This past weekend I received a product from a company (one I frequently refer you all to) that was pretty disappointing. The product was covered in black dust, as if it had been on the shelf for some time, and had a small dent. The dust alone I probably could have handled, but the dent made me upset.  I called this company to tell them my concern. The individual was very understanding and checked to see if they had more in stock.  When they did not, she told me she would refund my money and I could keep the item.

Two weeks prior, I called ANOTHER company (one I also share frequently on this site.) I had ordered a pair of shoes for my daughter and they were too big. By the time they would fit, the season for her wearing them would be through. I spent some time on the phone with this representative. In the background I could hear cheering going on and asked her what going on. She told me about a company party they had the day before and after some polite chit-chat, she made me a VIP member (free S&H for life.) I also received the pair of shoes with the correct size less than 24 hours later, even 2 days before I had a chance to mail out the wrong size.   Note: the size was my mistake, not theirs.

My point to the two stories above: When you are not satisfied with a product, I think it is wise to call the company and tell them. A majority of the time, you might get an I am sorry or the opportunity to return the item; but other times you might find yourself in a situation where they are eager to “make it better” however they can. I once ordered a swing from the first company I mentioned. When the ropes on the swing did not align, they sent me another one free of charge!

Don’t be pushy, just be concerned. Have you come into good customer service fortune?

Note: For privacy of the companies, I do not want to provide their names. This is to prevent abuse of sending new products or refunds for Company 1 and an influx of people calling for VIP memberships on Company 2.

This is a HOT deal at Staples this week, if you got the $2 Hammermill coupon this weekend in your Smart Source insert, use it on the reward deal.

Staples Hammermill Paper Ream $4.99 (get $4.49 in Staples Rebate)
$2 SS 8/29
= $1.50 MONEYMAKER

If you did not get the coupon, the paper is only $.50 after rebate which is still pretty good especially for how often we use paper during coupon prints.

Thanks, Charlene

Nothing reminds us more of the threats of the internet on children than the media. While my husband and I do not have children who yet access the internet, we do have systems to keep us both on safe domains and prevent viruses on our machines.

If you have kids accessing the net, Safety Web might be able to help.

With your subscription, you’ll receive…

-instant alerts to changes or dangers via easy-to-read reports sent directly to your Inbox.

-Help cleaning up any online damage that may have already occurred.

-Tips and tricks, tools and informative resources about how to keep your child safe online.

Plus there is NOTHING to download – no software necessary.

Right now you can get a month-long subscription for $10 and cancel at the end if you decide you don’t need it.  Or, get a year-long membership for $100. They also are running a discount right now. Use the code BACKTOSCHOOL, COUPONREFUND or SAFEKIDS for 30% Off!  This would reduce it to $7 for a month or $70 for the year.  That’s not much of a monetary investment for the peace of mind it gives!
