$500 is a moderately-sized order for a public customer, but in the grand scheme of things it's a few drops in the bucket. If this is what I have to deal with for $500, I say keep it! Or shop somewhere else!
In reality with inflation and devaluation of the dollar five hundred bucks doesn't buy much these days.
I do the best I can - End of story.

$500 is a chump change order.
That makes any order of mine crumbs.
BTW I agree with all statements made in this thread.
$$ devalued
CC fraud is a big problem.
the service sucks
Forum threads are a tacky way to deal with CS issues.
Chris has been dropping the ball, as per his own statement.
Definitely not post of the month material.
You know John, I'm curious:
Have you actually ordered from Chris? Per your post in his sales thread apparently not. So, then who are you to say whether his service sucks or not?
As to whether he's been dropping the ball or not, 1 complaint from an unhappy customer does not negate all the praise he's received and all of his satisfied customers.
This is the second time in just a couple of weeks when you've jumped on the bandwagon to bash sombody where you had no bone to pick in the fight.
And Chris, I knew without a doubt that the statement you made about the $500 purchase was going to come back to bite you in the ass.
In this economy, $500 may seem like a few drops in the bucket to you, but to many people on the forum it may represent a week or more of hard work.
I've told you this before and I'll say it again: "You can't let one persons bad experience undo all the good experiences so many others have had with you", and you can't take it to personally. Just look up 1 post! While I was typing this reply, Androaura posted to praise you!
Nobody likes to have bad experiences with those that they buy from, but, a bad experience is either the opportunity for a seller to make things right and shine, or to blow it off, justify why they were right and the buyer was wrong, and be resented forever for it.
As for Mark's posts, I'll credit him in that in his first few posts it looked like he was trying to understand and rectify the issue, but then his posts went from wanting to fix it to being intent on bashing you and causing harm. And believe me, we noticed!
