Second iPod Shuffle

They have requested that I have a DHL Pickup.

Hmm....Gratis did put me on hold for no reason...(FreeGamingSystems)

lol

Oh yeah, forgot to mention.

My younger brother opened the box and it's ripped.

Oh well, we will see what they say

and what if u say no P

Had a feeling they were going to reclaim the duplicates.

Oh well. it was good while it lasted.

Sorry to hear about being on hold... hope the hold goes off quickly.

Sounds like you're telling stories because you want to keep it (

wow, that's messed up. but if you wanted to return it anyway and dhl is going to come and get it at no expense to you, then I guess you got what you wanted lol

thats not fair... they "dont have to send you anything" so why should you send anything back?

shock

I aint sending SHITE back.

How did you hear about this? They haven't tried contacting me at all, even though I contacted them...

Dont any of you people believe in honesty...damn people i mean the other day i found a usb memory stick at the computer lab i looked at a file and found the name of the owner i looked him up in the school directory emailed him and today i gave him his memory stick...and you know what im glad i was able to help him out i feel good about it. i hope you people do the same

I see the memory stick as a different thing than the shuffle. Gratis is right upfront that they don't have to send you anything for what you do, further, they claim that what they do send you is FREE, so one or two shuffles both are proposedly "free."

Further, given the complete lack of contractual obligation of Gratis to its users, I fail to see how there's any contractual obligation for us to send it back. Its like somebody giving you a gift and then asking for it back.

I dunno, maybe I'd feel worse about it if I hadn't had them numerous times fail to give me credit for offers, lock my account 'cause some jerk a couple levels beneath me comitted fraud, or were over a month late after saying "shipped" on my gaming system.

Blaugh. i dunno. I'll think about it. Who knows, my conscience might hit me tomorrow or something.

if they want it back they can have it.

nate - you could use the shuffle as blackmail. "take me off hold and you can have your shuffle back" hehe.

I think nate was implying they put him on hold so they could get their shuffle back...

i think i was implying he could hold the shuffle until they take him off hold...

i'm not 14 i don't need you to clarify statements for me.

All right, fine...I won't take it any further...

i suppose my conscience is to heavy...and dont clarify engrdawg D i dont encourage it

Stroid I respect your feelings on the matter, if that matters at all. If you feel guilty about it at all, I really respect you for doing what you think is right.

Alright, enough sappy crap.

im done with the sappy crap ) and btw i didnt even finish shuffle yet so i havent even gotten one yet

lol. Well, it kicks ass, and I have an extra one if you're interested...

sorry, 'couldn't resist.

I think that's what he's saying too lol

I am 14, lol.

For those of you who care, this is the EXACT e-mail.

We had a shipping glitch. I would like to schedule a PU by DHL for the 2nd one if you don't mind.

Thanks,

Technically, do I have to give it back? Or is this a favor to you?

nate keep the info i edited to yourself

You don't HAVE to give back anything. It is not against the law. They can't sue you. THEY fucked up, not you. If you do send it back, do it out of the kindness of your heart, not out of fear of repercussions. They can't do anything to you. IMO, you should tell them to take you off hold and you will give them back their shuffle. FWIW.

I'm with Stroid on this one, and I also don't think it's entirely legal. Due to the lengthy provisions regarding one shipping address or household per account/product, it's pretty clear they would never intentionally ship more than one of the same product. They even state right out that no user may receive more than one product per account (section 4). Therefore, keeping a mistakenly shipped product would most probably violate the ToS.

It's also odd that folks would latch onto the "free" language, since the use of that word is merely to denote that no money is exchanged between you and the site. These things are clearly not "free" in the purest sense, since users must fulfill all of their obligations in order to be eligible in the first place. It's no different from any other contract.

I hear you Stroid! Greed that's all it is. I hope all the accounts of people who wont be honest get put on hold. I have every intention of returning my second drive when I get the necessary info from either Gratis or Efulfillment. Wouldn't you expect the same in return? What if you lost a wallet or something? Maybe they could return it to you without the money or something. Its the same principal. I can't believe all you guys.

even if gratis demands the shufles back with threat of the law being involved (wich they wont)......internet law is so flimsy and full of loopholes that nothing will ever come of it.

my opinion.......ebay them, keep them, give them as gifts, hell...do what you want with it ITS YOURS NOW
