WARRNING - RANT AHEAD
I'm a little p*ssed at the MC group right now. I got my Arctic Adventurer outfit on Friday for this years "free" 12 inch figure. The figure is not in yet from China but they mailed the outfit. That's fine. here's my beef. The outfit costs $20.00 plus $7.00 shipping. I phoned into order it and they said "Oh, Canada? That's an extra $5.00". Fine, whatever, I enjoy last years figure, must be worth it I'm thinking. So now I've paid 20.00 for the outfit and $13.00 for shipping (all prices in USD). The outfit arrives in a padded envelope and what's the stamp say? Cost them something like $1.15 or something like that. Can't remember the exact price but it's at home on my dresser. I expect this kind of crap from ebay but when I pay $57.00 (USD) a year for membership and last month I got the March newsletter, not April and when I called to ask for it I was told "Oh, we only printer so many. We don't have any more. Why don't you download it?" Man, I asked when I renewed this past year if I could save some money and not get the news letter mailed to me and just download it but no, that wasn't an option. I finally convinced them to give me an extra months credit on my account, so I have 13 months, not 12 due to their error.
I'm thinking off calling them out on the shipping thing. They basically made some $11.xx (USD) for nothing. Again, I expect this from ebay but not from a club that I spend good money on every year to be a member. I could understand making a buck or two, but eleven dollars? Total crap. Imagine if I tried to ship something to one of you guys and marked up the shipping like that. I would be outed for that, and rightfully so.
So the question is do I want to make this complaint a public form complaint on their message board or take it to private email? Do you guys think I'm right on this?
