5 weeks after I returned my Panasonic, because of false advertising (the
camera didn´t perform as they said), Pixmania still doesn´t pay me back. Oh,
it´s in the system and they KNOW I returned it to the store, but they
"can´t" pay me back until it has arrived in Paris!
I live in Portugal and if I order (well, never again, of course) it is in
stock (which is another lie, because they only have a wharehouse in Paris)
and I have it in 2 days. So why the hell does it take more then 5 weeks to
go the other way?
They use an old woman with a donkey for transport? Are they waiting for me
to die of old age?
On top of that I always have to dial a charge phone number, end up in Paris
where almost nobody speaks English, so luckily I also speak German and the
woman told me, that even after they finally have it in Paris, IT WILL STILL
TAKE ANOTHER 3 WEEKS BEFORE I HAVE THE MONEY IN MY ACCOUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does the word INCOMPETENCE come to mind?
False advertising seems to come easy to them also. the price they advertise
is always increased by some vague charge. SO? Advertise with the REAL price,
like other stores do. The manuals are ONLY in French, so you have to
download and print your own language.
And if you think they´re cheap: a Nikon D80 kit costs the same at
Mediamarkt, but WITH a original Nikon carrying case, a 2 Gb SD card and a
small Nikon tripod. With the printed manual in your language as well...
Maybe I´ll start a new website: WWW.PIXMANIA-SUCKS.COM

I had the same experience - Samsung 19 inch monitor with '160 degree'
viewing angle - sure, if you like posterized solarized colour-shifted
tones from 5 degrees off axis onwards!
It took them THREE MONTHS to credit me for the return.

2 years ago I purchased a lot of equipment from www.pixelpartner.fr
Fast delivery, everything in good condition. I never had to return
anything.
But suddenly they vanished, the website just went offline.
I think people running sites like that just operate under a certain
name for a year or so, then when people start to sending things back
for warranty purposes, they start all over again under another name.
pixelpartner, pixmania... get it?
BUT this is the risk you take when you shop around and buy at the
lowest price possible. I rather buy from a real shop around the corner
and pay a bit more, so that I get proper aftersales if needed.
I think I would like to know the nature of the 'false advertising'. If

lowest price possible. I rather buy from a real shop around the
corner and pay a bit more, so that I get proper aftersales if needed.
I think I would like to know the nature of the 'false advertising'. If
it referred to the camera specifications, that should have been
flushed out before placing an order anywhere. Returning an on-line
purchase isn't something one wants to do even with a reputable
supplier and should be reserved for defective items.
An item such as a camera should only be purchased from a well known
supplier. As the last poster noted, buying from a local shop is the
safest, but I've been quite happy with suppliers such as Amazon.

I live in Portugal and if I order (well, never again, of course)
it is in stock (which is another lie, because they only have a

it take more then 5 weeks to go the other way?
They use an old woman with a donkey for transport? Are they
waiting for me to die of old age?
On top of that I always have to dial a charge phone number, end up
in Paris where almost nobody speaks English, so luckily I also
speak German and the woman told me, that even after they finally
have it in Paris, IT WILL STILL TAKE ANOTHER 3 WEEKS BEFORE I HAVE
THE MONEY IN MY ACCOUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does the word
INCOMPETENCE come to mind?
False advertising seems to come easy to them also. the price they
advertise is always increased by some vague charge. SO? Advertise
with the REAL price, like other stores do. The manuals are ONLY in
French, so you have to download and print your own language.
And if you think they´re cheap: a Nikon D80 kit costs the same at
Mediamarkt, but WITH a original Nikon carrying case, a 2 Gb SD
card and a small Nikon tripod. With the printed manual in your
language as well...
Maybe I´ll start a new website: WWW.PIXMANIA-SUCKS.COM
Complaining here (or in the groups where this is Xposted to) is not
very effective I reckon... better to write a negative review of the
online shop on consumer rating/review websites like
http://www.tweakers.net/pricewatch
I am in France... maybe this info is useful:
2 years ago I purchased a lot of equipment from www.pixelpartner.fr
Fast delivery, everything in good condition. I never had to return
anything.
But suddenly they vanished, the website just went offline.
I think people running sites like that just operate under a certain
name for a year or so, then when people start to sending things back
for warranty purposes, they start all over again under another name.
pixelpartner, pixmania... get it?
BUT this is the risk you take when you shop around and buy at the
lowest price possible. I rather buy from a real shop around the
