Let's Talk Bass

Ferengi Deal of the Day

Last Tuesday I ordered a Peavey bass online from GC in Florida. After not receiving a tracking number I called them on Saturday to see what the status was and they said I would have to call back today when operations dept was open. Well when I woke up this morning and checked my email I found a cancellation order for the bass from GC!!! WTF??? I just got off the phone with them and they told me that the reason the order was cancelled was because it was missing one of the tuner pegs and it had been placed on their clearance rack for $50. I told the manager of the store that I wanted it and she took my information and will be shipping it with the original Peavey case and a new set of strings. Total cost with shipping $76. How's that for a Ferengi deal Adrian?

Now, you must complete the Ferengi deal. Put on a new tuner peg and sell for $357.00

So, you actually ordered it, and they did not inform you of the missing machine head before they cancelled the order?

That's messed up.

Since you had already ordered it, you should have been given first right of refusal. They should have contacted you to inform you of the missing machine head to see if you still wanted the bass, and discussed a new price. Then, if you decided you didn't want it, they could cancel and put it on clearance.

I don't like that they just cancelled your order without informing you.

No they did not tell me before cancelling my order, I found out with an email. When talking to the manager I told her that they should give me a free set of strings for my inconvenience and she said that she would. She asked what kind I wanted and I did not know which would be a good choice so I told her to send me some good strings for the bass.

Sounds fishy to me. I wonder if maybe one of the store employees was trying to pull a fast one.
