Hi Will,

I've only bought a couple of things from buy.com, but I was completely satisfied. E-mail confirmation, shipping advice and tracking were all top notch. Delivery of my MS took only 3 days, and I bought on a Sunday.--Ray

I've bought a range of things from buy.com and had no problems. After I got the 707 for Christmas, I ordered a 128mb MS, Battery and USB MS Reader. I ordered on a Monday -- and had the MS and Reader on Wednesday (with standard shipping). Got the battery a few days later.

Haven't experienced any problems yet ( knocking on wood ).

PS: I think the quick delivery times are affected by the fact that I leave near one of their shipping warehouses.

Good luck.

I purchased a lexar 128mb memory stick from them just after Christmas and their service was just fine. Thought about buying another but I note that they currently list the lexar 128mb MS as being on back order.

I've used Buy.com many times and always have had good service. However, I recently orderd the Lexar 128mb Memory stick from them and it was defective.

I haven't read all of the other posts, but i normally use buy.com exclusivly.

90% of their stuff ships from CA so i get it overnight without paying overnight. I've never had any issues in using them for the last 4 years or so.

They are normally very fast to respond to my email inquires should i have one...

If you can, wait for about two or three weeks. The prices should be going down after the new product announcement in February.

I've bought DVD's, CD's, hard drives, MP3 players, .......
Literally hundreds of items,
never a single problem

I ordered a 128mb MS from buy.com on Wednesday, it showed in stock at the time, today my order status shows "Sent to Warehouse". I'm in no rush, yet... It can't be bad as waiting for Dell to deliver that batch of 20% discounted f707's.

There's 2 online retailers that I truely believe in: buy.com and Amazon.com. I've bought books, DVDs, computer parts, CDs, electronics, digital camera accessories, etc. in the past few years without any problems. A couple of times I get a back order, but then again not many other reputable places has it in stock and at that price too.--Sony DSC-F707 & my soon to be Canon S100 http://www.pbase.com/zuffy
