Does anyone have experience with sw-box?

Nov 8, 2012 10:01 AM

So I saw a deal on the side just now for this site called "sw-box " advertising iPhone 5 cases. They sell case pretty cheap with free shipping, but I'm pretty wary of it. any suggestion?

Regarding sw-box, I assume you mean sw-box.com. This site appears to have been registered 6 years ago according to whois. That's all I know about it:

@cengland0: Beat me to the who-is.

The site looks like it's been around for a while, but I honestly share your wary-ness. Can you find any reviews of the site? They've been around long enough that they're probably reputable, but I'd do some digging and see if you can find anything.

It's Verisign trusted and accepts Paypal. Pay with Paypal and you'll have no problems.

Paypal is useful in cases like these (pardon the pun).

@jenifferkns: If you do place an order, try to pay with a method that does not reveal your credit card or debit card number to the merchant.

Realize that the reviews show that it takes a long time to receive the products. You have a small 60 day window in which to dispute a charge with your credit card company and it seems sometimes it can take longer than that. In all cases that I read where the consumer did not receive the product, the companies response was to give them a tracking number and tell them to wait a bit longer.

The tracking numbers seem to only track it to our country. Then, from that point, you have no idea where it is and how much longer it's going to take. It surprises me that it takes so long from this company when I order things from Hong Kong from other companies and things get here within 3 - 4 weeks.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
