That happened to me with a large format printer who claimed to be located in Auckland. I didn't click on an ad, it came up in searches and before I put in an order I verified with them that they could meet my deadline.

When it didn't arrive on time it took me two phone calls to get the tracking number and saw it hadn't even left India yet.

I was able to successfully dispute it with my credit card company though.
