I just bought some pipes from art-pipes.com. I was looking around these forums before the purchase and I saw good reviews for the site, most got their pipes quickly, and they came with lots of free pipes too. It's been two weeks since I ordered and I haven't seen anything, so I checked back here to see more reviews. Turns out (most?) everyone who had positive feedback for art-pipes had ordered with COD and I ordered with a check. One guy said that his friend lost money at that site and it was a scam.
So as you can see i'm getting a little uneasy about this. It's pretty expesive to cancel a check ( it still hasn't been cashed) but i'm starting to think that maybe i should. Has anyone ordered from art-pipes who didn't use COD? anyone had anyproblems with your COD purchase? how long ago was it?

p.s. I did do a search but it didn't really help answer many questions, and just left me more confused about the situation.
