Anybody having trouble with tekgrabber.com?

Nov 17, 2012 6:22 AM

I ordered a case for an iPad from them; it was a sponsored ad here on Woot (I think on October 16). The ad said "Pad 3/2 New Generation Built-In Bluetooth Aluminum Keyboard Case (Black) for 26.99 and free shipping." A number of us talked about it on the boards that night. I paid with PayPal & haven't heard a thing since. No copy of the order in email, no shipping notice, nothing. I sent email to tekgrabber.com customer service on November 4 asking when I could expect to receive the order. I'm still waiting to hear from them.

I'm curious about whether the same thing happened to others. I made an official inquiry through PayPal when I didn't hear back from tekGrabber. If there was some delay in getting the things or some other problem, that would be fine...but not hearing a word from them seems alarming. But then I'm easily alarmed. Did you order this and receive it? Do you think it's my breath?

Yes...it's most likely your breath. Have you tried a good mouthwash?

Seriously...this has happened to me also. I tried calling the number on my confirmation email, but got a voicemail system that didn't identify itself as belonging to TekGrabber, so I'm a bit concerned as well. I sent them a message via their "contact us" page asking for an update by end of day today. If I don't hear anything, I'll start a chargeback with my credit card company.

Update...no response from TekGrabber. I started the chargeback process today.

In a sense, I'm glad to know it wasn't just me, although I hate knowing it happened to others. I never would have ordered this had it not been one of Woot's sponsored deals of the day. Woot, I hope you're taking steps to see that these guys don't use Woot again to defraud us.

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.
