I requested by e-mail an update of my order; I got a "ticketed" reply confirming some one would contact me. Since I'm quite impatient I called 2CO, waited 30 sec. for some one to answer (that was very quick). The guy wasn't of to much help, even if I explained that I wanted a confirmation from him if they had cancelled all orders, since Medison was basically all bluff, etc. His reply was, our XXX (I missed the name) dept. deals with this company, so they are a real company doing business with 2CO. Inmediately after hangng the phone, I receive this e-mail sent to orders@medisoncelebrity.com, myself and a CC to the sender from 2CO:<BR/>Dear Medison,<BR/><BR/>The following notes have been added to your account.<BR/>Please review this information and take corrective action, if needed by: as soon as possible.<BR/><BR/>Details: Sale Number: 3789XXXXX<BR/>Hello, the customer has contacted 2CO to request detailed shipping information on this parcel.
