on xmas eve i purchased a pair of speakers on-line from future shop. they were an excellent deal, polk rti 12's, regular $1500 for $349. they're large speakers, 50 inches high and weigh 85 pounds each. i had visions of blowing the roof off our house.
today i received an email from future shop stating that there was a misprint on the website and the price was $349 for one speaker not the 2 speakers stated on the website. i was angry and called future shop to cancel the order. i was told that since the order had been processed and my credit card charged there was no way to cancel the order. i have one 85 pound speaker in transit. i don't happy!
after several calls i was told to refuse delivery and the speaker would be returned to the canada post warehouse and after 10 days it would be returned to future shop upon which my credit card would be refunded the $399. ($349 plus sales tax and some fucking enviromental charge) in the meantime i have the charge on my credit card with the hope some fucking crooked company will straighten out the charges. i've sent 2 emails complaining about the deceptive practice and so far haven't received a reply. maybe i'll send them a box of dog shit.
on a different note, i now have a coffee grinder along with some primo beans courtesy of sonny. so far i'm enjoying the freshly ground beans but the real test will be a few months down the road if i tire of grinding beans and cleaning the grinder.
i love you sons of bitches.

Did you complain to the credit card company? They can through a monkey wrench in business' ass faster than flies can eat shit. What cads!
Hey... whole bean coffee.
Things are looking up.
I change my offer to only one share of my ditch digging company.
bob - in the past the credit card company has always told me to sort it out with the vendor.
thims - yup, now i have to find chocolate flavored beans!
Well that is just wrong. If you go into a store and they have something on the shelf posted with the wrong price, they have to honor that!
It would be better for them if they simply made you happy by honoring their ad at the time of sale to you, since it was processed before they found the mistake. Dopes!
Be sure you go back on line and leave a review of the problem you had with them to warn others.
Coffee is a wonderful gift!
silly - i don't have to warn anyone. the forum on red flag deals have a thread that's about 20 pages long with people squawking and bitching about the problem.
i'm just pissed about being charged and having to wait about a month for a refund. the actual speakers are so big they might have been more trouble than they're worth.
Something tells me we haven't heard the end of the speaker fiasco.
Grinding whole beans is no big deal, I still grind up a lot of meat with an old hand grinder and make better hamburger than the over three dollar a pound shit.
Anyway, Allen has Dogwood on CD's and is going to lend them to me to watch.
bill - dogwood or deadwood?
Oh, yeah, deadwood, sorry, brain fart.
I just thought of Rebecka, the gal in Oregon that I went to meet and fixed her car and shit like that.
I know that she moved and got married and things like that but haven't seen her visit your blog for some time, and she worshiped the ground you walk on.
well that sucks..call better business bureau..
Tire of grinding the beans and cleaning the grinder?
WTFF?
Are you grinding them manually? 'cause pressing a button ain't that fcuking tiring. A decent electric grinder will grind for years with zero maintenance.
And have yourself a good new year pilgrim.
And all the rest of you slackers too.
bill - i think she married a doctor and moved to argentina.
yellowdog - it looks like i'm going to get satisfaction on the speakers. i might come out smelling like a rose.
hugh - i made the terrible mistake of reading the owner's manual that said to clean the thing on a regular basis.
thanks for setting me straight you canny son of a bitch.
I found her blog, she married a cross between a hippie and a hillbilly and hasn't blogged much the last year and what she did blog about was mostly babble.
I suppose she spends most of her time on Facefuck, women seem to like that site and collecting make believe friends.
Hugh, aka Harry, gave me a small coffee grinder, regrinding my cheap ass store bought coffee makes it go further.
I see that you are up and about early on this first day of the year. Have you seen any improvement yet? I haven't.
50 inches high and weigh 85 pounds each?
Man, you must really like to rock.
Sorry it was a rip-off.

tex - it's turning out to be an excellent deal!
I love that friggin' song. Sounds as if you're having to go through some very redundant and frustrating hoops.
Well, at least you can enjoy the coffee beans. And we can all look forward to the End of Days coming at the end of this year. I've got my hand lotion ready.
