Should you order from Cowboom's Bargains?
Every day, cowboom (dealtree/bestbuy) has a new deal of the day.
Sometimes, the price is excellent, but on every thread, there are people asking "why they only have 2/5 on Resellers rating" or "What is the condition". Well, I placed an order for 25 ipods, and here is my impression.
First, when you place an order, your billing address must match your shipping address or your order will be put under review.
They will ship your items by UPS from their warehouse a day or two after you place the order.
What you get though, is a gamble.
Out of 21 Ipod Touch I purchased
5 came in excellent condition (with screen protector on, flawless front, and light scratch on back)
3 came in somewhere in-between (has some signs of use, but in good condition)
8 came in Acceptable condition (Has significant signs of wear, but fully functional)
5 came Broken ( 2 has bad headphone jack, 2 has bad LCD and a small chip, 1 freezes on you every few minutes)
of the 4 Ipod Classics I purchased
3 has significant signs of use
1 in good condition
of the 1 Ipod Nano I purchased
1 came in like new condition
---------------------------------------------
so break down, this is what I received of the 25 units
6/25 in excellent condition
4/25 in good condition
10/25 came in acceptable condition
5/25 came broken.
------------------------------------------------------------
in conclusion, you should/n't buy "used" from cowboom if:
As a Gift: No
Cosmetic conscious: No
Bargain/daily use: Yes
