Just a bit miffed? Insulted? Annoyed? *small rant*

How can someone charge you a restocking fee when there is nothing to restock? I know my hens would be really miffed if i tried to "restock" them!

Alot of companies do this scam..dont pay a thing! and dont worry about it. nothing they can do..unless there was shady/sneaky fine print in the paper work you sent in asking them about the breed. and even then...you didnt pay for them..so..i'd say...they lose!

That happened to me with Gurney's nursery. I picked out some trees, put them in the shopping cart to check shipping charges, too much so I left. Not logged in, just checking.

So both sets of trees come, and they said on a card that there was a problem with my charge card.....No kidding? I never gave it to you, cause I never ordered.

I cornered their customer service rep, how did you know where to send it, I wasn't logged in, and do not have an account with them. When she couldn't answer, the conversation was over.

I often visit websites and put items in a cart, to check shipping. It would be so much easier if they would total as you go. Some sites do, and it is a nice feature.

So I have cherry trees I did not order, but I am going to pay for them. Just not all at once, over a few months. Even if it was their fault, I will pay them.

Please don't. You would just be supporting an awful business practice, or at least a messed up way to run a business.

I know you must feel you should pay for what you received. However, you did not order them, so you have no obligation to pay for them. Paying just perpetuates this sort of scam practice. Don't do it.

I have mail ordered form these nurseries for years. I always thought Gurney's was a legitimate firm. If they are, they will not even want payment.

I agree with ddawn...do not pay for it. That was there problem...they can offer to pay for shipping back to them if they want the trees back. Not your order and not your fault.

No worries there...I need to drive 6 hours for more ducklings like I need a hole in my head. LOL Nope 11 in the brooder is enough.

I just do not like the way they do business, they never responded to their stupid form about my questions and now call and say "you ducks have hatched come get them". I do not think so.

I had that happen way back when I was in high school.

The local Gamers Shop, were people gathered to play various card games and could buy comic books or Star Wars/Startrek stuff, with Dungeons and Dragons stuff as well, etc etc.
Geek Haven.

Well anyway a friend of mine and I were looking at his WarHammer 40k figures, and the order catalog as the owner was chatting with us. I casually turned to my friend and said,
"I wish that I could see the so and so figure in person."

He didnt have it cause it was a 200 dollar figure and no one we knew had one.
Just being a kid wanting to see something I thought Id never be able to afford..

Well we go in the next weekend and hang about and the owner doesnt mention anything to us.

The next weekend after that, he comes up to me and says that he got my order in.
What order ? He pulls out the box with the 200 dollar figure in it and goes to the cash register and starts to ring it up ! I quickly tell him that I never said for him to order it.

He started yelling and screaming that he was going to call the cops and so on and so forth. Well I leave mortified as he did this in front of all my gaming friends.

I call my dad, who I swear to this day has never steered me wrong. He told me to meet him in the parking lot of the shop. We both go in and my dad talks to the guy.

Were is the order receipt with my son's name on it ?
He had people sign like permission slip to order stuff. You know name, phone number, address, etc
Nope he could not produce one !

Do you know my son's name ?
Nope, he only knew my nickname. Who is going place a order under a nickname and no address ?

Did you get the 20% payment up front for the order, according the rule that you have posted on the wall behind your register ?
You had to pay 20% up front for him to order stuff.
Sure did not.

Well my dad told the guy that he was stuck with it. The owner said I was banned.
Friends told me he had it on the display till the place went out of business four months later.
