>>Howdy -  It's amazing how a small thing really bugs me.  I ordered a
batch
of film from B and H photo.  10 out of the total of 30 rolls was back
ordered.  They charged my card for the total and not the 20 rolls that were
sent.  I don't think this is right - anyone else on the LUG know the
legalities of charging for back ordered material?


I think that if Back Orders are covered in the fine print, you are stuck. A
decent dealer would gladly refund your money if their wait time is too long
for you. However, this might be addressed as well in the fine print. I find
great deals advertised, but when you order, they do not come right out and
tell you that there will be a delay, so you need to ask them specifically.

I have had some people substitute (or try anyway), one film for another. I
found some Kodachrome at a good price and I ordered it. They send
Fujichrome instead. They told me it was just as good, which is BS. So be
careful ordering these days.
