- Nope, as long as the product is shipped within 30 days (that might be 60 days)
- of charging the card. Of course, most business do have the policy of not
- charging a card until the order is shipped but let's face it, errors happen.
-
- BTW, I did relay Jeff's complaint on to Jim Allen at Fast Technology who
- said he would contact Jeff personally and try to resolve it.
