- : worth of goods and had to pay about $50 because they wouldn't cover my
- : order completely by my store credit. As a consolation, they admitted
- : that their store credit policy was faulty and they were in the process of
- : simplifying it.
-
- : I will never deal with this disorganized, ignorant outfit again. Buy
- : things from them at your own risk, people. If you do, tape all of your

- I know this is too late but always always use Visa/Mastercard or other

- It works great.
