ScienceLab.com is still at it!

Hi everyone, just a quick update... sciencelab.com has not stopped with their stealing.

http://www.resellerratings.com/store/ScienceLab

We've also received several comments and emails that we've neglected to follow-up on too much, but it's all the same familiar story.

From October 6th:

"Yet another victim here in PA. Strangely, I did receive the highly regulated Iodine I ordered from these crooks, but got shafted on a burette and other items. Only out some $60 at this point, but really, really steamed about it. I'm usually very good at spotting the shady online shops, but sciencelab.com made a sucker out of me. Love this blog and all the excellent links provided, I will use them to take every available step to get what sciencelab.com owes me."

From August 27th:

"I received one of my orders (the non-hazmat) after calling them every day. Now I'm having a hard time reaching them by phone. I tried for 60 minutes to get someone on the phone (over 90 calls at least). I actually heard them pickup the phone and physically hangup on me. Finally got someone. Their excuse was "the system is down and they can't look anything up."

I think they know who's calling and which calls to avoid. The days before that I got the excuse of "have to check with the product manager" who either just left or is busy."

ScienceLab.com, you are thieves!

ScienceLab.com - Chemicals & Lab Suppliers, or Thiefs?

If you're reading this, you've probably found yourself victimized by fraud.

You might've had an initially painless experience placing an online order for some classroom supplies, or maybe a small handful of science related items for use in your lab. Maybe you've called and talked to a pleasant sales person over the phone, or found that they had some difficult to find product that nobody else seems to be able to get ahold of.

We're sure they took your money, and gave you an invoice. They probably told you it'd be just a couple days for the product to arrive. What, there was a backorder? No problem, as it will likely show up on next week's delivery from the manufacturer. Just a few extra days shouldn't be a problem.

But did your order ever arrive? Did they possibly swap out the items described and invoiced for a lower quality product? Did they refuse to issue a refund? Were you strung along for so long that you can no longer file a dispute with your credit card company?

You've been stolen from by http://www.sciencelab.com/.

If you have stories you wish to contribute, please contact the authors of this blog at sciencelabdotcom@gmail.com. We wish to put your stories right here, out in the open for everyone to read.

While we're sure none of us are wanting to take sciencelab.com to court for our relatively minor losses, we're sure we all want to incite at least a little vengeance.

Go on, you're justified and deserving of it.

Good luck out there, and safe shopping!
