It was all good until somebody got gypped! Fellow TF-ers, Should I be upset or not? Options

Everything else was okay, except the following:

This is what I should have gotten.



And this is what I got. No pre-warnings whatsoever about the substitutions in advance.



Fellow TF-ers, what do you say?
Should I forgive and forget and just let it be?
Or should I continue to be upset?

I know that holding onto grudges are bad for you.
So I'll just have to forgive then.

But really, it wasn't nice of TF to be playing
mind games like this. Shame on you, TF!

Please communicate next time of your outages.
Don't just stick it in and run! Geez, TF!

haisnguyen,

Have you opened a helpdesk ticket about this? The King will make it right with you, it just appears to be a packing problem, I can almost assure you. Please dont just start ranting all over until you try the help desk, that will make this site like the rest, with Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad posts all over it without trying to resolve it through the helpdesk FIRST.

I agree with eagle-eye...way to early to complain or hate. Try the helpdesk, they will make it right. Also, have patience and stay on the helpdesk if you don't get a timely response.
We love the Fling!!

It ain't that bad of a rant! Wink I had humor in it with the other
retailers going off to the side and not showing their faces.

I don't think it's necessary to use the "Helpdesk" this time
around. If TF has to keep on fixing orders like this, prices
will climb and it will hurt all of us in the long run. Either
way, I still got a deal. I'll take this one for the team. Wink

This rant was meant for entertainment purposes only.

It's not evil in any way. I hope you all know that!

Thanks for looking out, eagle-eye & Nub015.

Well now that you posted this flashy comment, I'm sure you'll be hearing something.
"First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then flingest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

Laughing It's not a tongue scraper, though. It's a toothpick thing-a-majig! I wouldn't be as disappointed if it was 6 tongue scrapers to substitute for the breathspray. But those toothpick thing-a-majig's, those babies are useless! They don't really work. I've tried them before and was also diappointed when I purchased them at a Wal-Mart. So to see them again sparks a repeat in history, a repeat in disappointment.

I do not mean to be a distraction to this community.

Please skip my thread to those of you that don't like reading them.

We're all different. That's what makes us special. In this day and age, it's important to communicate. Not just with the people above us (i.e., the helpdesk), but people around us (i.e., fellow TF-ers.) We're social creatures! To keep things bottled up would only lead to craziness.

Sometimes rants are good. It's not like I'm pointing fingers at any particular member. Let's say this was a family and we are siblings. I don't see how it's wrong for us siblings to talk about the parents when they're not around, right?

Well, in this case, Thingfling is the parent.

Just "lend me your ears," as that one famous person once said. I believe it was Julius Caesar that said that.

We're all in the same boat here. So please stick up for your fellow TF-ers. I'm not a bad person. I have no intentions of being one.

I'll tone it down some. I'll ground myself from posting for a week if that helps. Alright, punishment begins now!

We've all tried this to no avail. Speak to the hand He'll be back before the week is up. And just like any good siblings, we'll tell the parental figures that he broke the grounding rule, just to get him in more troubleLaughing

Geez Haisnguyen! I hope the damage isn't already done.
Man....did you have to start a thread like that with a title that so many are going to notice?!! Whether you meant it in fun or not it's a negative post.
New Thingflingers are going to look and see that you joined in January......so they'll figure that if you are unhappy, there must be a problem. Why even do that to thingfling that I'm sure has been great to you?! You should've given them a chance to resolve the issue before writing such a bad review.

I've saved a ton of money through the Fling, shucks just on shipping alone! They have great, great prices and are improving everyday with the delivery time.

Hope everyone joins in with positive feedback...we love Thingfling!

I thought your post was very interesting and don't see why so many thought it was a bad idea??? Maybe you should have used the help desk, but I also don't see why someone would fill an order improperly for you. Don't sell more than you've got!

Is there a rule on the forum about posting negative or unsatified results from a purchase?

And it sounds like MANY people complain about the help desk, so let the squeaky wheel get it's grease (or dental hygeine products)Pray

After taking the emphasis off of the initial issue, We should expect to receive what is advertised.
I didn't see anything about TF substituting product in
the description. I would be disappointed if it would have
been me... But I brush my teeth regularly and have natural
minty-fresh breath.

I do need help in other odor producing areas Laughing

Too all doubters:

I am a man of my words and now I'm back.
But I am also gone for good.

The gypping actually continues.

I got my "children" mystery box. The contents inside were so gross & dirty with DUST build-up, the one where you brush it off and can smell it. It looks like old & discontinued stuff that's been sitting in inventory forever.

The $50 power tool item that was promise as an item that TF had never sold before turns out to be a "Roadside Emergency" Kit and the "PowerSmith: Cordless Screwdriver." Both have been sold here. Thingfling--LIED--yet again. This is becoming more like scam than a deal.

I bought two of the RCA Remotes with the LCD Screen. I did not even get those. I got two of the older RCU800B Models, which are not the items that I have ordered.

And another issue is one of my order got removed from my list of flings. My credit card have already been charged, but no Wilson Notebooks yet. I guess we can rename it the "6 Wilson Notebooks" disappearing trick.

I am really disappointed with Thingfling's integrity. Somebody is not doing their jobs properly or intentionally scamming me.

I am done flinging forever.

TF's low level of integrity is finally revealed and I understand now what kind of business these guys are running.

I want my $14.55 refund. No items were shipped and my order even magically disappeared from the list.

It was fun flinging, but now it's to the level where their services are just dropping lower and lower. Some people are just lucky, some people aren't. I wonder if their treatment of me is a retaliation to this thread.

Whatever it is, it matters less to me now.

I had my fun here and I wish you all the best.
This flinger is no longer flinging.
Good luck to all that stumbles across my name.
