And then there are online companies like Americanspice.com that are more than
happy to take your order, take your money and never fill the order. I placed
an order with them in April 2005, at a time when they were shipping
internationally. I've sent I don't know how many emails to them and have never
been answered. I would call them, but their toll free number can't be called
from Greece and I'm damned if I'm going to spend any more on them with an
international call. They can keep my $45.14, but I'm more than happy to bad
mouth the site every chance I get.
