Dave, I think we need more solutions like the base ball bats to deal with these problem people.
All UPS shippers including small me, can re-route a package enroute or have it returned before deliever. There is a charge, but I simply bring up World Ship, the UPS software, select the item and re-route it. I do have to go to the UPS web site which is automatic. Even if on the truck a few blocks from delievery the truck will be notified. One can find within minutes a package has been delievered. They have a pretty good system. I am sure FedEx and some others have the same thing. Not Post Office. You could have put the credit card purchase in dispute and would not have to pay. QVC would have eaten the cost. The credit card company would simply withdraw the money from QVC bank. I like credit cards for they give all some protection, but in the end the seller will suffer if anyone. 73, ron, n9ee/r >From: Dave Gomberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: 2008/06/18 Wed PM 04:09:51 EDT >To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com >Subject: Re: Re: [Repeater-Builder] the scam changes... > >At 04:01 6/18/2008, Ron Wright wrote: >>Credit card companies are a big problem, but with our ecomonic >>system it is almost a requirement one takes them.
