Nope, as long as the product is shipped within 30 days (that might be 60 days)
of charging the card.  Of course, most business do have the policy of not
charging a card until the order is shipped but let's face it, errors happen.

BTW, I did relay Jeff's complaint on to Jim Allen at Fast Technology who
said he would contact Jeff personally and try to resolve it.
