Poor customer service and shady business practices
If you want to have some idea of what kind of business Meritline runs, buy a small, cheap item from them and then attempt to post a negative review about that item. In 24 hours, you will see that your review has mysteriously disappeared. They don't allow reviews to say anything about delivery time, price, or customer service, but even if you follow all of those rules, they will wipe out negative reviews. If you ever receive a defective product from them (and the chances are good that you will if you buy anything that is electronic) you will discover that the rest of their business practices are just as shady as their review system. They have a return policy that expires 7 days after INVOICE, but as many reviewers have said, they ship things very slowly, so the odds are very high that 7 days after the Invoice is posted, your product will still be on a boat on its way to you. In some cases, products take 30+ days to arrive, which also wipes out the "repair" period that Meritline allows. This means if you receive a defective product, your only solution is to contact your credit card company and try to fight the charge with them. This is no way to run a business. If you find a cheap item for sale at Meritline that is almost bullet proof and no more complex than a wheelbarrow, buy it. Otherwise, stick to sites like Amazon or Ebay that have far better return and buyer protection policies.
