Yeah, sure. I have a cooker with cracks, loose tiles, and rusty stainless that laughs at me every time I read about your assurances and guarantees! |

Just because we don't want anyone to miss out on the follow up posts. Now they point out the fine print to their money backed satisfaction guarantee.

Am I to understand that if you buy the $15.00 sample and do not like it, you will refund the $15.00? Do they have to pay the $8.00 flat rate to send the box back?

Karikamado,
Our eBay listing states our RETURN policy (as copied below)
"Returns: Seller accepts returns.
30 Days Money Back"
The purchase one box sample has a distinct possibility of your loosing the $8.99 USPS Flat Rate cost for shipping the return.
Your total loss, unless you return the box to our warehouse, would be $6.04 (14.99 less your return shipping cost of $8.95).
With this looming gamble, we would suggest you NOT purchase a sample box of charcoal.

It might be a good idea to mention in the ad the fact that the buyer is responsible for paying shipping in order to get a refund. Also ambiguous is whether or not you have to return the entire sample. I would assume that since this is a sample for you to try, you should be able to burn some of it as a part of trying it. So, how much do you have to return? (I'm just being curious here. I agree that the deal isn't quite as risky as say, buying Enron stock, lol!)
Thanks,
Bill Norton (Surfside)

Thank you Surfside, very good points. We will be sure to include in future eBay listings the following:
1. Purchaser is responsible for return shipping costs.
2. Extept for 3 or 4 briquettes that can be used for testing purposes, remaiing briquettes must be returned.
Actually Bill, it only take one briquette to test the quality, moisture content, hardness and carbon content (harmful volitiles or smoke).
Thank you,
Laura |
