- The latest sattelite city story. I saw their add and bought a used
- descrambler case for 89.00. Even though the add was running right as i
- was calling, they insisted that it was 109.00. I said that the add was
- on right now, i did not care whether it was THEIR error or not, thats
- what they were advertising. So I get the thing (it works fine), but they
- charged 20.00 for shipping. When i called them about this they said that
- shipping and insurance was EXPENSIVE. Excuse me but B*. Called a friend
- who works in a computer store and does a lot of mail order. Shipping for
- 14 lbs UPS ground from Edison NJ to Chicago is 4.98 + .35 per 100 dollars
- insurance over the first 100 dollars. Looks like 4.98 to me not $20.00.
- And it did not come from sat. city it came from K I Saturn Inc. And the
- only way I knew that was the receit for the credit card. No where on the
- invoice does it say From Whom. I desperately hope that i never have to
- buy anything from these jerks again... AND YOU SHOULD NOT EITHER!!!!!
