Make sure when you call your lawyer and seek punitive damages that you inform him you were purchasing a hydroponic marijuana growing device, which constitutes attempted cultivation of a controlled substance, in violation of several FEDERAL, local and state laws in Illinois...
I'm sure that will have some bearing on whether or not he takes your case. Chode.
Wow THought, You know what a Chode is? This guy has not said ANYTHING derogitory or negative in anyway... The reponses he has recieved are two-folds worse to say the least. AND just to prove how moronic, ignorant, and arragent you Thought, Martin of Bubbleponics, and anyone else, involved in this political debate on whats right and wrong. Rotitup.com is EXACTLY what it says it is a Hydroponic Herbal Supply Store and Online Forum. THATS IT! Its the consumer/bloger that makes it their own illegal domain when they mention weed, Dro, Pot, Gonja, or anything else of or relating to Cannibis. AND in your defense people IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO DISCUSS, TALK ABOUT, OR EVEN SAY YOU DO THEM. Its the proof that matters. Getting caught, Tested, and Failing the test is the proof needed, or posession. I'm POSITIVE that if it is a FALSE Fedex # given intentionally, that the MultiBillion Dollar International Shipping Company that is Fedex would be more than Happy to side with the forum poster with the ID of stealthhydrosucks, or even RonPWilkins. This Im sure will then be a Federal Case in which I would advise the defending party to settle out of court, if even possible, just for the reputation of my company and the negative effect of even being in that spotlight for the whole world to witness first hand. Down goes the sales!
Anyhow about this aggression over the phone... As a business owner, if my employees in anyway negativly effect my customers, right or wrong, you bet your going to be punished accordingly (Theres many systems in the world to monitor employees performace). I understand your rights as a person and DO NOT accept cursing, racial, volgarity, or anything derogitory to be discussed by either party. As the owner though I will say that I dont want anything to decrease sales and repeat business not even a single customer/client of any financial range $1-1M, It adds up over the lifetime of the company. Business smarts says Customer is always right!(I cant even begin to give you an honest accurate figure of how many times Ive had to swallow my own pride, yes sir, no sir yes mam, no mam, Right Away! No Problem, I Completly apologize, if I didnt know an answer I would inform them of that and insure them that I will find the one person in the company that does and get them to respond to them in a timely manner, then I would most certainly follow up MYSELF even if I passed them to the other person that was more knowledgable.)...Keeps them paying their Monthly Invoices/Statments for LIFE! (After all I didnt go from just answering phones and taking out the trash to Running several companies to Owning afew of my own for doing nothing, You do work for someone at that point and they DO depend on you to do your job. AND do it WELL to earn sales and in turn support them and thier family and also pay you your wages good or bad, which helps you support your own family and kids. Your going to let one argument lose you that client for life when he has a $ sign on his forehead equivlant to $30,000 if he spends atleast $50 a month for the 50+ yrs of his cash spending life. Weather you get that much or more or less is your marketing and Customer Service and followup.
All this said I only wish the best for everyone tied into this topic. I dont want to see a company fail or even decrease sales. Nor do I want a person/people to just have to settle and just have to "get over it" being wronged in anyway.
Yo Thought, If I was a Lawyer and he came to me... Id still take the case and inform my client to not mention anything Illegal, and say it was for some other type of plant/s, even if it really was intentionally bought for your said allegations. There are NUMBEROUS plants al over the world with the EXACT requirements to grow just as well as Cannibis if you treat and care for them the same.
You ever grown a tomato or a pumpkin in a controlled area much like a grow room. Change the water WEEKLY, New Nutes WEEKLY(PPM) I mean even trace elements, Added Co2 religously, Controlled the temp, Humidity, Airflow, pH, water chillers/Heaters, Inline UV Filters, etc? You know what you get?
