Great. I got 4 of the 18 or so I ordered. Some of them were billed to me at
different prices than the ones they advertised. I am (as I said at least twice)
far more dissatisfied at the way they are handling people and the impression I
have of their general tactics(re: bait and switch) than I am over the fact that
I don't have what I ordered. I'm happy that other people have good experiences
with them, but please don't miss my point. The mere fact that you have doubles
and many people haven't even been charged for their orders should open up the
possibility (in the minds of those with good experiences) that something is
indeed screwy here and that equally bad experiences might be had by others. I
only posted this because it was an item of discussion for some time and because
people ahd asked for the results of those who ordered when they surfaced. I
don't wish to debate about exactly what constitues bait and switch (nothing to
debate, actually ...http://www.bbbsouthland.org/topic016.html ) nor do I want
to cause any consternation with those who got a good deal. Peace.
