<BODY>Gee Whiz, J.R., you got a burr under your saddle? I mean, your underwear seems all wadded up or something.

YOU made a mistake; and, somebody else is<BR>> responsible? Please. Most supply houses work this way. The stock number<BR>> is more specific than the description.

I have been their customer for many years and<BR>> have nearly always been very pleased with their<BR>> products and service.<BR>><BR>> Recently I have enjoyed the convenience of ordering<BR>> from their web page. They have a place for the stock<BR>> number and a place for a description of the item. I<BR>> assumed that they would check to make sure the two<BR>> match, but I just found out that the "description"<BR>> column on the order form has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do<BR>> with the order processing.<BR>><BR>> What happened was that I accidentally put in the wrong<BR>> stock number on two items, even though the<BR>> "description" column stated exactly what I wanted.<BR>><BR>> Schaff would not accept ANY RESPONSIBILITY for not<BR>> checking the number against the description, and hence<BR>> will not pay for the return of the items. Fortunately<BR>> for me they are not expensive items.<BR>><BR>> So, please, before you send in an order on their web<BR>> page, be SURE to double check the stock number,<BR>> because the description is completely ignored!<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> Wallace T.
