Bought a pair of motherboards from an online outfit I found on pricewatch. After a month of no motherboards, no response. Three months later, the charge showed up on my CC. Took me five minutes to find the official complaint from the BBB, and arguing the charge with VISA was no hassle. Provide decent evidence and they reverse the charges without too much effort. Lesson learned, if I haven't heard of them, I don't buy from them. Brian
