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. Daniel Gray C.G.A. Computer, Inc.

I'm not in Dallas so I can't verify it in this case, but I stay the heck away from any operation which uses a "Suite" number in their mailing address. That is usually not a suite number, but rather a box number at one of those "rent-a-mailbox" operations. The mail order operator can then disappear without a trace *very* easily. -- Doug Pardee -- CalComp -- {calcom1,savax,seismo,decvax,ihnp4}!terak!doug

Then you may have difficulty ordering, for example, draft ANSI standards. Yes, the address for CBEMA (which handles such things for ANSI) contains a suite number!
