   I suspect shopping.com is closing up shop. Cannot get through by phone,
e-mail, no indication of any activity, no reports of anybody receiving any
shipments since Nov. 1.

  I don't want to hassle with having a new credit card reissued just to avoid
a charge for undelivered goods, but you know what can happen in these
situations:  a dying company takes in a bunch of cash before it expires, in a
last ditch effort to save the company. That's may be why they offered
everyone the $10.00 gift certificate ---- buy now and wait for the $10
credit(paid if the company survived.)  BTW, the gift certificate left out
this important fact - the $10 gift certificate would be a credit to follow
after you were charged the full price of your order.
