Take my new cartridge back

I found an unopened glass quart bottle of pop stored down in my
parents basement when we were cleaning after they passed away. Should
I have returned it to Cotton Club and asked for a refund? It was not
opened, it was not cracked and I know it belonged to Cotton Club
Bottling company because the bottle read as such.

Let me know what to do with this other than save it as a remberance of
days gone by when pop was bottled by the quart in glass returnable
bottles, or toss it out.

It is not new! You found it with some other old crap while you were
cleaning out your STORAGE cabinet.

return
verb (used with object)
to put, bring, take, give, or send back to the original place,
position, etc.

Why should they take it back when you did not get it there???

I read all the replys just for the laughs.

The title reminds me of the old joke, "Take my wife... PLEASE!"

"Unfortunately, we do not know when it was purchased and do not have a
receipt" So how do you know it isn't expired??? "but it hasn't gotten
the results I had expected " The results you wanted were them telling
you that you can return it for full credit.

I REFUSE to believe this LETTER is real.

While cleaning out my boys' closets, I found tons of clothes that they
outgrew before they could wear them. They still have the tags on them.
I have no proof of where they came from, but I think I might try
returning them to Target...

...whadaya think, sound like a good idea?

Oh, wait, I decided to pass them on to someone who can use them more
than I can.

You booted up your computer, loaded an operating system, browsed over
to this site and wasted pixels composing this crap?

Yeah Right! Nice Try

It was probably "recently located" at a flea market or swap meet or
Office Max

Ok #1- You admit you have no item as to when you purchased it..
therefore, it is most likely expired and dried up. How do you know you
purchased it from this store if you have no receipt?? Sounds to me
like your trying to rip off the company.

The nerve of those people!! You have no way to prove that you
purchased the item from their store (notice I did not say, that you
cannot prove it CAME from the store) and they are not giving you store
credit?? I cannot believe that!! What a horrible business practice
We should be able to take anything to any store w/o having to prove we
paid for it, heck, why not just steal it and try to make a profit off
it!

and I called Dick's and asked them to give me store credit. Would you
believe they asked about a receipt? Got all snippy with me so I hung
up. Imagine.

Here is the point.... I spend literally THOUSANDS of dollars MONTHLY
as the purchasing agent for my company; all of the purchasing is done
with Office Depot, but this was a PERSONAL purchase..... I used to
work for Office Depot and for Staples and I know what kinds of
controls they place on this kind of product (which makes it difficult
to steal). The box these things come in makes it difficult enough to
walk out of the store without paying for it. In the interest of not
exposing their secrets, I will not discuss what I know here.

The point of my complaint is the response I received seemed to be
automated, scripted; and appeared that my complaint had not even been
read, as it did not answer some very specific questions I had.

If they do not respond to my concern, they will LOSE (my annual office
supply budget is over $250K, and I haven't been under that budget in
the last 3 years; this budget is equal to an average store's sales for
1 week) not only business from me personally, but from my company, and
all those that I can influence.

Go argue with the manager at a STORE. Doing this over the internet is
insane; you don't even have a receipt. Maybe you can browbeat someone
in person into acquiescing to your demand. You can give them the
whole $250,000 a year song and dance routine. Or, mention all the
friends you'll tell, and how you'll create a website bashing the
company. For not taking back an item you have no receipt for. LOL

I have had annual budgets of around $100000, and I would never, ever
consider reestablishing contacts and migrating all the sourcing over a
measly

spend thousands of dollars months at Office Depot, your firm does.
I'd like to sit in on the meeting where you propose they switch
vendors because OD would not take back some toner cartridge that you
found.

You sir, are beyond petty. If you would drop a long standing vendor
over an $86 item which was a personal purchase, and for which you have
no reciept, you should not have control over a 250k budget. In fact, I
believe that your company should know that you would stoop so low as
to threaten a vendor over a personal issue. You are not acting in the
best interests of your firm.

..to theft..... Our biggest problem was INKJET cartridges... we would
find the packaging sliced open and empty in the store (at least one
per week)... These are easier to walk out of the store...

As far as my buying power goes,I DO make ALL the purchasing decisions:
I negotiate contracts, purchase prices, and quantities. I am a
representative for a property management firm representing a large
number apartment communities, representing over 20,000 units
throughout the state(that we OWN). This firm is a FAMILY operation and
makes all decisions internally.

...blackmail.

That's exactly what you're doing. If they don't accept back a return,
without any receipt, a year (was it?) later... you're going to pull
your business account.

That's blackmail. Do you feel just a little bit ashamed?

If not, then I guess they should give it to you. You clearly haven't
been raised to have morals.

Then this peon amount of money isn't worth the hassel. Most of us
here know the trade secrets also. Your point is you got the auto
reply. My point is why ask a company to eat the cost of your stupid
mistake?

you are always over your annual budget! :P

I work for OD. You say you know the controls they place on
cartridges/toners which makes it difficult to steal them. They still
get stolen.

As for getting a store credit all you need is an ID if you don't have
a receipt. Of course, it's up to the manager.

Looks like you might get $20, $30 for it.

Why should they take it back? How do you know you bought it there?
You need to find an organization that will accept it as a donation, or
discard it. I don't blame any business for not taking it back. It
may not even work properly now, depending on how long it was sitting
in a storage cabinet.
