- This is interesting. I placed an order with them back in...February? And
- gave them my credit card number. Well, I waited while Supra held back their
- shipping date and all that. A couple weeks after they started shipping, I
- received a Visa statment showing a charge for the modem by BFJ. When I placed
- my order, they assured me that they wouldn't charge until they shipped. So
- I called and complained and demanded that they ship me the very next modem
- that they received. A week later I had my modem.
-
- Did they decide to take everyone else's money and run?
