Really, it's not about money... fortunately, I don't have to worry about $250, nor do I desire to swindle them out of it. It's just the principle.
At that point... I am not sure what they can do... I guess they can try to go the legal way. Not that it would be worth it, but maybe they will take it as a matter of principle, just the way I am now. If that ever happens, I will make sure to post an update here  |
I'm just going by my prevous experiences when trying to get Readers Digest to take back unwanted books they have sent me in the past. (several years ago now...)
I dont have to waste any time ort money arranging the return of the unwanted books, but legally they are not mine no matter how long I have them, and dont have any right to to dispose of them.
From what I remember when investigating what I needed to do, is ignore any and all demands from the company to pay for the unwanted items, write to them ONCE stating I did not ask for, need, or want the unwanted items and that they needed to make prepaid arrangements for me to returm the unwanted items, and give them a reasonable time to do that. I seem to remeber six months was an acceptable timeframe I had to follow.
If the didn't provide that solution, then I needed to send them one more letter giving them one more month to arrange the return of the unwanted items otherwise they would be disposed of to cover my costs including my time.
I had to do this 3 times for unwanted books sent by Readers Digest, and after that I always recieved prepaid packaging to return any unwanted books.
I would have hung on to the ereader, kept the packaging, not used it, and written to them advising them I had recieved it in error and they needed to make arrangements to have it returned.
