A Question of Morality

Haha, as true as that may be, I still couldn't bring myself to just not say anything.

Side note: AWESOME website. I really should compile all my graphics/programming work into something like that...

That's when it means the most, actually. It's not really morality if you're just making a show for someone else.

I think both statements are true. :)

While on ethics, read this:

After fifty-two days of hard fighting, forty-three divisions of enemy soldiers have taken over a small town. They have been ordered to kill any civilians that they find. To avoid being caught some of the townspeople, including Richard, have hidden in the cellar of a large house. Richard is holding a baby that begins to cry loudly as a group of soldiers approach. Richard covers the child’s mouth to block the sound of the cries. If he removes his hand, the crying baby will alert the soldiers to the fact that there are people hiding in the cellar, but if he keeps his hand over the baby’s mouth, he will smother it to death. What number of people, if any, would have to be in the cellar for it to be obligatory for Richard to keep his hand over the baby’s mouth?

Be careful about returning the second one as well; just make sure that they understand it is a return to them of a screwup they made. I had one company insist on charging me a restocking fee when they did this to me. So I kept the second item because they could not understand that they sent me a second one free.

Similar type of situation happened to me. A major company sent me someone else's order by mistake. It even had the other person's name and address in the package. I contacted the company and sent it back. I never received my items. Big mess took months to clear up. Major hassle and they tried to blame me. I should have kept the wrong stuff until mine arrived.
 
Sorry to bring up an old topic but I FINALLY got an update from the company.

...

Given the amount of inconvenience and the time lag involved, how about we gift you the extra speakers?

Sounds good to me :) They said they're changing their warehouse process and I was the tipping point. Apparently in the long run I'll actually end up saving them money.

What to do with these extra speakers though? :rolleyes:
 
Or pimp out the back of a white van. Either or.

By the way, the speakers are Swans D1080MkII's and I purchased them from The Audio Insider. Great customer service...I would recommend them any day. What happened in my case was a total fluke and accident.

sweet. maybe u should sell them on ebay or just give em to ur bro.better yet, sell on the MR marketplace.
 
Those look like awesome speakers, if you don't need them just sell them, get a bit of cash :)
 
They sound phenomenal. I'm really really happy with them...someone said to try and list them on here - are they something that someone would buy?

:(

Correction; morality means everything, especially when no one is watching!

Permit a soap box stand here => What this example shows us - kudos to thread starter TheOnlyJon - is that in life you are and may be presented with many occasions where the morals and ethics you apply to a situation reflect upon you; matters little if anyone is watching...You are watching and that's what matters! Whether the issue is speakers (receipt of extra set through mailing misunderstanding) or anything else, the fact that you have have to live with the moral and ethical decisions you may make... (okay stepping down off box now)...

Excellent choice...
 
I appreciate the kind words but it was the right thing to do - honesty can be rewarding :)

And I agree - they were a great choice! Where can I try and sell them on this forum? I have no use for them. Is there a marketplace? I was looking for one to no avail. :confused:
 
And is there someplace I can check to see what my current count is so I can spam my way there[/sarcasm] :D

EDIT: Nevermind. FAQ's are magical.
 
Just ordered some Swan M10's from the same company, and my order status is currently on Backorder. From what I;ve read they have a hard time keeping them in stock.
