If you don't get the cover, refuse payment - do a stop check or call your credit card company. There's no reason to pay for something you never received!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-89895307022080970932008-11-27T04:26:00.000-08:002008-11-27T04:26:00.000-08:00Jennifer: Oh, okay.

(I guess they build it into their standard S&H cost, huh?)<BR/><BR/>debtfree2009: I purchased something off eBay EONS ago and I think I asked for tracking then too! <BR/><BR/>SharonRose: Yep. A $6.99 vinyl cover wasn't worth it. But probably the checks themselves are. <BR/><BR/>Miss M: Hurray for lazy shopping in undies! I don't know why, but I want to look, touch and feel stuff I buy. Except I'm considering buy my friend <A HREF="http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/plush/8148/" REL="nofollow">this</A> online for Christmas. (Oh Dang! It's out of stock!)<BR/><BR/>Alice: I'll check those site out! Thanks for the tips.<BR/><BR/>Saver Queen and MMK: The seller's ETA was 11/26 and the day came and went without the cover. When I complained by email, they told me to write after that day went w/out delivery. I'll follow up with them this weekend. :-DShtinkykathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13463418160441246011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-69103950462441509522008-11-26T20:50:00.000-08:002008-11-26T20:50:00.000-08:00Not sure how long ago you got the checks, but the ...Not sure how long ago you got the checks, but the cover may still come...I'm thinking that maybe the checkbooks came from a printer and the cover might be on its way from elsewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-65957421855045223282008-11-26T19:16:00.000-08:002008-11-26T19:16:00.000-08:00I probably wouldn't have bothered for something so...I probably wouldn't have bothered for something so cheap, either.

Yay for any shopping you can do in your undies. I'm sorry your check cover didn't get delivered, I don't think it's related to using untracked shipping. Unless it's last minute I always use the cheapest shipping option, I can't recall ever not getting something I ordered. If it happened, I would expect the company to send me a new item as a matter of good customer service. <BR/><BR/>It's funny cause I'm old fashioned about a lot of things, all the social networking sites and text-speak are completely foreign to me. I never have the latest gadgets or electronics. But, I fully embraced online shopping years ago. I stick with better known retailers and I've always been happy.Miss Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926161058644761041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-81190307290305041572008-11-26T08:56:00.000-08:002008-11-26T08:56:00.000-08:00Hi there-I always have a tracking service for expe...Hi there-I always have a tracking service for expensive items, but cheaper items I may not be so fussy over.Sharon Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792904322725966887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-62456462024549604512008-11-26T08:17:00.000-08:002008-11-26T08:17:00.000-08:00When I order something online like Jennifer said a...When I order something online like Jennifer said a tracking is provided.

In that same situation, I probably wouldn't have opted to pay extra for tracking either though. It would have to be a pretty significant purchase for me to justify the extra charge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
