I ordered a 20"TV/DVD/VCR combo from Sweepstakes Clearinghouse in February. I put $10.00 down to hold it for me. The price was to be $189.00 after the voucher was used. When the bill came in March, my balance was $231.59.
On April 3rd I sent a check for $231.59 to them to pay off the TV.in the first part of May, I received a post card stating they had received my payment and I could expect shipment of my merchandise within 30 days. My check for $231.59 cleared my account on April 15th.
On June 4th, I received a letter stating that I needed a physical address to send the merchandise to. I filled the request out sitting in the post office parking lot, bought my stamp and mailed it back to them that day.
This gift was bought for my son's 12th B-day on June 27th. I figured by ordering in February I would have plenty of time to receive it for his B-day. Boy was I wrong!!!
I came to this website and seen stories about being ripped off by this company. I found the # for Sweepstakes Clearinghouse and I called it June 27th. A recorded message tells me that my shipment is being delayed because I have an outstanding balance of $1.06.
I immediately copied my check and stub and I wrote a letter to them again with a check for $1.06 enclosed and my physical address again! On July 5th, I received another letter telling me I need a pyhsical address for this merchandise to be delivered to me. I have received a total of 4 letters/cards from this company over a period of 3 months. No where on any of the material does it say I owe $1.06.!
I just e-mailed customer service with another letter and some not very nice words for them to send me my TV or send me back all of my money including shipping and handling within a week or I will go to someone to report them.
I wanted to get this out here for others to see and to make other arrangements if you wan to purchase anything, do not do it through them!!!
