How about this to test your integrity. A while back JC Penny and Docker's ran a special where you bought $100 worth of selected Docker's apparel and you get a free 7" portable DVD player.
OK, I bit and sent in the necessary proof of purchase, receipts and so forth for my ONE DVD player.
A month goes by and I check on line from a email sent by the fulfilment center which states the DVD player had been shipped and the ONE tracking number. The next few days go by and at my door are TWO identical boxes with my name and separate shipment numbers. IE, not one box of two. One of one and that was it.
I open the boxes and what do I find? You guessed it, TWO Coby DVD players! Well I said Honey, guess what? We have a Christmass gift out of the way for two of our kids!
A month has gone by and UPS comes to my door today. Here for a pickup. A pickup I ask? Yes he says. I can only think it must be something my wife was sending back to Avon. So I ask, what is it for or who is it from? He states it is for a DVD player!
I stand there scratching my head asking myself out loud, A DVD player? Remember a month has gone by and the two DVD players are still sitting in the shipping boxes on my desk.
I tell the UPS driver I had to call my wife and ask her what was going on and he says there is a phone number on the pickup order and just then the lightbulb goes off in my head what the pickup is all about.
Then the UPS driver gives me the phone number and says he will return tomorrow for the box. I say OK and send him on his way. Now the phone call.
I call the number and ask what this is all about and the lady asks me did I receive TWO DVD players. I did not tell her who I was or anything so I thought and said aaaaa wellllll yes I did receive TWO players. She said well then send one back,.. it was sent by mistake.
Sooooo.. I ask did this happen to many people? She states yes MANY people received TWO instead of one. So I ask her are many sending them back? She said yes. (Yea right!) So I tell her I will do the same when the driver comes back tomorrow.
I call her back and ask do I get a receipt for the returned player? No, we have no way of tracking the returns. WHAT? you are asking me to do the honorable thing and no documentation is going to exist to prove that fact? She states that's right.
Well,... I ask her to look up my name and address which I finally give her and she does. I tell her to make a note in my record that I sent this back , which I am going to do. I always try to do the right thing to avoid bad karma.
I just pity the poor minimum wage idiot who sent all those duplicate shipments out the door!
Has this happened to anyone else with the Docker's deal and what did you do or will you do? Or, what would you do in a similar circumstance.
