anyone wanna be my guinea pig.

I will be needing someone to test my amazon order process. they just need a cc
card with a good balance. I need 5 orders placed to make sure all is well then
you can do a refund.
I can give the details of what you need to do (like shipping to oddball
addreses)
first I need to figure out how to log into the staging area.
so it won't cost any money and whoever helps me I will give a nice discount
too if they want a plane.

Well, you're wrong. Steve is as straight as they come, though he does use some
unorthodox methods of paying for his needs. His planes are superb, too.

Easy enough to check. I have Steve's address in my address book. I've done
business with him. I've "known" him on the web for six or seven years in
this NG as well as others.

Steve is trying to check his ordering system as he is changing the web site
advertising and Amazon pass through. This has been posted a few times in
the past month. Regular reader of this NG know about it. Unlike big
retailers like Wal Mart, Steve is a one man shop with few resources to do
his computer programming, web page design. if this was Rockler, or
Woodcraft, id be concerned. In this case, I'd gladly do the favor if Steve
still needs help. IMO, Knight Toolworks has more ethics and honesty than
all the fortune 500 companies combined.

that is because the items are on the test site and not on amazon yet.
seems there are a few bugs though like when I try to do refunds they don't
seem to work. where amazon did them and they worked well somewhat. one fellow
shows one is canceled but not both and I show both.

here is the answer from amazon.

Please note: Amazon maintains a sophisticated fraud detection system. Quite
often, orders are intercepted by the fraud team because there are too many
similarities between the purchaser and the seller. For that reason, it is best
to have someone other than yourself order your products during this phase.

Hi Steve

Hope all is well in your business. One thing to check on; when I
searched for one of the products below, it popped up right away.
Everything looked fine. Then I clicked on the Knight-Tool Works link
under the product name at the top expecting it to take me to a list of
all products you have available on Amazon. Instead, it tells me it
cannot find what I'm looking for, and offers a list of things I might
be interested in instead, such as DC hose clamps, and other
woodworking accessories.

Joe

the order would come of as fraud since the info is the same as my amazon
business account. Plus I only have debit card and it would take a week or more
to get my money back.

Idaho Mike is right, and I along with many other long-time wreckers
share his sentiments.

Steve, is a Yukon address weird enough? Ping me on the back channel,
as Keith says. Note the new email addy.

Please adjust your krillfiles (tmAD) accordingly
