[net.micro] General tips for mail order

Always use VISA or COD when mail ordering
from ANY mail order house. Also, after mail ordering from very
many companies, I have found that the whole key is, usually, do
they have the product in stock. If they do, they will send it
very promptly, they want your money. If they don't, they will
usually tell you they do, and then when you don't get your
product and start calling them back, they will start giving you
a song and dance routine. In cases like this, the earlier
you cancel the order, the better.
