John - what if it came in three pieces and broke into multiples....can you still just send back 3 pieces? *snigger*


glad to see the humor still exists!:balloon:
 
I called HO the other day to process a return for an ice cream dipper. My customer had purchased it to give as a Christmas gift and when she went to wrap it this crystalized orange stuff had come out of it. So I called to process the return and I was in the middle of talking to the lady and SHE HUNG UP ON ME!

I would give her the benefit of the doubt that it was an accident. Unless she said something to indicate she was going to, she probably didn't mean to. And if it's anything like the call center I work in, the next call rolls right in, and you don't have the opportunity to call the person back.
