Toshiba and UPS make a great Team
The story of Toshiba, UPS, and a 200g stylus
I ordered a replacement pen for my tablet PC last week. I get the dreaded UPS
infonotice which apparently they've copyrighted. Goodness knows why. I live
behind a big gate with a package opening. They won't leave it. One tiny tiny
little toss is all I want. I can't sign for it. I ring them up, I can't even
ask them to hold it. They blame toshiba. I ring toshiba. They ask for my
serial #. I don't have one. They make me write down the number for the part of the
organization that can help me without a serial number. They can't help me. UPS
makes them do it. One bloody tablet PC pen. I try to write them on their
feedback page. They demand at least 25 characters of feedback. I write a short
essay. They can't count :) . Don't buy toshiba direct and note to UPS: "Put the
package through the slot, put the package through the slot"
Dear San Francisco Chronicle,
I'm a frequent and unwilling recipient of your junk mail, paper advertising. I
have complained to your customer this time, because you've ignored my repeated r
equests to stop mailing me. Your recent junk mail of 07-03-05 1-1 #24 93986245
112******ECRWSS**C032 RESIDENT 303 SCOTT ST SAN FRANCISCO CA 94117 4390 .. f
inally pushed me over the edge. I'll continue to let your customers know what a
good job you're doing until you stop mailing me,
Happy 4th of July,
Darren
Letter sent to their advertiser:
I'm a frequent recipient of junkmail from the San Francisco Chronicle.
Depsite repeated requests to be removed from their mailing lists, they
still send me paper advertising every few days. I want you to know
that by using their advertising services, you're lowering my opinion
of your product and I will actively avoid patronizing your stores if I
see advertising with the Chronicle. Since you are a customer of theirs,
it might be worth your while asking them to stop sending me advertising.
I'm referring specifically to the 07-03-05 mail out labelled 1-1 #24
93986245 for "303 scott st" - Ironically I'm at 308 scott st, but they
have asked USPS to route it to me anyway. They're incompetent and they
are hurting your business and you deserve a better advertiser,
Darren
Dear 24-hour fitness,
after two years and $10,000 worth of reasonably good service from an
average organization but an excellent gym trainer I received a text
message while on vacation from my trainer notifying me that she was not
allowed to train me any more and that she couldn't disclose the reason.
Coincidentally you had just been pressuring her to settle a well justified
sexual harassment suit, so I'm going to speculate here a little but I'm
assuming you forced her out. No problem, I'm happy to train with her
elsewhere, but there is the slight issue of the over $500 of training I'd
just purchased not knowing you were (speculating here) Going to Force Her
Out Of the Organisation Suddenly for Complaining about Sexual Harassment.
A refund would have been polite, but no $500 was worth more to your
greedy little organisation than your reputation. You kept my $500, but
I get to
