Even more astounding, however, is the fact that they TRUST their customers to pay for a product after already taking possession of the product.

I ordered two red bud trees over the phone for my cousin and was ready to give the owner my VISA number. She said they didn't take credit cards and to just send her the money when, "I Got Round To It."<br />Now, an important questions: "When will you go looking for the little French Maid Outfit" to match you feather duster.~sWaMpY~http://anecdotes.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29569768.post-7573358844295074702011-03-26T05:25:05.943-07:002011-03-26T05:25:05.943-07:00So what are you going to call your blog now??????So what are you going to call your blog now??????Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835936655590583808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29569768.post-9652003782029148202011-03-25T21:51:47.241-07:002011-03-25T21:51:47.241-07:00You the dusty one has a feather duster and an ostr...You the dusty one has a feather duster and an ostrich one at that..let see a photo:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29569768.post-46050519908942365182011-03-25T20:37:07.247-07:002011-03-25T20:37:07.247-07:00Of course you went back and paid.
