Recently, I placed an order for a fibre-glass guitar case from http://www.guitaraffecs.com/ , after reading about this site from a CG forum.
Since then, it has been about 2 weeks and absolutely no news from the US-based company. Despite repeated emails sent to their dedicated email addresses, there's been no reply whatsoever.
The problem is - I have paid for the case with my credit card (online purchase). And it is beginning to look as if the website is either:
1) an old site, which is no longer used (in which case, nothing should be charged to my credit card)
or
2) Guitaraffecs.com is simply a scam - which seems strange to me, because if you're going to run an online scam, why bother to set up a guitar site? I mean, how much "business" do you hope to get, as compared to running a similiar website for say.. electronics (I have already come across several of those) or some fake branded goods?
Anyway, there's nothing to be done except to wait. Till either I actually do receive the guitar case shipped to me home, or I check the monthly credit card bill to confirm the "scam".

I have since confirmed that Guitaraffecs is NOT a scam (and yes! that means my guitar case is on its way to Singapore!)
Funnily, the guys at Guitaraffecs assumed I was a scammer (!?!) simply because they traced the order to Asia. Apparently, they've been receiving lots of spam/scams from this part of the world. haha!
