Have you purchased any product there or know anything about the site?

It is a Chinese site.

As such, they only sell cheaply made counterfeits and not the real thing.

That 1 week old site with the crap name is registered to a Chinese address, I can't think of a worse combination.

Look for your product on Amazon, there are Chinese sellers there but they are better checked for reliability by Amazon.

The 3 basic tests you can make of an online store.

1) Check the domain name whois owner information, many of the Chinese counterfeit sites will be immediately exposed, (anything from China would be fakes.)

2) Test 2: check the Contact Us page, if there is no identifying phone# or address forget it, imagine how easily an email alone can be ignored.

3) Search the web for complaints, try Googling: "thesite.com" scam, to see if it's been submitted to fraud site registries, a site under 3 months old may not yet be included even it deserving.

I ordered a tablet off of this website and waited a week before I noticed that it wasn't even shipped out! So then I went through PayPal to file a dispute and then the company shipped out the "tablet". A few days later I received the package but instead of finding an amazing tablet, I found a one dollar coin in the envelope.... I'm currently in the process of getting a refund, and this adventure cost me $40 for the tablet and $8 to ship that coin back. This site sucks.

My neighbor purchased a cell phone from this company. She thought she was scammed out of her money and to her surprise, she received the phone via USPS. It is a real phone and of good quality, so I have to say yes, this company is real.

pues si, hice un pedido de una laptop en ese sitio, para probar, pero sorpresa, recibí una gran moneda dolar americano del año 1888, perdí mi dinero,

asi que no intenten comprar en este sitio.

es una total estafa.

I ordered a tomtom and instead received a 1 dollar silver coin. the business model for electronic8884 is very simple but not sustainable (unless they keep changing names and keep evolving)

1) They list most items for 35~45 USD
2) They ship the 1 dollar silver coin through the least cost postal option
3) Buyer opts for refund through paypal faces the option if he ships the 1 dollar silver coin back which take 20 USD so thats where he either goes with the refund or hold it back
4) Seller earns quick bucks in case buyer hold it back!

On March 21st I placed and order for the Canon EOS 60D SLR. On March 22nd the item was shipped and tracked from Chine to my home. I received a 1888 Morgan siIver Dollar. I went to PayPal and saw that on March 24th the money was credited back to my account. PayPal stated that this account is a problem account and refunded my money.
This person sends out something to show an item was sent and tracked. You have no idea that it is just a Morgan silver dollar until you get it. Paypal told me that it was up to me to keep the silver dollar or send it back. I kept it. The person doesn't have my money, the shipping cost came out of their pocket, and I can sell the silver dollar for its silver content and I will get something for it. He has nothing and I have a few extra bucks.
The final message is to stay away from this site. It was too good to be true and their are those out their that have been scammed.
