I did however, want to ensure that I received the product so I called the storefront location and talked to a clerk and gave them the Order Receipt number, explained my reluctance to provide my credit card info over the Internet and provided the information by phone.
Wouldn't using a secure server with your credit card be more secure than calling the card number in by phone and having a clerk write the number down?
I don't ever let somebody write my cc number down. Who knows where it goes from there?
There are no totally secure methods of using a cc. Some have much better odds against fraud than others.
I mail order regularly and have had no problems. Many on all lists have their favorite e tailers. Just about all are good. You seem to have found the one that has problems.

According to a recent report I read on CC security, a secure website is actually the most secure way of transmitting CC information. The very least secure was by phone.
