When I bought a grill from Arizona (I'm in Ct.) I paid with postal money
order that requires a receipt when delivered. I'm told that if I didn't get my
grill I could stick the US Postal service on them. Fortunately I didn't have to
test this out.
I've had good luck with transactions on the web, with only a couple late
payers-the check is in the mail-not. These people were listers.
