Not necessarily! 

Many companies will gladly send an item or items COD, C-E-R-T-F-I-E-D. What
does this mean? Well, you could pay $X for your stuff, open it up, and find
that the unscrupulous merchant has shipped you something else "in error".

You have now paid CASH to UPS for the item and must now go through them AND
the vendor to try to get your money back.

If you are not sure of the vendor or if they are selling something at a price 
that is too good to be true, DON'T BUY! If however, you feel somewhat 
comfortable with a firm after talking to their customer relations department,
but still feel hesitant, THEN USE YOUR MC or VISA!

You have 120 days to contest your purchases with the bank that issues your 
card. A simple letter, detailing your problems and your request, is all that
it takes to get their account debited and yours credited. THE BANK AND THE
VENDOR HAVE NO CHOICE IN THIS MATTER! It is in the by-laws of the agreements
the vendor has signed with their bank.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
