This is laughable!
What a ;$:@; dealer!
On the same note, I just violated this cardinal rule for the first time ever. Went jewelry shopping for wife while in HI, 20th anniversary. Found the "right" ring. Didn't fit, couldn't be expanded a size due to its design. The jewelry shop is custom making one and we had to pay up front. 12 weeks out. If that effing thing does not show up in the mail per contract, cheapest option is to fly back there and burn the place down! Haha
Still nervous about this and it's the wife's fault if we get screwed!
