<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 2605533, member: 39084&quot;]The only thing I will point out about this phrase is that &quot;promptly&quot; is not meaningful as used in this sentence, since it isn&#039;t quantified at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Legally, a merchant who is paid via credit card CANNOT charge the purchaser&#039;s card until the item is physically shipped (unless other arrangements, such as a down payment, etc., have been made).&nbsp; This is violated all the time, but it&#039;s still illegal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, if I purchase an item that is listed as being in a dealer&#039;s inventory, my definition of &quot;prompt&quot; is that the item is shipped within 1 - 2 days of when my check is cashed or my credit card is charged.&nbsp; The delivery time of course will vary based on many factors, but unless the dealer is prepared to ship my item within 1 - 2 days of my funds clearing, I think it&#039;s unethical to take my money for that item.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
