Why don't you just call if you don't feel confortable using email?

He can just as easily write what you tell him on the phone down, and distribute it.

Make sure he is a reputable man with a good business. You can do this with the BBB in your area.

i know that it is a legit company, hundereds of people on this forum have used budget, but is it safe through e-mail? they are closed now so i cant order over phone, is it ok to do this through e-mail or should i just wait until tomorrow and do it over phone. i dont mind using e-mail but have others done it this way?

sounds really shady, you should never send your credit card information through E-mail. And make sure on online retailers web adresses there is a "S" behind the "http".

Just wait and talk to them tomorrow. That way you will sleep better.

if it's httpS it's secure, but that doesn't mean it's legit (although it usually is). Also you can look for a little lock in the bottom of the browser window.

NEVER NEVER NEVER send stuff like that through email... unless it's to me and then include your mother's maiden name.

Call them

Budget had no problems taking my credit card over the phone.

Go to their web site, get their phone # and give them a call.

You will also need to give them a daytime phone# for shipping.
