I think I got scammed!

The thing that ****es me off the most is that now I have to waste time out
of my day because of their screw up and mail that product back to them
(paying for it out of my pocket and they will/may refund). And I still have
to wait until they process it before I get my correct product. Maybe I
should just E-bay the disco lights and be ahead of the game. Hmmmm

The Better Business Bureau is a joke. They don't do anything but play mail
carrier, becaue they don't want to loose that money that their members pay
them.
The BBB is nothing but a front. They may have been something at one time,
but
they are nothing good now.

From what I remember, anything that is mailed to you without your consent is
yours to keep.

I was accidently sent a modem from my internet company a few months ago. It
was supposed to go to another customer. They noticed their mistake and
tried to intimidate me into mailing it back to them. I stood my ground and
got to keep the modem.

HMMM?

Why ?

Not too sure what your point is, but mine was you don't need to feel obliged
to spend your time and money (shipping) to correct someone elses mistake.
If they had taken the trouble double checking their order, he would not be
in this situation.

In my situation, I was asked to repackage it, pay for shipping and once thay
received it, they would reimburse me the exact same amount I had spent on
shipping as a renewal credit. Why would I do that ?

We're all entitled to our own opinion, but if a large corporation mails me a
$30 modem and then insists I pop by the post office and mail it back to
them, sorry it ain't going to happen. My time is more valuable to me than
this modem is to them.

Not to mention, they tried to intimidate me into mailing it back. Basically
threatening to charge me for it if I didn't mail it back within the same
week. Once they had gone that route, their was no way I was going to
cooperate. Call me hard headed, but I treat people with the same respect
they treat me.

As for the "right thing to do", I have no problem with my decision nor my
attitude in general. In fact quite the opposite.

And from what I recall, this person was getting lousy service from the
company that made the mistake. Not returning calls, getting the run around
(just look at the subject), etc.

Therefore my point was, why would he go through the trouble of fixing their
mistake when they didn't have the decency to do it themselves ?

And the "last bit of FRENCH self respect" is uncalled for. First, I'm
francophone, not french. Second, I have plenty of well deserved
self-respect.

Ok my turn yo chime in.
After the **** I took on the phone from these A holes I was trying to be
nice and save them some money. But now after I see how they operate and
treat customers. At this point I am out 10 bucks. I have 4 of those disco
lights from them that E-bay for 6 bucks. I can re E-bay them for 4 bucks
each and come out ahead of the game 6 bucks. I can send them back paying 6
bucks for shipping and if they screw me I am out 16 bucks. Yeah this is a
easy desision.
I can get my hose at home depot.

You guys won't believe it! The stuff I ordered from Empire Pets finally
arrived today! Let's see, I ordered on 1 Dec and it arrived on 28 Dec.
Hmmmmm......four weeks. Wow, that's what I call lightening fast customer
service. When I originally started this thread around the 13th, I hadn't
heard a thing from them. I e-mailed them and told them to cancel the order
since they couldn't bother answering my previous two e-mails (not to mention
not answering their phone the four or five times I called). Lo and behold I
got a reply within one hour! They tell me my stuff is scheduled for
shipment on the 15th. I don't think it did since the Post Office doesn't
usually take two weeks to deliver, even during Christmas. I went to their
site after the delivery to check my account. It still shows the order as
processing. No change since the 1st!

Even though the Amiracle overflow only cost $40, I can't help but complain
about the non-existent customer service. The only saving grace is they
shipped an extra siphon tube with it. I don't know if it was coincidence
that the tube that came with the filter has broken ends but it appears the
original box was unopened. I'll give them the benny. Bottom line: I did
get my merchandise. Will I ever order from these folks again...NO WAY!

I just wanted to inform you all what my experience with them has been and
from previous posts, it appears I'm not the only one that had problems with
them. Heads up!

Scott

I contacted the buyer who got my overflow hose and we sent each other the
correct items. ebaeseller-empire pets suck. We screwed up and we want you to
pay to get the items back to us and we will credit you. No thanks. I cut my
losses and have my product.
