Never had a problem

I do the same thing as you. But it's worth noting that you don't know that you've never had a problem, since nobody can contact you about one.

I've only had problems that I know of three times. Once when a purchase from Ohio got mangled in shipping and returned to the company. It tried to contact me to let me know there was a delay, and when it couldn't get in touch with me, it put the order on hold. I found out about it when I called a couple of weeks later to ask what happened to my order.

Once when something I ordered from overseas had trouble getting through customs. Again, I had to call to find out what happened.

And once when I made a hotel reservation in Los Angeles. The hotel called to let me know that the upgrade I requested was available, and when it couldn't get me by phone it believed the transaction to be fraudulent and cancelled my reservation.
