I'd be happy to respond off-list if you send along an email. I just don't want to get another "opinion" thread going...

It's all about what you can sneak by somebody. Restoration parts companies feel competition "forces" them to do it. They advertise bargain basement prices and make up profit margin on S&H. We bought a computer from Gateway a few weeks ago. They sent the wrong one and are forcing us to pay shipping to send it back. That's $150 round trip to get rid of their mistake. They can get away with it because they've already charged your credit card and they know the card companies will not back you up - they do too much business with them to risk it. That's what my partner calls "the gen-x ethic". It's all about what you can get away with. When I asked Gateway why they don't disclose this shipping thing they said "because we don't have to". Now that's bold, people. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 8:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-List] Why OPG Sucks Ok, I need to vent here a little. I ordered 2 cans of paint from OPG last week, paint cost like $12 per can, no biggie. I just got it today and I was looking over the packing list. Where the hell do they get off charging $4.75 for 2 cans of paint that cost $24? I know UPS and FedEx charges very well since I work with them everyday. There is no way that it costs almost $5 to insure something that is that cheap. The insurance charge for something that cheap is free since everything is insured at least up to $100. So let's see here, $4.75 insurance plus $8.95 for shipping is $13.70, i just shipped a 20 pound package to Canada with an insured value of $200 cheaper than that amount. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Needless to say they will be getting a phone call tomorrow, what a freakin rip off. Ok I'm going back to watching my movie now.
