My esteemed listmates,
</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
This is not a library question per se although I use my personal Dell laptop \
daily at the library. </div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
I need a battery replacement.
</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
I visited Amazon for that battery replacement which finds about 5-6 pages of \
results. </div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
I proceeded to check on each battery listing to verify it ships from Amazon \
but when I check on the seller so far (going down the list) hey list only offshore \
manufacturers. </div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Sharing my credit card info with an offshore manufacturer with whom I have no \
experience concerns me. </div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
How have others handled this?
</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
One thought was to buy an Amazon gift card and make the purchase with that.
</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
But, I've been hearing these gift cards are getting targeted and drained by \
miscreants. </div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Also, have you learned a way to filter Amazon results for just American \
manufacturers? </div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Thank you so much.
</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Charles.
