If you order from www.onsale.com, good luck getting your order.  I
have had
problems getting my merchandise.

If you order from www.onsale.com, good luck getting your order.  I
have had
problems getting my merchandise.

They charged me $17.90 to ship to 2 keyboards.  A lot of money.  After
3
weeks, one keyboard arrived with a bill for two.  I never recieved the
second keyboard. 
After calling them, at my expense since they do not have an 800 number
and
they do not accept collect calls, they gave me 2 shipping numbers
since
they claimed to have sent them separately.  I contacted the shipping
company and they said the two numbers are invalid.  I sent email to
their
customer support and they said:  "if you have not received the 2nd
unit we
will trace and reship, there
are NO REFUNDS."

Who knows, maybe I'll get it, but its several weeks and for the price
I
paid for shipping, I should have received it within a few days.
