I finally decided to purchase the 1050 based on many things said here and other reviews elsewhere. I'm sure it's going to be great considering I'm upgrading from a Phillips HTIB fr965 system (my first system) I got on ubid for $68. But, and theres always a but right? I placed my order Dec. 20th and was very happy as I clicked the send button on the order page (happy because I knew I was finally going to recieve a gift for christmas that I wanted)The next day I recieved a email telling me that my CC did not match my shipping address. This is true because I had just moved into my new place just a month before and did not want to change my billing address until the 1st of the year, due to all the checks and charges I had out there for christmas and so. I told them they can just ship the product to the billing address as it is my parents place and I could pick it up there. Happy but not for long. Another email and more confussion. Now my card did'nt match my billing address. This was impossible, I had just places an order with Amozon for a few test discs and a big order for my new AR HC6 speakers. So I decided to call, no answer and it's the weekend so I'd have to wait til Monday. I left a message and first thing Mon. morn I got a call from Scott, very impressed, I did'nt think they were going to call I figured I'd have to call back. Anyways after our talk it seems that everything was fixed and once again I was happy, but the order would not be able to be placed untill the 26th, the shipping department was out until then, oh well no biggie. The 26th, I recieve a call from Mike, says they are still having problems with my CC and billing address, one more time we go through it and wah la, he figures out the problem, typo on their part. Happy days are here again. Just checked the ups tracking # just to see that things are fine, UH OH, street address is right but city and zipcode are wrong! Just got off the phone with UPS, said I would have to wait untill the product reach a point of destination as it is in transit right now and nothing can be done until it comes to rest at the next facility. So it loks as for now that I will be sitting checking my UPS tracking # like it was a stock market ticker and hopfully get this all straightened out. It would be a shame to have someone else recieve my goods, as a outlaw would say "men have been shot for lesser things..." Oh well. I'll report back if any new entanglements expose themselves.
