I will never order from them again!! i ordered what i thought was a brand new radio with CD player for my car. when i received the item, it was a refurbished radio with a cd player that didn't work. i almost returned it because i was not aware it was refurbished. then when i installed it in my car, i noticed the CD player didn't work so i began the long, arduous process of returning the thing to hi fi sound connection.

i filled out their form completely and stated that i wanted to return it for a refund (because i had found a NEW one somewhere else) they gave me the run around for 6 weeks! i went back and forth with them through email because customer service does not do phone calls you have to write to them. their return policy clearly states that i have the right to return the item. they received the item back, but never refunded my money. i finally had to get the bank invovled and i got my money back through my bank 6 weeks after purchasing this product.

DON'T ORDER FROM THEM! LET'S PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS BECAUSE THEY CLEARLY DO NOT DESERVE TO BE MAKING MONEY OFF OF US

On June 25, 2008 I ordered 3 Boston Acoustics 8" sub woofers. And on June 25th, my credit card was charged and I received my invoices via email...so far so good...

Fast forward to July 20th - still no product, and worse yet, no communication from the company. So, I called and after about 45 minutes on hold, I finally spoke with Tony who told me the subs had been back ordered and they would be shipping on the 25th or 28th. I said, OK, I will wait.

I waited until July 31st when the stereo build was almost completed and called again to cancel the order. I spoke to a "Customer Service" rep and they transferred me to a voice mailbox that was full, so I was disconnected. I tried to call back but received a message stating "the mail box is full" and was disconnected - AHA! They blocked my phone number!!! Ok, so the email starts...

July 31st - request my refund via email and get a polite response from Tony that what I ordered was on back order and if I see something else, they will ship it, otherwise, they will issue a refund. I respond that I no longer need the product, so please issue the refund. Tony responds back that the refund process will be started.

August 14th - I receive the following email:
sorry if you opened a dispute I have to ship the items now so you can drop
your dispute right now if you want it refunded otherwise it will ship next
week when our order hits. can offer you a discount for the delay but not
going to deal with you if you filed a chargeback.

August 26th - I received the chargeback from my credit card company so I emailed them to let them know that I would no longer be doing business with them and no further action was necessary on their part.
And, this entire time my office number has been blocked - but as I found out today, my cell phone has not been blocked.

This is a company that SHOULD NOT BE IN BUSINESS!!! They do NOT know how to work with their customers and they practice fraudulent activities. I was charged for merchandise that I NEVER received and they NEVER had it in stock. And, I was told it was on BACKORDER from Boston Acoustics, yet I was able to go to a local retailer (who matched HiFi's price) and pick it up and take it home with me. So, they also LIE to their customers. And, I waited 45 days before filling a dispute - more than enough patience on my end I would think. In total, HiFi Sound Connections had my money tied up for 61 days... UNACCEPTABLE!

DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY!!! For everyone who has had "good" dealings with these people, you are lucky... They will NEVER get any of my money again and I will make sure that all my friends know not to do business with this deceitful organization.

And, if anyone from HiFi Sound Connection wishes to contact me, please feel to do so at [email protected].
