Anyone ever dealt with a C.O.D.?

A couple of questions. Have you inspected the merchandise? I would assume you have seen pics? Sounds like you may be leary of something. It looks like your in Wisconsin. Where is the merchandise located or coming from? If it's in my area i'd be glad to inspect it for ya, pay for it with your money and send it to ya. I'm sure there are others here that would do the same. Worth a try.
