For those of you waiting on orders, I was getting ready to talk about PayPal protection. Then I remembered that my only direct purchase from HFC has been the recent NPS Q45T. I had to use my CC number, no PayPal option. Received mine a week ago, but if I had not, like @lpretiring suggests, I would be on the phone with my CC company tomorrow, just in case.
Regarding the HFC shutdown news, assuming it’s true and a very credible source has posted it right here on this forum, I only have one word which seems to be cropping up day after day during this Year Of Our Lord 2022.
Sad.
