[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 679373, member: 13556"] Years ago, before the end of the Dawn of the Digital Age, I ordered a few filters from Abe's. I called them and placed the order over the phone, since I wanted to ensure that they had it all in stock since I needed them immediately. (Back then, my only other option was by mail.) They told me that they would ship it all out that day and that I should have it within three days, which met my time requirements. Well, as you guessed it, the filters didn't arrive and I had to leave on my trip without them, totally altering what I was able to do photographically on the trip. In the end, I got back home after about two weeks on the road and the order still had not arrived. So I called them, to ask what had happened, and they said that their sales agent was wrong and they didn't have the items in stock and they had to be special ordered. I inquired as to whether the items were shipped yet and was told that they went out "already", or to that tune. Well, the fact of the matter is that the items had not shipped yet, but were shipped a few days later according to the shipping box. Of course, they were not returnable at all since they were special order. And that, folks, was the last and only time I've ever given Abe's any business. Screw me once, shame on you; twice, shame on me! WM [/QUOTE]
