Too good to be true!!

Ummm . . . you don't think that calling a company to let them know they made a mistake is a more effective way to make them realize it? Clearly, you're just trying to talk yourself into feeling better about stealing.



What no one has said to this point is that Max from Autogeek/Pinnacle is just a hard working Joe just like you or I trying to make his way in the world. How would you like it if someone walked into your garage and stole your PC? I don't think you would, but that's essentially what we're talking about here. People tend to forget that there are hard working people with families behind the face of every corporation. When you steal from a corporation you're stealing from all those people.



If we were talking about some foam applicators here that would be different because it would cost them more to ship them back than to replace them in inventory. But this is an expensive item.

Who the FCUK do you think you are???



You ***, I didn't steal anything, MORON.



Clearly, you need to learn to read.



Do you own a business? Have you ever lost THOUSANDS of dollars because of incompetence??? Grow up and learn to understand what you read.



Companies only learn about inventory problems when there is variance. Fixing the problem early saves money. The part of the company infrastructure that discovers the problem is Accounting. You need to have that variance to correct the problem. As Scotwax posted earlier, there's nothing legally that says you can't keep it.



BUT CALLING ME A THIEF IS SLANDER. I didn't steal or keep anything, you MORON.



Please keep your stupid mouth shut.



End of rant.



Peace.
 
^^ he was just commenting on your reply saying that you would have kept it. He did not explicitly say that you were a thief. He was just stating the view of the other party. Why are you being so defensive? Take a spray of nice smelling QD and calm down... :)



Anyway, by Blktac alerting autogeek that they had made a mistake, now they will look into their inventory system and identify the error that caused all those items to be shipped out with the order. So his honesty probably also alerted autogeek to a potential flaw in their inventory system, which could be another reason why Max gave such a large reward.

I'm not trying to be a d*** or anything, but if I received something that expensive that I did not pay for, I would contact the seller and tell them about what happened. "What goes around comes around" for me is not only a saying, it is the way I live my life.

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THESE GUYS THE RIGHT WAY

As David B. and Aaron point out you need to relax and write your posts with more decorum and respect for other people. Calling people names and questioning my intelligence was completely uncalled for.



With all due respect, I think you are the one who needs to learn to read more carefully. One of the reasons why your rant was completely uncalled for was that I never ever accused you of stealing anything. You stated you would have kept the PC if you were in this situation and my post were simply comments about that. Based on Aaron's post other people had no problem understanding what I wrote. So, I'm not sure why you did.



Also, I did read Scottwax's post about the legality of keeping the PC and am quite familar with the fact that it is legal to keep incorrectly addressed packages or items shipped to you in error. However, there is a clear and distinct difference between legal right & wrong and moral right & wrong.



You also state that "companies only learn about inventory problems when there is variance." In the situation that has been discussed in this thread, the person who received the PC incorrectly alerted customer service of the error. In a very short time, the notice of this error made it all the way to Max, the owner of the company. I would say at this point the error is well known within the company and was not discovered through inventory variance. So, I would say your statement is incorrect or incomplete at best.



If you should choose to respond to this post with anything other than an apology, I will not reply. It would be impolite and inconsiderate of me to take this post off topic any longer.

What part of



" Clearly, you're just trying to talk yourself into feeling better about stealing."



is not accusing me of stealing???



You are refuted by your own post.



And when did I ever say I would keep it??? I never said that.



Please stop lying.



Peace.

I'm going to go against the crowd and say you should have kept it.



That's the only way for the online dealer to discover and fire incompetence. If you had kept it, accounting would report a variance in inventory, and if this is a pattern, the person who is incompetent is fired. Now that you returned the item, there will be no variance in inventory, and maybe the next mistake will cost the online retailer, $2000 instead of $150. And if you don't think this kind of mistake doesn't happen, you are wrong. I've seen it happen myself, but the mistake was in the tens of thousands of dollars.



Peace.

It must be nice to be perfect..... :rolleyes:



Using your flawed logic...anyone who makes a mistake at work would be terminated.

You did the right thing by returning property that was not inteded for you. While some people suggested you keep the PC, the majority here agreed the right thing to do was to return it. I think most would agree that knowingly keeping property that does not belong to you is considered stealing whether it is delivered to your door or if it was taken by force.



I was particularly glad to hear that you were rewarded for your honesty. Although, at the same time I was disappointed that some people felt you were not rewarded enough. Doing the right thing should be it's own reward. It doesn't always pay off in the end monetarily, but you always end up sleeping well at night. Again, I thank you for sharing your story.

If someone said to me, "Clearly you're just trying to talk yourself into feeling better about abortion", does that mean that he is accusing me of wanting to have an abortion? (I'm male, BTW) No, he is not accusing me of wanting to have an abortion, but questioning my rational on my opinion on why abortion should be allowed. So statements such as the one Mikeyc made do not constitute an accusation.

Thanks for backing me up Aaron. I really appreciate that. However, I don't think it's fair to BlkTac05 to take his thread off topic any longer. It's better if people want to be irrational and angry just to ignore them. If he continues the way he does he'll be banned and then we won't have to deal with him.

Ahhh. Yes. I better not hijack BlkTac05's thread any longer. :)
 
Thanks for your kindness guys. I really don't feel as though this thread has been hijacked at all. The great aspect of this forum is open discussion, which I encourage greatly. I appreciate everybody's input.
 
Here's my final update: My box of goodies from PBMA (autogeek) will be here 1/23/06. And on a side note......my FK1 #425 arrived today. ( a few days late, I might add)
 
Final, final update.......(lol)

My box of goodies from PBMA/Autogeek showed up right on time today. I couldn't help but smile when I saw 2 free samples of WG Black Onyx Tire Gel included. I mean really............Max was kind enough to give me a $100.00 worth of free products & free shipping..........Then he throws in 2 more free samples. Just amazing! This experience has truely been the greatest example of "world class customer service" I've ever been a part of. My heart felt thanks go out to Meghan & Max at PBMA/Autogeek/Pinnacle/Wolfgang. I'm blown away by their act of kindness. To receive so much in return for simply doing the right thing is quite humbling.
 
I am glad for you too!! It seems appropriate since I know that you have helped me with your posts. Who knows how many you have actually helped? You are a role model! in more than just detailing.



Now, doing the right thing, it is rewarded the right way!!
