DealExtreme having major shipping problems ?

[Mike]

Hi, I ordered a multimeter on DX over a month ago. They took payment from my CC. After that ... nothing....

I reminded them and got a tracking number. That didnt work. Two weeks later, still no luck.

Then I contacted them again and they said my package "had been stopped in HK security check due to lithium batteries" etc. Then nothing for several weeks.

I contacted them again (now not so happy anymore). Then I got another tracking #. This also non working. After several reminders ... and more weeks ... nothing. Tracking still no good.

Now I sent an e-mail that unless they refunded me I would have to contact my cc issuer and report them and demand a refund from the cc company. Still nothing. Then I reminded two times. Then suddenly a THIRD tracking number was sent. This time the package was delivered in Netherlands.

What is going on with DX at the moment? Do they have serious problems? Anyone that can shed light on this? I have seen many postings online about similar experiences.
