Like some of you, amp3 asked me to prove that the credit card was mine. I did a Print Screen of my credit card account online and e-mailed them the picture. I called them 2 hours after I did that, and they processed it. It did make me feel safe, for sure.
In terms of how my order went....They were ordered on 12/31/08. I received the "picking" e-mail on 01/06/08. They left amp3 on 01/08/09 and came to me in the Pittsburgh, PA area on 01/20/09.
So from the time I ordered to the time I received them, it was 3 long, treacherous, depressing, agonizing, pain-filled weeks of torture. Okay, it wasn't that bad, but I was anxious to receive them (as hinted by me making a thread about it. see: this thread)
