| 473318 | 2006-07-25 03:19:00 | Received an e-mail from Customer support < Customercare@circuitcity.com> advising me that my order is being processed and information about this order is outlined in the attachment. Now I have not placed any such order and am reluctant to open the attachment as this could be some type of scam to get you to open the attachment which might contain nasties. Anybody else out there received such an e-mail ? |

| 473323 | 2006-07-25 04:08:00 | Don't know about NZ postal laws, but here if you receive any goods that you didn't send for or order, then they are free to you. No strings attached. :D Besides...Circuit City is a store in the US anyway, circuitcity.com |

Now I have not placed any such order and am reluctant to open the attachment as this could be some type of scam to get you to open the attachment which might contain nasties. I would just delete it without bothering to open the attachment. |

No strings attached. :D Yup, works for us that way as well. Though you are obliged to wait a period of time (one month?) to give them the opportunity to recover the goods if they wish but if they don't the goods are yours. ;) |

A one month waiting period? I'd charge them storage if they tried to take it back...after all, you kept it secure in your abode and that should be worth something. |

| 473327 | 2006-07-26 01:42:00 | Yeah, well I would charge them storage too, if I were actually given something big enough to store . :p Years ago I started receiving unsolicited packs of greetings cards from a Foot and Mouth Artists outfit around Christmas time . I am sure they played on people's sympathy and conscience and it certainly worked on me for a couple of years as I coughed up for them even though I wasn't particularly fussed with all of the cards . When the third pack arrived I sent it back with "not known at this address" on it but they still sent another the following year so I kept it . And the year after that . They then finally got the message but blow me down I got another one a couple of years ago . I don't think they still had me on their mailing list though because I had long since moved from the previous address . Anyway, I sent that back even though I didn't have to and hopefully have heard the last from them by now . Much as I admire them I'm not going to buy something I don't particularly like or have a use for just out of sympathy . :rolleyes: |
