    what a bastard...getting fleeced today

    Hi all.

    I am the "bastard" who wrote that letter. I am not going to spend my time here trying to justify myself. 10C and UPS have justified it by sending out their mea culpa email. So if they thought, like a couple of guys on this board think, that people like me didn't have a valid complaint, they wouldn't have sent out the email. I don't care if a couple of people on here agree with me or not. It's what 10C thinks and how they act upon the problem that matters to me. Nothing else.

    I just want to tell Mr. pdalowsky that I did not disrespect you or anybody else on this board and therefore expect to not be disrespected as well. Not agreeing with me is one thing. Calling me a bastard is another.

    But if the end result of your exposure of my letter (which, btw, was only publicly shared by me with the Portuguese Pearljammers forum) resulted in actually helping 10C and UPS to send out that mea culpa email, well... I guess I actually have to end up thanking you. I'd even pay you a pint of beer with the refund of part of the extra $127 I had to pay UPS.

    I think most people here agree with you, to a point, but a few of the comments in the letter are off base.


    They never presented it as 10c only. If it's exclusive or limited they point it out. Check the volcom shirt or the Crashious Stickman hoodie out.


    I can't really disagree with the rest of your letter, though being a slightly more informed consumer (ie. waitin a few weeks to see if it popped up elsewhere, makin sure there would be no extra import fees's) would have definitely given you several other options.

    If 10c knew about all the extra charges, then that is crappy. If they didn't know, then that is just as bad.

    Oh I see your point now.....when i said what a bastard i wasnt referrin to you, iots an english expression as to the situation i found myself in expecting to have massive charges imposed on me too. I was not for one moment calling you a bastard....my sincere apologies for the confusion there. I too have written to tne club earlier today expressing my disapproval

    Apologies accepted ;) If I did indeed misunderstand your phrase, then I also apologise. It has been a pretty intense 24 hours for me, PJ wise. And being publicly exposed here without my consent was something that I did not appreciate. But we do all share the same love after all and we are part of what is supposed to be a big happy family. Anyway, Exclusive or not, UPS or otherwise, I just want me and my fellow 10C members to be (at least partially) refunded for what was unfair costs. Charging me with an extra 30 bucks, I can accept. But $127 is... how can say I this... a bit too much :twisted:

    No hard feelings.

    DewieCox, like I originally said, I'm not going to justify myself. I wrote what I thought and I acted accordingly to what I believed was true at the time of purchase (ie that it was exclusive). Is my letter perfect? Far from it. Did it help me release the pressure and anger I felt yesterday? You bet. Did it help in getting UPS to apologize? I sure hope so. End of story. I just want to be able to finally enjoy the Super Deluxe and forget about the rest. I truly do.

    I would say your letter along with 10000000 threads had some sort of effect.

    Remember next time, unless they say it's limited or exclusive, it's probably not.


    Enjoy the HELL out the SDE. Gotta make it worth the dough somehow, right?

    Looks like UPS will earn more money on this than Pearl Jam. Crazy.

    i assure you it was a misunderstanding... i shared your post because it had a great sentiment in it and as a warning to others of what to expect in taking delivery today... again sorry for doing so without your consent

    this whole thing is a shambles, and although i'm usually the first to stick up for pj and the 10c, i cant find the backing on this one, they have let us down in my opnion. still there are always the small % who see 10c as thier best friend and not a very profitable byusiness and refuse to acknowledge them ever being in the wrong
