Good point, Cindy. I like to "know" what I am buying... However (before
I get yelled at) I can see that in certain circumstances it might be
convenient. e.g. if somebody is ill at home, can't drive or has no
transport, no time, or whatever, it could be a viable option... It's the
payment method that bothers me the most... Credit card fraud is scary
stuff. Now if they had a C.O.D. option - and I mean a real "cash" option
I might consider it I ordered some cleaning chemicals once - they
said they would deliver... when they arrived I offered the person
delivering the goods cash, he looked at me funny and said "I don't have
change. Don't you have a credit card?" See what I mean?
