So....crazy story today.....
I have been looking to upgrade my phone for a while. I like the prepaid plans cause they are cheaper. For example....with Virgin Mobile I can get unlimited EVERYTHING for $55 a month.
So...My wife has had boost for a while, and I have had Virgin. Only reason I didn't switch was the cost of the phone.
Step in Cyber Monday. Boost had a sale on the EVO V Design for $187 and I had a coupon for $50 off....so $137...great deal, so I decide to pull the trigger. Boost also has Shrinkage...for every 6 months you pay on time, your bill goes down $5 till your are down to $40 (Android). My wife is at $45 right now.
So I go on their site and order the phone. When I hit Confirm Order, I get an error screen. Go to check my bank account to see if it went through and IT DID....THREE TIMES....with tax, etc...it is holding $145.74 x 3.
I call Boost....they say my card was declined because IP address did not match the area of the cardholder address....but I am like....well you are HOLDING my money. They said automatic reversals go through immediately.
So I call PNC....they say that the reversal will match up with the holds during overnight processing and I will not see that charge tomorrow.
All good.....
So armed with this info....I decide to CALL boost to make sure their are no problems placing the order. Figure I will try one more time since the money will come back tomorrow and I have enough to cover it. SO I place the order....and the chick comes back and says I was declined....I am like WTF! I go to PNC online banking....and sure enough....$145.74 AGAIN!!!! If anyone is doing the math....we are up to almost $600 on hold in my account. Again, call boost, they issue a reversal....PNC says it will clear overnight....so ALL $600 will come back tomorrow.
So....all these ****ing issues...and I just so happen to be holding some cash. SO my wife says....go get a prepaid VISA....if they are not working well with PNC...you can bypass it getting a prepaid VISA and put it in HER name so I have nothing to do with the order.
Mind you...only jumping through hoops to save $120 on the phone which is a CYBER MONDAY deal so has to be done today.
So...I go to Walmart. I get the prepaid card for $160....I come home, we order it online, put it in my WIFES name.....voila....FUKKING ERROR on the website again, and go to the prepaid site...and...guess what? Charge $145.74....
Keeping up with the math?
Boost now has a hold on a total of almost $750 dollars of mine for a $137 ****ing phone.
I started this fiasco at 2:30PM....it became a matter of **** YOU I want my phone. They won this battle.
I give up....short of giving me a free phone for this cluster ****, boost will never get my business. EVER.

I think I shot like 4 coats of black, they 3 coats of clear.
Wet sanded the clear with like 1500 - 2000 paper.
Shot 5 more coats of clear.
Wet sanded with the old 2000 lightly, they hit it with the machine buffer to finish rub it out.
Turned out really nice and three years later still looks good.

OUCH!
I would have stopped after the first mistake, or make that three mistakes.
I've been hearing from various forums lots of complaints about online order problems due to the immense unforeseen traffic on Cyber Monday.
Personally I am not big on online buying .... I like to have a human hand me my product so that if I go home and it doesn't work, I have that human to go back to and CHOKE !!!
Ordering Online = Save A Few Bucks
Choking The Clerk Who Sold You Bad Product = PRICELESS !!!!
I hope they get your mess straightened out fast enough .... I'd be so angry that you would hear me on the phone from your house.
