I have 3 things to say here people.
1. Toker, the person answering the phone lines normally don’t have a clue where they work, they just read off a screen to every caller. And you probably interrupted their time in some chat room or FORUM! Glad you called them, but pay no money from your pocket for returning.
2. Tom, what the heck did you say?
3. Diogenes, hehehe, “Man’s gotta know his priorties”, mine just happens to be food! LOL
yeah, yeah, yeah, anybody seen my Protools rig?

That's exactly my point to Tom.

Sure it was someone's mistake but their customer service person had the gaul to tell me that I might be charged a 15% restocking fee if the item wasn't packaged properly.
Unfortunately, the lesson in life is that this kind of thing happens frequently when you try to do the right thing!

IN this case I'd complain like Hell.
MFL - Toker has your rig. He told me he got it by mistake.

Nope. They worked me like a borrowed mining mule at the plant today. I'm too pooped to poop.
I gotta get started on the corpse one of these days...

Final update on this & you are going to laugh.
I sent the mic back.
MF was friendly & sent me a mailing label by email so I wouldn’t have to spend anything.
However, while I was explaining what happened to them, I realized that the original item, a One-Spot power adapter, was which on backorder, was NOT actually the item I wanted.
I had mistakenly ordered the wireless version, so I corrected that with the customer service rep.
A week or so later, the One-spot power adapter came in & everyone was happy.
Well today I got another package from MF & guess was what in it (3 guesses & the 1st two don’t count).
Yep - the back ordered One-Spot wireless adapter showed up at my door.
THESE IDIOTS!
So now I’ve some good karma to spare, I am NOT going to send this back to MF.
If anyone would like it, it’s yours for the shipping.
Sorry Tom but my morals are out the window for this one.
MF just lost $20.00 plus shipping for their ignorance, and I’ll sleep well tonight!
Hi Mike:
They’re holding to it to send you something…
It seems they need you on their shipping records for some reason…
It’s nice to be honest sometimes…
But at times that can come back and bite you…
I wouldn’t be overly concerned over this…
I think this one will save them from loading them on the trash truck and paying to take them and other stuff to the land-fill site to make way for warehouse space…
Tom…
I watched the Leafs play two CBC… Hockey Night in Canada Games… and they lost both of them…
The Blackhawks are looking pretty good… There’s a couple of kids on that bench that are playing pretty nice hockey…
Well…
Bill…
Sometimes book-keeping at large companies is not up to par.
For example, we ordered 12 billion dollars from the
U.S. to set up our banking system in Iraq. But when
we went to distribute it to our banks, we found there
was 8 billion missing. We suspect that some of our
staff mistakenly sent money to people who did not
order it. This is just part of doing business.
And that’s supposed to make me feel better how, seven?
Mike, your theory of karma needs some work.

Actually I don't think so. Stuff like this has happened to me all my life - sh*t luck I call it. But I am not sending the unit back, despite how quilty you or anyone else makes me feel :-)
Well, geez, I mean, I’d bedder not try to make you feel quilty…that might have you in stitches…and that would be real downy…I want you to feel warm and cozy…
Nah, I just meant that classically, karma operates in the next lifetime, not in this one. So sending back the first item gave you a bit of positive karmic momentum for the next incarnation, but it has no effect on this one.
I’m always surprised at how greed motivates people to rationalize things. Ain’t no difference between the 20 buck item and a 200 dollar one. S’OK, I’m a hypocrite, I too have done things that I shouldn’t have, out of greed.

That sounds plausible (since I really don't know anything about this stuff). I guess I built up alot of karma in my previous life then - according to this?

Greed has absolutely nothing to do with my decision. Now the value of the mic did make me think twice about sending it back. I'm going to give this thing away, so how is it that greed is motivating me?
Actually, the fact that you are a human being means you are pretty evolved, in karmic terms. Quite a bit further than a bug, say. One wonders where W will reincarnate.
Very interesting thread… but the best part was phoo’s quote

I labeled the speaker cabinets on my sound system to say “RIGHT” and “WRONG” instead of “LEFT” and “RIGHT”. That sure messed up the roadies. (seriously)
I dunno - I’ve always liked the joke that when it comes to politics, my heart is in the right place - the left.
