"After a week they have not shipped and the Pure Phatt is now is out 
of stock."


>>> You need to call them up. I ordered a Friday, then when I called 
Tuesday the order was still pending due to some adress validation 
crap.... It seems that Emu is very anal about credit card orders and 
it also seems that the website's info about the orders is not always 
accurate. They told me they'd emailed me but I never got no email. 
That day I was supposed to get another email if there was still any 
problems with the order, which never made to my box either. By the 
third day I talked to this nice woman called Maureen? who sorted 
things out and made sure that the order was shipped that same day. 
So, your order could be already on its way or waiting for you to call 
to give the necessary information for them to go ahead with the 
order... I'm glad I finally recieved my roms but am rather annoyed 
that I had to pay for several rather lengthy calls to Cal 'cause I 
couldn't get the 888 number to go through. They called me back in 
several occations, though. I think they ought to find a faster way of 
processing credit cards/orders and give the low level phone 
attendants atleast some minimal info of what is that they are 
selling. Specially since the website doesn't have in many cases 
enough informaition to begin with....

Good luck with that...


BTW, I'll be posting a partial review as soon as I have some more 
time to sit down and get a feel of them.
