Thanks Wabo. That's pretty much what I'm thinking. It's not about the $10.85, it's about the lack of respect and understanding of my side of this poorly handled situation. I've been having to deal with this for about six weeks now, when all I did was order a blu-ray.

Thanks for your comment on my rant. It was only $10.85, so it's really not that big of a deal, but it's more about the principle of the poor way they have handled my problem. Oh well, I've already got the blu-ray, so we'll see how they respond to my message.

What are you up to tonight? I'm just doing laundry and watching tv. I had a Factor-sized work day today , but tomorrow is a short day.

Exactly the principal out ways the price. I'll tell you a quick short story A few years ago I ordered some GIK panels for my room and changed my mind and switched from bass traps to some Elite panels framed in wood . So I called back within a hour to change the order and he said no problem and he would personally change my order and assured me he would take care of it . Well they ended up sending me the wrong panels so I called him back and played phone tag and emails for a day or so . Basically he said send them back and they would pay for return shipping and then be would send me the correct panels . I procceded to tell him how busy my schedule was and how inconvenient it was going to be . He responded back with keep the panels free of charge and sent me the correct panels I can't remember but it was around 200 plus dollars for the panels . That's some excellent CS and if I ever get any more room Treatments it will be from GIK .Anyway ya man I'm beat had another 101/2 hour day. Think I'm going to turn in soon, had a good day but I'm beat .

Thanks for sharing that experience. Now that is some quality customer service!

You've got me beat by about an hour today. Luckily tomorrow will be much shorter. Have a great night buddy.

I would not have contacted them. No good deed goes unpunished. They should have responded with sorry the length of time was an inconvenience to you, please enjoy your BD, and we look forward to hearing from you again.

The cost of sending it back would be too much. Cannot believe they even suggested that. When I've had issues, amazon sends a replacement and tells me to donate, or trash the problem disc.

I had a nightmare with DeepDiscount that tools months of back no forth just to get what was owed. Will never buy from them again. Amazon has good policies, 3rd party sellers not always.

Looking back now, I really wish I wouldn't have even told them that I received it, since they had already refunded the money to my card, but I naively thought they would handle it properly, and it seemed like the right thing to do. Hopefully since I thoroughly explained the situation, they'll do just that, but who knows.

My main concern at this point is that I don't become black-listed on Amazon because of a problem with one of the sellers on their site. If worse comes to worse, I'll just fill them in on all of the details of my situation, and they'll probably handle it correctly. Anytime I've had a problem with Amazon directly, they have always quickly made things right.

Thanks for stopping by Travis, but I've got to finish my laundry and get to bed. Have a great afternoon!

Evenin' Russ.

Just got home from work and for some reason I'm feeling incredibly sleepy, but I have an old friend coming over to have a few beers in a little while, so I guess I need to wake the funk up!

And all the rest of home for which to when some ever partially-indeterminate bio-chemical degradation, seek the path to the sudsy yellow nozzle of their foaming nocturnal parametric digital whole-wheat interfaith geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta.

You are the only person that I've ever known of that is familiar enough with Zappa's etymological choices to make an intelligent observation about his lyrical content, that still cares less for him.

I used to have a couple of buddies that were Zappa heads. I had to listen to that crap all day long. His goofy xylophone swooshes and whoop! Whiz! Bangs! drove me batty. The torture never stopped... literally.

Damn! Now that's a man-sized quote there.

It's kind of cliche, but with Zappa, you either love him, or hate him, if you are familiar enough with him to have an opinion either way, I have a lot more respect for people that can't stand his rhetoric, than ignorant people that aren't even familiar with him, how you like, all these commas?

Haha! This is so true. I guess I'm weird because I don't fall in either direction. I do now I can only take him in very small doses. I start getting really confused after listening to him, which scares the crap out of me.....sorry Uncle Frank!

RIBBIT!!!!!!! dude..........


How did the entertaining go last night ?

DeepDiscount SUCKS. Ordered from them once or twice, took FOREVER to get my order(s). NEVER AGAIN. Or, NEVAH', as us New Englanders are prone to say.

You won't have a problem on/with Amazon. I'd def call or email, or do a quick LIVE CHAT with them & explain what happened. That way they'll have a record of the problem & will prob also contact the 3rd party in question.
