I purchased something from Merchandise Direct and what I found underhanded was that there was no invoice inside the package. Nothing to state the amount I paid, what I ordered and especially a number to call with an issue over the defective item.

I googled the company and found this website which gave me the information I needed to call them. They have agreed to take it back and refund my money.

That was good of them ...Did you tell them there was no advice note included in the Package? Sometimes the advice note is stuck on as an address label? (I get my magazine subscription this way)
Sister gets Mail order parcels with the advice note tightly folded behind the address label in a plastic bag

I dislike the loose till reciept (in box) method if it catches a Breeze somehow when packing or unpacking its a 50/50 chance its spotted or gone?

Welcome to Answerpool by the way

Thanks, Amee. It's good to hear that we helped you.


Bedstor, you'll catch fewer breezes if you unwrap or unpack your packages inside the house.

DG
The design of our House is if there is a window open upstairs and there is a breeze somebody opens the Front door too soon
There is a tremendous Updraft "pressure" up the stairs (4 flights) and either the Window slams or the open Front or Back door Slams...and woe betide if there is anything loose such as paper it all goes up in the air (like confetti) and You cannot do nothing except hold on the door like Grim Death and "try" to shut it gently Works about 3/5 times The wired glass has several cracks from the Repeated Slamming!
Note to DG... We do most of the Parcel opening in the Hallway or on the Stairwell (small items)

Worst time of the year for it is actually now
Need a breezy Sunny day
Have some predicted for this coming weekend. (High 60's low 70's)

Instructions:
1) Close windows before opening package.
2) Open package.
3) Remove valuable paperwork; place in safe location.
4) Open windows.
5) Repeat Steps 1-4 when new package arrives.

Thanks
I'll Frame that good advice DG

Bedstor waiting for the postman.

It's a lonely job, but somebody's got to do it.


Of course, some days are worse than others for the Bedstor household.

Yes dg That's what its Like

Of course, there are advantages to living so close to the sea. Here, Bedstor enjoys a sunny, calm day in his kayak.
