Sorry but this will be a very long complaint.
I have found this site on Google after searching many pages I was so excited at the thought that I
could get my partner the camera gear that he wanted for so much less than what we could by it here in Australia or on Ebay. So when he chose what he wanted I ordered it for him that being listed in US $ until checkout
1 of. Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 IF EX DG HSM for Nikon US$ 511.99 Shipping
1 of. Nikon AF DX Fisheye-NIKKOR 10.5mm f/2.8G ED US$ 330.99 Shipping
1 of. Nikon AF Zoom-NIKKOR 80-200mm f/2.8D ED US$ 581.99 Shipping
1 of. Nikon D800 36.3 MP CMOS FX-Format Digital SLR Camera US$ 1,623.99
EMS Rates (Shipping to AU (1 x 1.50g) at US$ 33.00 my order was in Australian Dollars as I used the companies converter chart. So I checked out my online order cart thinking I would pay via Pal Pal and couldn't as I was only given 3 options of payment Western Union, Money Wire and one other that sounded way to hard. I mailed the online help desk and asked why I couldn't pay via Pay Pal and was promptly sent this link from a Linda Lin at [email protected] that this would explain more http://www.buyonsalecheap.com/faqs_all.html.
Then after finding out pay pal isn't for 1st time buyers I signed up to Western Union online only to try pay again. I went back into the checkout cart and said I would pay via Western Union and was told check my email for confirmation and to confirm delivery address. This was the email response 4/16 Wholesale Electronics

But the post office lady noticed I didn't have a street address on the the form and said it was needed as the conditions with Western Union had changed recently and I needed one or she couldn't proceed / She also asked me if I was sure it wasn't a scam SO SO wished I had believed her but due to the quick responses to all my communications I believed it was the real deal.
So I again emailed Linda Lin with the below email

I am so sorry I need a more informative address for Western Union. Getting this reply within 20 minutes

So with that I went back to the post office to pay the account. As I said above I registered with Western Union earlier that day BUT when the Post Office lady put in my phone number she said there was no membership coming up for that number so I am only now starting to wonder if Western Union are just as dodgy as www.buyonsalecheap.com but she said I could pay and a gold card would be issued after by mail so I did that paying in total including money transfer frees of $25.92 and the cost of goods being $2665 a total of $2690.92 then I as was told by the Post Office lady email Linda again with these details
