Man, life is just too short for this shit.

Accept your refund and get on with your life without your stupid goddamn topper.

Please.

Sadly, I have a feeling the refund is not going to help this consumer feel any less "ripped off" by a company. It's not about the refund, it's about a stupid hunk of shitty plastic that HE WANTS NOW NOW NOW NOW

Regardless, all it took was one stupid, unneccessary thread and about 15 screen shots when a simple phone call probably would have sufficed, but the refund he doesn't want is now going to be expedited. It's a good thing too, because I'm sure all the other distributors are going to be super eager to fulfill that topper order for him now.

Vaya con dios, brave topper consumer! May your courageous efforts result in winning the tacky topper of your dreams, and failing that, at least an endorphin-releasing conversation with the manager of toppers!

You really never thought to call these guys before you went "full Karen" on them? Do you understand that these pinball vendors are all small businesses trying to stay afloat during difficult times, not Wal-Mart with a million people working for them and Indian call centers eager and willing to respond to every salty email within a 12 hour time window?

Once you receive your refund, will you still feel ripped off by a company? Any chance you'll change the thread title?

It appears you got what you wanted - the opportunity to embarrass a reputable company, the endorphin rush of an expose thread, and your refund, so you should be pleased, not feel ripped off.

There is no “fee” you could pay me to make it worth “handling” a customer like yourself. Unlike some of these folks I don’t depend on my business to pay the rent or feed my family and it’s just not worth the trouble dealing with some people just to make a few bucks. I do feel bad for the people who really have no choice, as it’s a full time job and dealing with this nonsense is part of the cost of doing business.

Good luck with your topper. I’m sure you will have vendors bending over backwards to help you out now that the entire community is familiar with your patience and understanding, and the reasonable way you deal with any hiccups during a transaction.

So long story short, I was obviously right about this guy from the start.

You folks should listen to me more often.

Ashburn...Virginia....

Dan Snyder, is that you?!

I kid, I kid. That really WOULD be making it personal.
