Rangarajan,

Thank you for your warning about "World Gift Center."  In the past several
years we have purchased two Daewoo code free DVD players and a Samsung
multi-system VCR from them and been very happy with our purchases and even
recommended them to other units on campus and even on LLTI.  For the DVD
players they even matched a lower price I found elsewhere.  However, a month
ago I got a call from a media specialist from the East West Center here who
had had problems with them in returning a DVD player for repair.  He warned
me not to deal with them anymore.  Your post confirms what he said.
Although the website looks the same, he suspected that they have new owners
as the people he dealt with on the phone were different from when he
purchased the item and of course the service was different.  Last month we
purchased another Samsung multi-system VCR, but used another vendor (B&H
Photo) and even got it at a lower price than advertised by World Gift
Center.

We ordered a few Code free and region free combo DVD players from "WORLD
GIFT
CENTER". We
have had far too many problems, over charging, dispatch of wrong machine and
an
altogether
unprofessional attitude. The over charging was corrected. But far too many
problem linger on.
Please be advised to not deal with Mr. Peter of World Gift Center. The other
option is to only
purchase with Purchase Orders and not use credit cards.
