As for my recent experience when mail ordering a modem from a dealer -- PC Network ( Personal Computer Network ), I think I should not trust this kind of mail order any more, at least to this one. I think their extraordinary inefficiency should be known by everyone who used to mail ordered some computer equipments. I ordered a modem from them on August 20, while received it on September 25. In addition, I had made 5 phone calls and written 3 letters to them to check how they processed my order. As a final conclusion, I got my modem, but I have to pay another two bills for unknown reasons !! ( They mailed me via COD, and I don't like to miss my modem again . ) One more word. They did, however, cash my money order on August 23, while they claimed they had never received it. Can anyone explain this? I think that looks like something cheating to the consumers. As a new comer from other country just entering the states, I don't even know to whom should I make a complain. I had talked this with some friends of mine. Some of them who had dealed with this store also commented they as not reliable. That's why I post this news. I think all this kind of bad services should be broadcasted to prevent others from being fooling.
