My first purchase from the net was from autotoys.com...Avoid this place at all costs! It was my faut for not looking in to it but there is no phone # and no email address to contact them. There is some kind of forum but you have to register and I could never figure it out. In the end the were out of stock and they cancelled.

speakerhole.com they have great prices and their product seems of good quality but i had my problems with them.It took them a week to just ship my stuff i had no tracking number no way of telling what happen to my order i called e-mailed countless time and never once got a response. then they did not have the rca cables i wanted in stock so they sent me the next best ones they had without changing the price or letting me know they also forgot to send me 75ft of speaker wire that I ordered they sent it out after i e-mailed them. great prices but order in advance so you can make sure to get everything right.

Carstereotime.com Great prices free shipping very nice page only problem i had was they promise next day shipping they did not ship for over a week

Thezeb.com{/B] Great site helpful people I ordered a sub from here that was onsale and they said they had but by the time my order went threw it sold out so thezeb hooked me up with the same sub but the USA version that wasn't on sale.they said they would give it to me for the same price so i bought it then they said they could let it go for that little i had to send them $15 kinda a pain in the *** but they were trying to help me out i had no problem with it very cool place

Originally posted by jtmoney let's do something called name and shame.....whenever you have had a bad experience with a company, name them and tell everyone on this forum what your problem/experience was so that others are aware....on the one hand this is aimed at illustrating to us all which companies and stores have a questionable record, but on the other hand also gives them an opportunity to improve upon their mistakes.....

 

we should have several categories -

 

ONLINE SELLERS

Theses are the ones that I know of, and some of these are good, some are bad......(more details to follow)

What was your problem with millionbuy? I'm thinking about buying a Alpine 7965 cd player from them.

 

[jtmoney 10+ year member]

i didnt say there was a problem with millionbuy.com. if you read it carefully, its just a list of some of the companies trading online who i know of and it invites other forum users to post a note, saying yeh or neh and using the list as a guide.......

I noticed the same thing. But they do have great prices. And good products.

I also like thezeb great people to deal with. I will also have to add http://www.gatelyaudio.com when it comes to custom plexi enclosures Bobby is the man. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Iv delt with carstereotime.com, Ikesound.com, and cbrstereo.com. I have had good outcomes from all of them. Granted that some of them took a little while to ship the product but it was worth the wait as opposed to paying retail at my locla store.

cbrstereo.com has some bangin *** prices, try the top of the line kicker components the RSCi 6.5 for 179 , go anywhere else they are at least 250.

Just got my Type r from ikesound.com, no complaints, shipped in about a week to Hawaii! Im just waiting for the amp now. I wish they would go to the post office more than once a week but besides that everything was great

 

[beebe08 10+ year member]

[jtmoney 10+ year member]

Well, for anyone who might happen to live in Boise, ID, or the surrounding region... I had a really good experience with Dick's Stereo. I purchased 4 eXcelon 6.5" coaxials from them, and had them install them, also building custom buildouts on the rear deck (to fit these massive speakers above my torsion bars). The buildouts look amazing... you would think they were factory if you didn't know they were aftermarket. They also build a custom trunk board for my trunk. the factory flimsy piece of crap had deteriorated, so i took it out, and had them build me a cover out of 3/4 inch MDF board. it fits perfectly, every curve, and the carpet matches exactly, best of all, it only took 3 hours, and their custom labor is only $35 per hour. Plus, Dick's will do any level of stereo. On my old car I just had a deck and some 6x9s put in, and they treated me like I was putting in a show-winning system.

[jtmoney 10+ year member]

seriously though, on the one hand this post is aimed at illustrating to us all which companies and stores have a questionable record, but on the other hand also gives them an opportunity to improve upon their mistakes.....how can you improve if u dont knmow you screwed up bad???

I ordered a whole buttload of stuff from carmedia1.com and none of it was in stock. I never received an email from them saying it was instock or out of stock. so I called them to find that it wasn't in stock and they said it would take 10 days, and after 10 days I called them again and they said it would take a total of 30 days, so I call them after the 32nd day after the order and they said 10 more days. I ended up cancelling the order after a month and a half of them not being able to get the items I ordered in stock at all. Maybe they're okay if you call them and make sure they have the item in stock, but if they don't, it's probably not worth the wait for their better prices.

also, they asked to charge my card before they got the things in stock, which I heard is illegal from the google message boards about feedback on companies.
