PSA: Laikeet.com

[unixronin]

Public service announcement: Don’t order anything from laikeet.com unless you can wait several weeks for it. The registration address for the domain is in Pennsylvania, and they say your battery will ship by USPS, but what they actually mean by “USPS” is Hong Kong Post via the proverbial slow boat from China. Their advice for the resulting two-to-three-week delay? “Wait patiently.”

Don’t shop there. Don’t go there. Pay a dollar or two more and find an honest vendor who’ll get it to you this side of the Second Coming of Nikola Tesla.

Do you use Web of Trust (http://www.mywot.com/)?

ecampus.com is another sucky place. They took the order, announced that they wouldn't charge my card until the order shipped, charged my card, then decided that they didn't have the book in stock, couldn't get it and cancelled the order. Took me longer than reasonable time to get the charge reversed.

If I paid by credit card I'd charge it back the second they posted it.
