??? Means I don't know what that item is.
After several days I checked their Web Site to see if I needed to do anything before I received these products. All I found was an E-Mail address where I did send a E-Mail to. The E-Mail was replied to in about four days. The E-Mail said that I have contacted the wrong department.
After 4 days I called and ask about several of the products. Their response was I would receive an E-Mail with the information I needed.
After several days of not receiving an E-Mail I called back & said I would like to return the products & for them to return my money back to A-1 Leasing so that my leasing contract would have been repaid and closed.
They replied to me that I signed a non-cancelable contract and that they have not received any money and could not reimburse me the $3596.76 dollars.
A-1 Leasing has recently sent me the following E-Mail:
Dear Michael:

I called A1-Leasing to find out their address. They told me to send it to the above address, they also told me that I would responsible for paying out the lease.
