RE: mailorder buying with credit card


What many people don't realize is that LEGALLY you have MANY more
rights when ordering via mail order if the order is paid for with
credit card rather than a check.  If you pay with a check, the
company may even totally ignore you if you have a problem and its
an especially bad company.  With a credit card order, problems 
reported to the company will receive MUCH greater attention with
the increased clout behind VISA, Mastercard, etc. and these in-
creased rights are supported by the law.  Ask any attorney.
