[pct-l] try before buy - UL backpacks

[Bob Bankhead]

I see your point, but his question was "Does anybody know a vendor that would do a try before buy? Would happily lay out a credit card number they can charge me if it doesn't get returned in 2 weeks."

No vendor I know of will hold off charging his carge for merchandise they shipped. Perhaps that's what I should have said.

  This doesn't sound right to me.  Credit card companies generally  
  forbid merchants from charging a card before an item is shipped.  I  
  just googled for one of those agreements and found this, for example:
