Yes.  If you contact your credit card company immediately (and in writing)
they will usually go to the wall with you.

I had a problem with an outfit called "Main Street Computer."  I ordered
a (then) top of the line Panasonic KXP-1624 printer.  It never arrived
and they had billed the credit card company;  They were in New Hampshire
and I am in New Jersey ( a tad more than fifty miles I'd say).

I contacted Main Street and was given nothing but BS.  I then contacted
VISA.  On the second bill from VISA was a credit for the printer and
 accumulated interest.

I then bought it from Computability.  NO PROBLEMS.  Happy ever since.
