A Nightmare Come True

[S.P.Q.R.]

Recently I purchased a decently sized order off EDIT for about $250 (went half 'n half with a friend). I concealed the money and took all neccessary precautions when mailing it. But 3 months have passed by since then and i've sent them numerous emails with only 1 reply. "We have not recieved payment for this order."

This is horrible! All that money just... lost. Oh well, you lose some and win some, eh? Figure there's not much more I can do besides sit back and smoke a bowl :stoned:

Lesson Learned: Be extreamly cautious when buying shit online

You mailed them the money? Umm...lol...ok...

You really sent $250 in the mail?

Hmmm..

What is EDIT? If it was MOM, you should have known better. And regardless, you should have known not to send cash.

[mirvana]

did you send cash?

[slipknotpsycho]

no it doesn't count as mom, deja it's a very reputable site...

you made the mistake of sending money in the mail... personally, if you can't buy get a credit card to order it, don't do it.. cuz there's like a 50% chance it'll ever see it's intended destination... too many hands it crosses, alot of very greedy hands that just happen to figure out there's money inside... poof, there it goes.... where what goes? as far as anyone but you is concerned, you never sent any money...

got an ACE cash express near you? a reloadable credit card is 10 bucks, plus 3 dollars everytime you load it up with how ever much money you put on it, don't gotta be 18 either... doesn't effect your credit... cuz it's all prepaid... wanna put 100 bucks on it? 3 dollar fee, wanna put over 1,000? 3 dollar fee.... some transactions cost a dollar to use it.... but it beats the living hell out of being screwed over by a real credit card...

btw the one we hvae is a visa... so anywhere that accepts visa (basicly everywhere) accepts it....

you can relate you experience but I had to nuke the link...

I have no clue about them but Slip is right U have Charge back protection with a card... places are less apt to screw you with a card cause enough complaints and they would no longer be able to process CCards...

I know it was a dumb move to send cash, and it's my fault for doing it which is why i'm not too bumbed out (plus only about $80 was mine). But I think i'll do what you guys are saying and get a visa. Thanks

normal ace? you mean ace hardware?

you can get these cards at pretty much all those check cashing stores... every town has atleast one....

[Skwirl07]

That Visa debit card or whatever with free checking sounds nice especially when I go off to college this fall. Under 18, okay?

[halfassedjediknight]

if its not on my visa, its a money order.

i learned that lesson in high school when i would order off of punk rock webstores.
