6 years is a loooooong time, refusal to communicate is a strong sign of bad faith. Payment in full in advance seems a bit much, especially with that four week delay, was that supposed to be transit time? Next time insist on shipment via a carrier who has customer-visible tracking information. Make the last payment to enable the shipment, and if the tracking info isnt forthcoming, talk to the credit card company right away (within a week). Some (not all) credit cards will block future payments to the vendor until the dispute is settled, obviously this works best with larger vendors, and when an international payment is involved things probably get stickier. -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
