yes.... we bought something and found not only did the hoser NOT take pay
pal they wanted excessive shipping...
so not only was it an expensive purchase for something minor it was a pain
in the ass to get a check cut though payables dept.
needles to say that seller has over a period of time deprived himself of
thousands we might have spent....
best way to handle it is just grit your teeth and not buy anything from
them....

This clown wants $9.80 for
shipping AND $2.80 for insurance (REQUIRED no less). Actual postage for
this via USPS bookrate is about 40 cents and insurance is 35 cents! How
do
these clowns expect to stay in business!
