To me it seems like a fair course of events (between the credit card and
myself that is). One day they exchanged currency a for currency b. The next
day they converted currency b back into currency a. It would have been
better for me if the order was just cancelled by the Entertainer but instead
my order was processed, completing the exchange (which to me means to me I
should be getting the sets but that is another thread :-) ) and then the
charge was refunded at a later date.

It is possible the credit card company would eat the cost, but I doubt it. I
will give them a call and see what happens.

I ordered several Shuttles but then cancelled my order after the price
correction.

I looked at my credit card statement yesterday and I noticed my credit • (in
USD) was not the same as the original charge (in USD) by the Entertainer.
Upon further inspection, the credited amount was the same as what the
Entertainer charged it was the exchange rate that fluctuated enough that
made a noticeable difference.

Knowing this might save a few of you unnecessary phone calls.

Did you get this resolved? Just curious. It seems like the credit card
company should be willing to resolve this.
