Try Rural King or TSC or similar store for one of those stufers.

To be honest, no I have not. I consider it unethical to agree to buy something, and then return it on a wim. it drives up the price of the items to others. I don't feel right cheating other people.

In farming, it is common to order a bit more seed or herbicide, and return the extra that you over-ordered. Simpley the way business is done.

I don't even do that.

Just something that bugs me, people who don't plan or care about the cost to others.

No big deal, just my personal view of things. I understand I am very much in the minority by caring about others.

if you realy care about others why would you have a problem with them changing their mind? That sounds like disdain for others and anyone who operates in a differant manner than you. I had no problem reading or comprehending the original post. Ronco is an unethical company with a history of misleading claims and junk products. They employ sales and customer relations policies which are as abusive as permitted by law, and have had brushes with the laws in the past, so beware. One recent instance was charging credit cards for merchandise that was not in stock and had not yet been manufactured in china. Ok all you grammer police have fun picking apart my misspellings and improper sentance structure as well as the capitalization and punctuation flaws.

Unregistered, you made no sense.

In the grand scheme of things, this isn't a big deal to me. Someone singled my name out & commented on my comments, so I gave fruther explination. I stand by how I feel, but don't inrend to let it keep me awake at night. And I'm not trying to cast stones at anyone, just voicing my opinion on the whole matter. I don't think that is such a cardinal sin as you want to make it?

It doesn't bother me if people change their mind. But, ordering something, then canceling the order before you get it, and complaining about the 'service' just kinda strikes a nerve with me. You cost a company money & time when you do that. Surely a person should expect to pay a sevice charge for that time & effort lost?

Now, I certainly don't stand up for all the flim-flam companies that are out there. Many, if not most, of them are up to no good, and I'm _not_ in their corner on this!

But, 2 wrongs don't make a right. You can't say it is right to steal from this company, because once in a while they are wrong.

That logic doesn't fly either.

Anyhow, this is not a big deal to me. Don't mean to wig anyone out. Just a nice friendly conversation. Probably a lot of folks are quietly wondering why someone so close to a credit limit is ordering such an item from such a company to begin with - but that would appear to be judgemental, & no point getting into that issue at all. If I were perfect - but, the log in my eye verses the spec in someone else's surely applies here.

As to spelling and grammer, I must win the worst ever award on that, so you needn't worry about any compaints from me.....

(Well - I scattered a whole bunch of smilie & winkie faces in my message to look light-hearted & smiling & just trying to enjoy a nice conversation without being bothered by any of this - and it won't post my message, says too many images. So, I removed them all. Bummer. Please take my comments with a smile & good intentions on my face throughout.)

i don't see cancelling an order as stealing. Don't forget their advertising explicitly states you may return their products for full refund for 30 days no reason at all required. Part of the problem this original post is dealing with is ronco does not take the orders they contract a phone boiler room to do that. they do not make the products they contract chinese companies to do that. I would not be suprised if they do not even warehouse or ship the items. Basicly they make comercials and take a cut.As far as cacelled orders running up costs it happens all the time in the buisness world as well as the private sector for all kinds of reasons. Most states even have consumer laws which give consumers a day to cancel certain purchases. The cost is probably roughly equivelant to the cost to process a credit card purchase or a purchase order. Based on that it is hardly fair to berate someone for cancelling an order without also berating the use of purchase orders and credit purchases since they run up costs more due to them occuring more frequently. In the case of the undelivered goods the law eventualy stepped in and required ronco to refund credit cards that had been charged for goods still undelivered after 6 months. charging credit cards for goods not in your posession and not delivered is stealing cancelling an order is not. Taking goods and canceling payment would be stealing.

Hmmm Ugh <blushes> Ok maybe I should have been thinking a bit better but it did sound like a deal. My DH often keeps up with the money in-money out. So I Ooopsd.

PAUL What made me angry is I called in less than 10-minutes to cancel. Had Ronco actually been the order taker Maybe they could have cancelled right then. Since the items was not even in their order "pipeline" on Monday they wouldn't have lost a thing, but they (ronco) still wouldn't cancel. (they said they would but didn't) If I understand it the people that answer the phones to take orders are paid in volume sets it's cheaper than by per call. So at that point I hadn't cost them anything. And Paul I am a woman so I have a right to change my mind And if your married You know that's just the way it is :haha:


BCR Now I have imagies off WKRP (the tv show) :haha: You know Herb Tarlic


If and when they get here I'll let you know.

this is sort of confusing

I am not supposed to order knives because you did at a time when you didnt know whether you wanted them or not?

I have ordered from Ronco. I did not order the extended warrantee at the time of purchase. When my product broke after the original warrantee was expired, they allowed me to weigh the cost of fixing it againt the cost of buying the extended warrantee at that point. They allowed me to buy the extended warrantee and then they fixed my machine.

I have never had anyone else done that for me. Wouldnt it be great if car dealers would do that

OK knives came. Not what I expected. Kinda flimsy compared to what was shown on TV. I thought they would be better than my Ginsu 2000 set I bought at Flea Market for $5.00 Still in box I might add. Nope paid $57 dollars and they did not beat Ginsu's :waa: . Mine were not as sharp as RON makes them out to be. The Great styling kit was a 1 page print off the web and don't even tell how to use the "garnish" knife to make what they showed on the commercial. Injector thingy was a lot smaller than what I expected

The Cleaver was ok and I may get good use out of it.

DH got me what I wanted but; The wanting was better than the having. <Spock said that, and he's smarter than Kirk >
