MinerSource did me wrong. This is completely scammy of them.
TLDR: Request cancel, cancel confirmed, offered store credit, told i cant use store credit, told i have to wait longer for refund, inquire about refund status,
no longer can receive refund, item shipped against my wishes.
* July 2nd, I send a cancellation request to support.
* July 3rd, I receive confirmation of my cancellation from Dan Murtha and inquiring if I would accept
store credit.
* July 3rd, I inquire about some items that I could purchase using the store credit.
* July 7th, I receive the following from Dan Murtha:
I apologize we did not get to your refund before Black Arrow began shipments.
Now that black arrow has commenced shipping and our first bulk shipment is on its way,
we will not be offering any more refunds or store credit until shipment of all outstanding
orders is completed, if there is any continuation in delays or defects with the products we
will continue doing refunds in the order requested.
* July 7th, I send the following:
I don't understand, I put in the cancellation request prior to shipment and I have acknowledgement
from you that I have been placed in the cancellation queue.
* July 7th, I receive the following from Thomas Salvatore:
You are still in the queue, we are just informing you of the current status.
* July 7th, I send the following:
Ahh, does that also apply for exchanges?
* July 7th, I receive the following from Thomas Salvatore:
We will no longer be offering exchanges for store credit.
At this point, I am very annoyed but no big deal I can wait until later for refund.
* August 1st, I inquire about the current status of my cancellation
* August 2nd, I receive the follwoing from Thomas Salvatore:

* August 2nd, I reply with:
I dont want the order I was inquiring about my cancellation.
* August 4th, Dan Murtha responds with:

The next day I leave town for work. I came back yesterday and find that my X-1 is scheduled for delivery 8/22. Not sure what to do,
if I refuse it I don't know how I will be able to go after them for my funds since I paid in bitcoin.
Don't worry, the scumbags have refused my refund as well in the exact same fashion and nearly the same time span as you. They like BA, don't give a fuck
