I used to almost always feel like getting into a fist fight when buying a new car. My last few cars have been entirely different though. Just last month, I walked into the same dealer where I bought my Honda Odyssey, test drove a 2007 Hyundai Sonata and liked it well enough. I told him that I wanted to drive out in an hour with the car and trading in my POS Jetta. I'll be darned if I didn't drive home in about 1:15 hours in my new car! I don't know if it's my take-it or leave-it attitude or what, but the last few deals have always gone the way I wanted them to go. Ugh.

I'll admit to being entertained, but I'm not sure really what's going to come of them, or how they'll change anything as far as distribution goes. Still, good to see Nathan Fillion in "action" again... I watched these, at your suggestion, catching the final Act, mere hours before the free-view cut off.

Seems you had a great time but where are the photos of Mom and Dadwonder? I am sure they had a great time too. I would love to see pictures of them also. Anyway, welcome back and I'll see you soon. Love, Uncle Kelvyn David,

I needed them to get a a project grant for my nonprofit done timely. At first I had a similar experience --the main items from each product were missing and one key item set was not shipped at all--even through the full amount for all the items I ordered was billed to my credit card the day I ordered it all. After repeated calls and emails I was told there was no problem--everything was on its way. By fall I was told I would be sent the one missing item set was on backorder and would be there in X weeks over and over--it all that time that supposidly OUT OF STOCK ITEM was still up on the web for ordering. When the final items arrived 6 months later--after my deadline was past--all the boxes were crushed in and packed very poorly and two of the bulbs did not work and two were missing. I still could not do the project--even late. Now a year later I finally got a response to send me the four light bulbs to fit the lighting units--all described by phone and email accurately and in detail over and over again the last year--this week they sent me two of the wrong bulb type along with two huge lighting heads I did not need/order/request. Then, when I emailed them details of the error, they had the nerve to call me and tell me it was my error. I pointed to their email stating that they were going to send me the four bulbs in needed. I have once again requested they send me the two bulbs and arrange for pick up for the lighting heads and they have cut off communications once again. As I look across the web I see more and more of these stories about backdropsource.com. Obviously, I would warn buyers to be sure to avoid purchasing anything from this company whether they eventually correct my order or not--it is a very frustrating full time job to deal with them at all. Their business practices combine the worst of fraud and incompetence. I made the mistake of ordering a full photo studio from backdropsource.com last summer.
