Or to put it another way........ if a company is niggardly paying minimum
wage to employees, they get what they pay for. I'm not the quality controll
dept at XXX parts vendor, I'm the QC at Clams Canino Marine and that's work
enough for me.

I tend to assume that they will do thier job and find the error - OR -
karma
granted me a break for having the frustration of dealing with incorrect
parts.

I have enough trouble dealing with my own errors - I let others deal with
theirs.
But I NEVER misrepresent anything to "cause" an error.

Friday Ethics Question:



I ordered parts worth over $1000 to make a trailer. When we went to pick
them up one of the parts, a brake actuator, worth about $135 was the one
we
ordered but not the right part for the job. The company agreed that
there
was no way for me to know this was the wrong part and agreed that they
should have know and advised us. They gave us a refund for the
incorrect
part and said they would ship - at their expense - the correct one.



Yesterday a package arrived with the replacement part and another item
we
had ordered. They paid the shipping, as they said they would, and they
charged us for the new item. But they did not charge us for the new
actuator.



So the basic question is: If a company sends you something and forgets
to
charge you, do you tell them? And even more telling, WHY?
