So I have a funny little story about ordering some coffee.
A few weeks back Lotto pointed me to a store called Storyville. They were going to donate a 1.00 a "bag" sold to a good charity for each "bag" sold in May. Up to 1 million dollars.
I took a peak around the website, and ended up trying to order 2 "bags". Their website is a travesty in design and flow. I'm guessing because it's totally done in flash. Anytime you want to hit the browsers back button to go back a page, it sends you all the way back to the original home page, and you have to start your flashing journey over again.
Back to the ordering. I submitted my order, and about 3 hours later the order screen came back, and said it was ordered. This was May 7th. I had forgotten about it until going over my banking statement on June 2nd, and I saw the charge from them, but I had no coffee to consume.
I called them up yesterday June the 8th, and they started checking into what happened. They discovered that yes, they got the money, but no they did not get an address, email or any other type of information about where the coffee should be shipped.
They apologized and offered to either ship the coffee or refund the charges. I of course chose "ship it".
Now I have "bag" above, because they really don't openly tell you how much coffee you are getting for the money. As it turns out, they don't sell pounds of coffee, they sell 12 ounce "bags".
Lotto mentioned that Eric has had their coffee, so I'm hoping he can pipe up with information about the quality and taste etc.
