As most of you know I have a small business. Because it's still small I have to be careful about every dollar I spend on business expenses. So when I accidently ordered three packages of Hewlett-Packard photo paper (from hp.com) with 25 sheets in each package when I meant to order the 50 sheets-per-package size (because the cost-per-sheet is lower), I immediately re-ordered the correct size, and then called HP customer service to arrange to return the first order.
Before I even tell you what happened today let me just mention that shipping for paper, ink, and many other essentials from HP is FREE, even for NEXT DAY DELIVERY. That's awesome. AND if you need to return something, you simply call and get a return number, print the return tag they provide, tape the box back up, attach the return tag to the box, and drop it off at the nearest FedEx pick-up point. AND the return tag includes postage! So returning items is not only easy, it's also FREE. Shipping charges add up so free shipping is always much appreciated. The last time I had to return something to HP my Paypal account was credited before I even took the package to FedEx. I love that.
Back to today. I telephoned the customer service department to get the return number and link to print out the return label. Can you believe it, the guy said, I'm refunding your account but you can just keep the paper.
Huh??? "Keep it??" I thought I'd heard him wrong.
He laughed, and said "I can do that, and I'm doing it right now. Consider it a small gift from HP."
Wow. Sure, it's only a little over $40.00; a drop in the bucket for HP, but it's a lot to me.
And did I mention I LOVE my HP photo printer?

Isn't it great to know there are people at companies who still really care? Makes up for all those dopes that don't give a darn when you have a problem with something, and renews your faith in mankind! Love, Mom
Well you lucky soul, you! Shoot, why don't I have days like that? Hmmm, maybe because I have an Epson!
