Yeah they just canceled all my orders with them, and good riddance.
What happened:
Had an order. I get an email from them saying that there was a problem with my card, and if I would kindly cancel my order or use pay pal. The old alarm bell went off. I send an email to them asking what the problem was; what kind of problem? a day or two later I get a response stating my billing address and shipping address don't match. I figure, okay I moved a month or so ago, and I thought I had changed it, but stuff happens right? So I call Visa to see what the problem was.
They confirm that my shipping address was indeed the same as my billing address. I explained what was going on and was told it was impossible for them to know. You see, mail order company is supposed to confirm the info with Visa, before putting the transaction though and according to the records, no such attempt had been made by Hobby Search since the last time I ordered from them.
So how could they know my billing address and my shipping address would or wouldn't match without checking with Visa (as per procedure)? I had gotten an order from them not even a month before using the same card, address and everything....
Something is up over there is all I know. And all I know for certain is that any company that's playing fast and loose with the handling of my credit info isn't getting my business.
Back to good old HLJ for me. Prices might be higher, but not a problem with service in more than 10 years of dealing with them.
