My Experience:
On January 26, 2004 I placed an order for a Playstation 2 Medal of Honor game. It was listed at a good price and no shipping charges made the deal even sweeter. I don’t know if they always have free shipping, but as of today’s date “Free Shipping on any U.S. order” is listed at the site. They had the game new for $19.99 and used for $17.99. Aaron was spending some of his Christmas money and he decided for only $2 difference that he would rather have the new game. I think he made a good decision.
The site was very easy to order through. I had no problems finding the game and placing the order. You just add the item to your shipping card and proceed to checkout. I also liked that we did not have to pay sales tax.
I placed the order using my Visa card. Within minutes I received an email confirmation stating the item I ordered, price and order number. The email confirmation said that I could track the status of the shipment at their site. At the site it does tell me the day that the order was shipped, but in the area for the tracking number it says N/A.
I was not sent an email when the order was shipped. They shipped out the game the next day after we placed the order, which was January 27, 2004. Aaron watched the mail everyday. It was shipped First Class Mail with the USPS. The package arrived on January 31, 2004. It was packed in a bubble mailer envelope and was in perfect condition.
I would not hesitate to order from this company again.
