I hope others have had better service than I.  I called up on 8 August
and placed an order for Chipwits ($29), giving them my Visa number.
The woman I talked to said 7 to 10 days.  I still (29 days later) have not
received it.  I called them once at night and someone took down the
information and said someone would call back the next day.  Perhaps I was
out of the office, but no call.

More aggravating:  though I have not received the product, the charge
has already shown up on my Visa bill!  It seems to me that if they have
the time to bill me, they should have time to send me the product.

If others have had more pleasant experiences, please post them so we know
whether this is typical or not.  I should also say that those I did talk
to on the phone were courteous and friendly.
