy trying to sell me extra stuff says it's in stock. He said he doesn't know why the other guy would've told me it was. So I call him back at 3pm on Friday, they were closed. I looked at the site and saw they close every Friday at 3pm and that customer service doesn't open again until Monday. I'm pretty fed up at this point. You can actually place phone orders on Sunday, so I called and acted like I was going to place a new order, I asked if the exact same camera, the Sony a7II, I ordered was in stock, he told me yes that it for sure was. So I explained to him who I was and what was going on, and asked why was I being lied to?? He told me I needed to call customer service on Monday and that there was nothing he could do, that he only handles new orders. And he also said he doesn't know why the other two guys would tell me those things, which seems to be consistent with them.
So I call customer service first thing Monday morning, a different, more friendly guy explains to me that, even though my order was placed over a week ago, because I didn't choose a express shipping option that I was not as much a priority as some one who would order after me, if they chose an express shipping option (even a week later) that they would come first no matter how long I was waiting. So a week and a half after I placed my order I still have nothing, with no end in sight. He told me that I was right, and that they were wrong and that if I wanted a refund that he could do it right away and that it would be back in my account buy the next day. So I did. I checked back around 3pm that day, still nothing so I called the billing department this time. A different guy said "oh, you want a refund?" YES I DO!!! And he pushed it through immediately, I saw an email from PayPal while I was still on the phone with him. Were they waiting on me to confirm I wanted a refund, again?
So a few minutes later I placed an order for the same camera on B&H Photo, it's in stock, they sent me a tracking number that evening and it's on its way to me. It costs $50 more than on Fumfie but at least I'll actually get it. I will never bother with them again. read more
