Hmmm....I just called their 1-877 number and pressed 2 for customer service but a recording said they were currently closed, but the website says 24/7. I then called back and pressed 1 to place an order and believe me, the sound is absolutely horrible (crackling on the line). I'm not so sure about this company.

UPDATE: I finally got someone to answer after a few minutes of hold music and a young woman answered (I also heard others in the background talking). I asked how long they have been opened and she paused for about two seconds and they answered "since 1933."

UPDATE 2: http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/retailerratings/displaystore.php?storeid=1717 (not getting good reviews)


update 3 I have ordered from them several times. They are legit.

in for one....the cost of the bulb should more than make up for the cost of replacing my halogen bulb

Got mine, thanks OP! Just a slightly humorous side note... I caught this shipment timing blurb between checkout steps 2 & 3:

Costco is selling 13 bulbs for something like $8 or $9 - there is an instant discount of $5 or something from the Electric company - check that out before you jump here.

RE:

The electric company rebate is very localized.
However in Calif and So Oregon the lamps while not Sylvania are usually 79¢ to $1.00 at many retailers.
Also 3 wattages are offered. Same price.
Of course not at WM

The discounted/subsidized CFLs I have seen and bought have been 23 W. This deal is a 13 W, which can be handy if one does not need the brightness of a 23 W.

reseller ratings - very bad

In my view, not worth the hassle or email spam

Dude, 21 reviews don't mean anything. Check out their Amazon ratings (4.5/5 .. which ain't bad)

Amazon rating link

But it still makes me wonder, they are probably paying more for shipping, even if the bulb costs nothing to them. So, in fact they are loosing money on every shipment.
There is no such thing as a free lunch (or bulb) in this world. Where's the catch..... Spam/junk mail?

Cheap advertising? If they lose $1.00 but you now know about their site and order in the future = possible profit!
