Update, Newegg.com may not be around much longer. They can't seem to submit a
proper order to VISA, and the charge is in VISA reject hell. Two things I
can detect that are wrong, their servers clocks are running anyplace from 3
minutes to 15 minutes in the future, and according to the reject messages
they are sending me, the expiration date is -12/10, or -12/2010 depending on
which reject message I look at, its not consistent.
And of course its "not their problem, there's something wrong with the data I
gave them". That expire date is derived from a pair of multi-selectors and
its not possible to type it in directly, so there is no way in hell I could
have typed that minus sign in front of the month.
As to the card numbers, they have all been verified, and there's enough in the
account to write a check for a very good used car.
Based on this, I would be cautious as to what I bought from them, they may not
be around to honor any warranty problems you might have. Such fubars tend to
pi$$ off the customer and dry up your business & make you go away.
