->Todd, I have never received the CD. We need to discuss a refund!

Write your reply.

assistant: I did mail the CD on 12/15. As noted your MO was delayed as the PO put
the wrong bar code on the envelope. Even though the CD was mailed 2nd
Day Priority I would like to opportunity to see what the PO has to say
about the mail delivery from here to there. I think this is reasonable
as if *I* am the one to refund the MO then *I'm* out the cost.
Please let me know. Thanks.

assistant: My brother sent a M.O. to him for a system.
 They said that the system belonged to 2 people; and,
that the people could not divide the money equitably;
so, they eventually sent the money back to him.
 He was very concerned about this; but, he did get
his money back and bought a system locally.
 I think that they guy said that he's a truck driver;
so, he's "on the road" a lot.
 I hope that this is of some help.
