[net.micro.pc] Mail order, rip-off, anger ....

[ In my anger, I killed this poor thing. ]

I have been stung! I placed an order with;

	'Lolir Lectronics, Inc'
	13933 N. Central Expressway
	Suite 212
	Dallas, Tx. 75243	(214)234-8032
	
I ordered several products from this company. They had placed a full page 
ad in _The_Computer_Shopper_ July '85 issue. (page 209). I never received
the items that I had ordered. I placed a series of calls to the company and
never received a response or a return call. My VISA Statement now reflects
a billing from this company for $117.45, it was billed on the date of the
order (July 16, 1985). After receiving the statement, I called 'Lolir,' they
don't answer the telephone anymore. I guess that I am out of luck. I have
called VISA, they sent me a form to register a complaint. They said that
they will investigate the claim, and that I most likely will not have to pay
this amount.

I am looking for anyone else that may have had problems with this company.
I intend to pursue this to the end of all legal means. If you or anyone that
you know has had any dealings with this company, please send me the details
of the transaction and its current status. If there is sufficient cause, I
will post the results to the net.

I am really disgusted with companies that treat customers this way. I have
dealt with several other companies that also advertised in the magazine, and
have had good results. I only want to stop those companies that rip-off 
people.

For what it's worth, I ordered some stuff from Lolir Lectronics 2
weeks ago. It arrived in 3 days. I've called them twice - once to
verify some prices and once to order, and they're always at the phone.
If they've gone under then it had to have been within the last two
weeks. By the way, I ordered COD.

Concerning your problem with Lolir, I called them yesterday (9/18/85) at
about 6:30 pm edt asking about the NEC v30 (which they don't have yet).
The woman who answered was very courteous and friendly.  I had not read
your posting at the time so I didn't attempt to get a feel for their
honesty, but they seemed quite on the up and up.
