Finally, a conclusion

I know I said that I wouldn't talk about this any longer, but I just had to let you all know what happened. (I just got home, so that is why the update is so late.)

I called The Lampo Group to confirm the address and was told that they would not accept opened product, because they can't resell them. I tried to explain that Jeanette (the woman I spoke with yesterday) knew that the product was opened, blah, blah, blah. The woman just kept saying "You will have to speak to a supervisor..." and transfered me. I got a voice mail box so I hung up. I figured that there was no point talking to a supervisor if they could not accept returns, and that I would just resell the ebay kit.

Five minutes later my phone rang. It was the woman I spoke with telling me that there has been some mis-communication. She spoke with Jeannette and was told that a credit had been issued yesterday. Long story short... they are giving me 100% of my money back and will not accept the kit back. I tried to explain to her that if I am keeping the kit, I will pay for it. It was my 'mistake' (whether based on misinformation or not, it was still my mistake) and I will pay for it. She said that "We want you to keep it and use it, because we know that it works."

Now who feels like a schmuck?

So now I have two kits. We have decided to either donate the ebay kit to someone or sell it and give the money to charity.

I would like to think it was my mad writing skills - what with my über persuasive 1:30am email - but honestly I just think that they are just nice people who were tired of dealing with me.

See how I always manage to make things way more complicated than they need to be?!

What if you do round-robin with the kit! What if you share it with those of us who can't afford it, and then we send it on to someone else?

Oh wow! That is great! They are really nice over there aren't they! I think it's a nice idea to donate it to someone who really needs it and would use it.

I really like Anne's idea! In fact, email me your address and as soon as I get it I will drop it in the mail to you. I have no idea when it is coming, but will let you know when it gets here. Do you have TMMO? It came with it, but if you already have it I will pass it on to someone else. If you don't, I will send it too.
