Ripoff Report: www.stethoscopes.com

So i posted awhile back about buying a stethoscope off of www.stethoscopes.com ... so I whipped out my Visa card and bought a Littman Cardiology III for 175$ including shipping. It says on their website that it takes around 5 to 10 business days for delivery...that was like a month ago!

So i've been phoning them...no one picks up the phone. its just an automated message that says they are open between certain hours Pacific Time. When you phone back at that time its the same freaking message. The other phone number they provide is out of service.

Soooo....i email them! No response at all. So eventually I phone Visa to dispute this. They tell me it takes up to 4 MONTHS to get a refund and according to them they have to try and contact the company and talk to them...work it out, etc. And the Visa rep said on the phone that if the sellers proves that they shipped my stethoscope, then they wont refund my money even if I haven't received it!!! So much for getting your money back from visa I'M SO MAD RIGHT NOW

Oh and i looked online for companies that ship to Canada but I couldnt really find any....allheart and redding medical are supposedly good but they only ship within the USA. The reason i bought online because its like half of the 250$ that ive seen in uniform shops downtown for the same stethoscope. And the website looks legit (at least i thought it did ... i must be the only person stupid enough to think that it was legit )

uggh sorry for the long post !
