For lack of a better title, that's call I could think of.
I will admit this is partially my fault.
A couple of days ago, I purchased a Dish receiver to resell on eBay. I see a lot of used receivers on eBay, so I bought it for $30, it is worth around $100.
It was at a house sale auction. They sold the house, and then the personal property. The couple that owned it, the man passed away, and the wife was the last out of the family alive.
I figure since they moved out of the house, they would of cancelled the programming, since they had not live there for a couple years.
So I assumed (my fault), that it was clear to resell.
Today I call dish and give them the R00# and they said there is a $654 balance owed on it. (Dunno how on earth they could of racked up that much).
Dish wants the receiver back.
Now I can understand that dish did not want to credit me $30 for my loss, and that's OK with me. It's not dish's fault that I bought a "balance owed" receiver.
Get this, dish wants me to return the receiver to them. They said they would pay for return shipping, but I would (get this) have to buy a box, packing material, and tape, to box it up and send it to them.
So not only am I out $30, they wanted ME to buy a box, and packing material, and tape (about $5.) and send it back.
So I asked if maybe they would hook me up with HBO or Cinemax free for 3 months (about $12-$13).
I figure if I have to spend time and money boxing it up, they should at least compensate me somehow, right?
Nope, even after speaking to loyalty, they won't do anything for me.
So hence the title of this thread. Not only did I just loose 30 dollars, they wanted me to spend time and money shipping it back to them.
Well guess what? Unless dish offers me something (hell a $5 ala-carte channel would suffice), I'm going to keep the receiver in my closet.
