			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I ordered 8 CDs from BMG a couple weeks ago.. got them last week sometime.. then about a day later I got one more. I was like &#8220;wtf, I got everything I ordered..&#8221; so I opened it. It was (surprise surprise) something I <strong>didn&#8217;t</strong> order. So I hopped on their website and sent customer service a quick note saying &#8220;I didn&#8217;t order this, don&#8217;t want it&#8221;. This is what they replied:</p>
<blockquote><p> We received your inquiry regarding D1683051 DON&#8217;T YOU FAKE IT.<br />
We sent this product when we did not receive a reply to your<br />
Featured Selection by the due date. The current Featured Selection<br />
is offered in each of your regular Club mailings.  We send this selection<br />
to you automatically if we do not receive your reply by the due date<br />
specified.  Anytime you don&#8217;t want to receive the Featured Selection,<br />
please let us know by returning your Reply Card or responding online.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, we are unable to stop the shipment.  The order has<br />
already been processed and is on its way to you now.  Please return the<br />
shipment as soon as possible, if you do not wish to keep it.</p>
<p>If you leave the package unopened and write &#8220;Refused &#8211; Return To<br />
Sender&#8221; across the front, the shipment will be returned at our expense.</p>
<p>To ensure proper credit to your account, please write your account<br />
number, name and address in the upper left corner of the package.</p>
<p>If the package has been opened, you may return any unopened CDs to us<br />
at the address below.</p>
<p>BMG Music Service<br />
P.O. BOX 19004<br />
Greenville, SC  29698-9004</p>
<p>Thanks for shopping at BMG Music Service.</p>
<p>Your Friends at</p>
<p>BMG Music Service</p></blockquote>
<p>Here is what I wanted to reply:</p>
<blockquote><p> The reason I sent this inquiry is because I already received<br />
and opened the package. I thought perhaps it was one that was<br />
late on my most recent website order, so I opened it to find that<br />
I did not order it.I looked through all of my most recent emails<br />
from BMG and finally found the messages that told me this was<br />
my &#8220;Featured Selection&#8221; &#8211; the subject line of the first email is so<br />
long the words &#8220;Featured Selection&#8221; were cut off the end, and I<br />
ignored it thinking it wasn&#8217;t important. Please let your newsletter<br />
writers know that these words really need to be at the beginning<br />
of the subject line to prevent oopses like this in the future.</p>
<p>This is way too long -</p>
<p>&#8220;Erin &#8211; You&#8217;re missing out: Get Unlimited $6.99 CDs, Plus FREE<br />
Shipping &amp; Handling when you buy 4 or more CDs for a<br />
limited time! Plus donâ€™t miss your new Featured Selection&#8221;</p>
<p>The followup email subject line only said this:</p>
<p>&#8220;Last Chance: 2 FREE CDs are waiting for you! Reply by<br />
April 11, 2007.&#8221;<br />
From BMG&#8217;s FAQ regarding returns:</p>
<p>&#8220;If the package is opened, please drop us a note or email us, and<br />
we will forward you a return shipping label if you wish.&#8221;</p>
<p>Please send me a label so that I can send this back. The CD is still<br />
wrapped in plastic.</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
<p>~ Erin Ammons</p></blockquote>
<p>But instead I wussed out and removed the part about the crappy email newsletter writing and just asked them to send me a label. *sigh*</p>
<p>Addendum: I really shouldn&#8217;t write when its so late. I saved this as a draft and forgot to publish it until today (5-11-07).</p>
