Anyone used Flatground.com?

I am in need of a large amount of flat ground stock, both low carbon and A2. I found an online source

but they only sell via credit card online with no phone numbers. I'm a little nervous doing this, although their prices are very reasonable and they seem to have a good on-hand stock.

My question is: has anyone used this source or does anyone have any info, good or bad. Next question: does anyone else specialize in F.G.S. that might offer good pricing other than having to go thru MSC?

TIA,

John

They look legit to me, though I'd probably write them or use one of the email addresses on their site to find out why they don't list a phone number before placing an order. Likely they are not set up to take phone orders. They do have a FAX #.

Also, I refuse to use credit cards that don't offer free temporary account number services. I use a differnet CC # with a max dollar limit set per # by me for every online purchase I make.

Positive side of using a credit card is that if the product doesn't show up or is inferior (based on whatever warranty they offer), you can refuse the charges and let the card company fight it out for you.

I rarely have to do that (once in 2 years) but the charge was almost $1k and to UPS ... A normally excllent service provider.
