  I have heard of the EXACT same problems from CDW.  My friend ordered
  and returned a tape drive to them, and found out he could only
  receive STORE CREDIT and not a refund.  He was thinking of
  purchasing a SVGA monitor anyway, so he applied his credit + $150,
  and ordered a Panasonic Panasync. This was over a MONTH ago, and he
  has also consistantly been given the "any-day-now" , or "gaureentee
  it'l be here Xday" line... He also has complained about rude/inept
  salespeople......... Ill never order from them.
