Just to clarify one point. These merchants ( I'm one of them.) fulfill the order, then when it ships, notifys Amazon who then charges the credit card. The merchant never sees your credit card info. Heck, if the purchase is a gift,some of the time the merchant never sees who actually purchased the item!

Amazon is also pretty tough on the merchant if they don't ship the product in the time they state. They bug the heck out them.

I keep telling them it's Christmas and too busy but they don't understand.
