I am a person who doesn't like to be cheated out of his money, and i hope none of you are, but does anyone have a hard time (or not even at all) buying products online?
Even things like Iron Pigs, Armor cast, or Awesome paintjob, and i see pics of people's products they got from there, but i cant buy it, i dont know why....

It all depends on the purchase.

If I am spending a small sum of money, I won't think about it much at all. This doesn't mean you should just buy from any site you find. Using Paypal makes a huge difference, as does buying from sponsored/ reputable online stores.

If you're planning on spending a few thousand dollars on something, then you should really be doing your homework. Most companies will have a long history of feedback to look through, and it is definitely worth it to do so.

Checking return policies is always good as well, and as long as you are saving some money, the worst that can happen is you break even on your purchase.

Offline websites are more reputable.

Thanks Dogma. I now have Sunkist on my keyboard.

Well im talking about like 50=100$ purchases on things like, Iron Pigs, Miniature Mentor, and other websites like those, dont you ever second guess yourselves?

Yes, you check the site out, of course.

I don't give my cc info to a guy running a booth out of his van, for example.

And even if you want to spend big for some sale, you spend a small amount a few times
at first, trying to see if you'll buy from them again.

I did this with eureka minis and even though their webcart seemed messed up, the rep
just set up a paypal order for me and we handled it that way.

I've bought from FRP games many times, and have never had a problem. Maxmini is also good. Other than that, I try to support my FLGS as much as possible.

I just ordered from FRP games, and they sent the order right away... then all of a sudden... USPS fethed everything up.

(EDIT: Until I realized that I was the one to make the mistake, by putting down an old street address, with my current freaking address number... AAARRRGHH!!!)

DAMN. IT. ALL.

My package is now god knows where, and USPS doesn't want to provide me with anything besides a ridiculous automated message that asks for a billion digit shipping number.

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

I buy things from all over the internet. And have twice sent items to the wrong address by accident... though I've never mixed up two addresses before into one amalgamated whole, that is bad luck Wrex!

There are places to be wary of, Paypal is great for those.

Thanks.

I have lived at way too many addresses, I probably didn't think about it, because the first letters were the same. That is one mistake I won't be making again any time soon!
