47th Street shipped an order 2 months after they agreed to cancel it.  They
also agreed to repay me for my time and expenses to return this unsolicited
merchandise.  Needless to say that after waiting 2 months for "in stock"
items and another 2 months after cancelling, I had made other arrangements.
No ammount of savings is worth dealing with liars and cheats.
