PSA

Just a little public service announcement for the many young families out there.
Please be sure that if you order anything online, say from an online company that sells strollers, that the company is reputable and has a good rating from their local BBB.
You can go to http://www.bbb.org and enter the zip code of the store (like 33316, for example). When that routes you to the local BBB, you can type in the company name to see what their rating is.
In all the years I've been purchasing online, I've never had any problems. I have since learned that some companies will actually take your money and not send you what you purchased! This blows me away. Especially for companies that gear themselves towards young families. I now see that the particular company I am dealing with has an "F" rating from the BBB for similar problems. I wish I would have researched that before.
So, good friends, if you need baby items do a little research and save yourselves some headaches.
(BTW-I could not buy this particular stroller locally. We have no retailers for them here.)
