I too bought a hard drive from PC's Limited.  A month after I ordered it,
I had yet to receive my disk drive.  I called them up, and guess what, they
could not find any record of my order (my cancelled chack said otherwise).
After a week or so of talking to them, they called me back to tell me that
they had been unable to ship my drive because they did not have FCC approval.
They said approval was coming 'any day now' so I decided to wait for the
drive.  Lo and behold, a few weeks later the drive came.  I quickly installed
it have have had nary a problem with it since.  


Summary: I don't think they're any worse than the other mail order discounters.
