[QUOTE="dugby, post: 1724957, member: 7393"] Perhaps the best thing you will get out of all of this is a little more skepticism about what people promise. Don't be surprised when people selling things overstate their position. Take all the promises you hear and add the words "Generally" or "Mostly" when you hear "In Stock" or ships next day. Buds' and every other business is going to "Talk up" their good side and their good expereinces. You aren't going to hear them tell you about their worst. Businesses are all over the map on their honesty threshholds. Some businesses will not promise anything unless they absolutely "Can" deliver their promise. They will make good in a big way if they miss their promise in the least. Other businesses operate off of more of a promise to get you in the door and so what if they fail some percentage of the time. When your buying something and they promise this or that ask them what they will do if this or that does not happen. Their answers to those questions will give you some insight into how much they care about their promise and how likely you are to get what they are promising. [/QUOTE]
