So if I send Bitcoins to an address, what is to stop that company from keeping their product? Is the only trust held with the company?

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Isn't it the same when using credit cards?

Arrange with the dealer to use an escrow or don't buy.
