JEG's BLOWS CHUNKS
Not defending Jegs or Summit, but I well remember the "good" ol days of mail order.
When I was a young'n and first got interested in electronics, you got "some magazine," and coveted the tear-out's for "all" the catalogs..........Heathkit, Lafayette, Burstein and Applebee, Allied Radio, etc
Then you LABOROUSLY filled out the undersized mail order form torn out of the catalog, then you found a day when you could go to the PO and get a money order, ......................mailed it to some far--of eastern address, and WAITED FOR AT LEAST A MONTH
Finally you would get your package, or rather notification of your package, which then meant that you had to juggle
home from school and homework
milking the cows
chopping the firewood
maybe shoveling or plowing snow
with finally making to the post office and back
and which point you would open your package and discover
1..............at least part of it had been back ordered
2..............at least part of it had magically been ignored with no real explanation
or 3.........at least part of the items had been substituted with unrelated goods, again with no explanation.
Call em? Hell no. You weren't gonna spring for a phone call clear back east, and besides, by the time you got home from school, the time difference meant "they" were long gone, practically asleep in bed!!!
