P.S. Please have your order number ready when you call.

I called WiseTronics.com to verify that they had this camera in stock before I placed the order. Twice they assured me they had this camera for this price in stock and told me to go ahead and place the order online. I did exactly that as you can see in the above order confirmation.

When I called them back to verify the order and listen to the additional sales pitch, they said "oh Sir, the camera you ordered is the overseas version and does not have the USA warranty, software, or USB cable that the American version has and would be shipped bare.
I protested a little and was very frustrated by their Bait and switch tactic, but told them to ship it anyway.

They said hold on and I will transfer you to my manager. I held on for approximately 12 minutes and the manager picks up and tells me that the camera I ordered was not in stock and it would be 3-4 weeks before it would ship. I pleaded with him to not screw me around for several minutes. He told me not to beg and that's the way it was going to be. Again I asked him to please honor his online advertized deal. He said hold on a few seconds and came back to the phone and said "your order has been cancelled At that point I lost my cool and hung up.
