"I ran across this merchant courtesy of Google while searching for "Spot" brand rope toys for my weinerdogs. I'd never heard of them. The site is festooned with all the usual "BBB" and "UPS" kinds of logos. I'm always suspicious of overdoing that kind of thing, but went ahead anyway since they had what I was looking for. My local dog supply emporium used to have these ropes for around $9-$10 each. Here, they were $3-$4. That's a pretty good deal, and if the worst happened, I could always address it via the credit card company.

Fortunately, that wasn't necessary. They turned out to be legitimate. The online ordering worked out fine, the order was shipped (apparently drop-shipped from a separate fulfillment company) in under a day, arrived at my door two days after ordering and about two hours before their email telling me that it had shipped. The products were exactly what I expected and still in the original manufacturer packaging. The order was packed well.

Overall, a very satisfactory transaction that saved me a whole lot of money. The wienerdogs are even happier since their old ropes were little more than knotted strings and now they have the chance to destroy some new ones."
