I’ll paste here the same response I gave to the seller for why I gave the experience a bad rating:
“My main gripe with this product deals with the confusing nature of the product information. One of the most important pieces of info has to do with the voltage ratings of the device. As you probably know, using a device with a higher voltage than what the Zune or iPod allows would fry the mp3 player (as has been voiced in other customer reviews for the product).
First off, my Zune 2.0 is rated for about 5V (as is most mp3 players from what I know). This is way below what you say for your product on your product page (12V) even though you say the product is compatible with Zune. Even worse, on the actual packaging of the product, it says rated for 5V on the actual charger, but it says 12V on the product packaging. How do I know which to believe? Let me not take that chance…”
True, I’ve never used it, but why risk it. By the way, I bought my Zune and this charger at the same time, and DAMN how hard it was to figure out if these 2 are the same voltage! If you’re getting a new mp3 player and are looking for a charger, just get the mp3 player first, then search your nearest electronics store for something of a comparable voltage. Hope this helps someone!

I ordered this adaptor and it was shipped but the USPS lost it. The company shipped another unit, no charge, and I did receive it. Product was exactly as shown and this company does support their customers.
