Well, it is now mid-january, the 16th to be precise. The 20 minutes that Ms. Holness promised me she would call me back after have passed, a couple thousand times now. (31 days in december + 10 days past 6th = 41 days * 24 hours = 984 hours * 3 = 2,952 20-minute intervals)
Today I called the number I was given to get ahold of her at. A man answered the phone and told me she "had just left for a meeting". He took a message and promised she would call me back this afternoon. I haven't heard anything yet, and have now spent an additional 3 minutes of international long distance on these people.
I also contacted the US Postal Service, where I obtained the international money order. They provided me with a copy of my cashed money order, which shows that the money order was cashed on October 31st! Being as I sent the money order in mid-october, they certainly didn't waste time cashing it.
I am past the point where I would have filed legal action against these people, if it were an option. Unfortunately, being as they are in a different country, it is pretty well impossible to pursue that. Service this poor is despicable.
