I would like to add that I still have my equipment
after having cashed the check. You must be careful.
Don't be fooled when they say that they want to keep
the item. I had to fight for two months, and finally
FedEx sent me the money.  The only thing I have
noticed is the continous amazing change of their
policy to sidetrack me. Got the idea? The shipping
company, although it provides a service, doesn't own
the item. Be careful, and expect to be treated badly
at the beginning.

Again, good luck.
