Holy cow! I had to send my wonderful notebook computer to a service depot some time ago. Unfortunately, I was so eager that I didn't read the directions for shipping very well. I sent the notebook by USPS (which got there just fine, thank you). They repaired the system (sort of), and sent it back by FedEx. I got the system, and wondered who paid for it. Well, I found out. I got a bill. I paid the $103 dollars, and Sun paid me back.

A few days after I sent the payment, I got an update on the invoice. I figued it had been two ships passed in the night, so I let it go. A month later, I received an update that I had missed the payment. So? I called FedEx and asked about the issue. After a bit of communication, the customer service rep gave me the good news. We've credited you the amount of the second bill. Of course, I was concerned that the second bill was $30 less than the original bill. She informed me that that bill was probably part of the shipping bill. Well, I sent the product by USPS, and I had the feeling she felt that she was doing me a favor. Fine. It was going to be more of a problem to fight the issue for $30. I wanted to fight the $30, but felt it was better to just let it go.

Guess what I found in the mailbox today? A collection agency asking for the money that I "owed" to FedEx. Can you imagine the bad day that someone is going to have today? I assure you it won't be me... I'm trying hard to clean up my credit report from bad credit resulting from ex-wives. This will be cleared up quickly...
