I knew this was going to start.

Here's the scoop on New Wave, from personal experience and other
non-hysterical testimonials:

New Wave DOES goof from time to time.
They are hard to contact in the event of a mistake.
Their record tends to be very good on common/plentiful items, and a
little
more scratchy on rare/fringe stuff.
Some of the mistakes are user initiated (hitting buttons twice, etc.)

That said, I personally have never had a problem with them in over a
half
dozen orders. However, I tend to order mainstream items and never have
large, complex orders that might involve a lot of backorders.
