Praise and thanks for electronics vendor eForCity. The 50-ft. HDMI cables I use for my video projector came from Eforcity, through Amazon. They’re rugged, they work perfectly, and they cost a fraction of what a regular retailer would charge.
When Eric started school I ordered a 10-ft. HDMI cable to connect his laptop computer (with Blu-ray) to his LCD TV. Amazon insisted on using a slightly different address than the one the college lists, but the ZIP code was the same, so I went with it. Two weeks after Eforcity sent the cable it still hadn’t arrived. I don’t know if the Post Office decided it didn’t like seeing the section of the town listed, rather than the town itself, or if the package was stolen from the college’s mail room. Either scenario is possible.
Through Amazon, I wrote to Eforcity to say the cable was lost in shipment, but I said for the small amount of money involved, $3.56 total, I wasn’t going to worry about it. I was about to order another cable when I received e-mail from Eforcity, offering to ship another cable. I said thank you, and requested that the cable be sent home, instead of to school. The cable was sent Tuesday and arrived today. Thank you, eForCity!
