the mommy (User) Pink Truth Rookie Posts: 11	product replacement….too good to be true?? 4 Days ago Karma: 1 I’ve used the product replacement service a couple of times with no problems. I just entered the info re the old product, and ordered what product I wanted to replace it. It was really easy, and I’m wondering if there is any down side to using it. I ask b/c it seems too easy and RIGHT for MK to offer it. Any thoughts or negative experiences?

I never had any problems. I found out that you can’t return more than four items at a time without having to call in and let them “allow” you to do so. Other than that I did it every couple of weeks and was never questioned except once.My guess is that if too many people take advantage of it they may change it because it because it doesn’t make MK any money.

Yeah, I feel sure that there is a point where MK would/will pull the plug on this. Every couple of weeks is more than I would have thought to be safe, so COOL! I will be taking advantage for sure!

I picked on my mom a lot as someone who returned product, that was always the hard part for me, deciding who needed to “return” something.

ContourTHIS (User) Pink Truth Regular Posts: 53	Re:product replacement….too good to be true?? 3 Days, 2 Hours ago Karma: 3 There was a comment a while back from someone on this… let me see if I can get it right. She got questioned about a replacement order for herself, and was told by the MK rep on the phone the she (the IBC) was not a customer. The rep indicated MK would replace for anyone other than the IBC, to which the IBC asked well, what if it was my dog? And the MK rep laughingly said she thought that would work.My cat has become a HUGE fan of MK… but she’s very picky and returns a lot of product, especially outdated stuff that is off-odor or too thick

Actually you CAN return more than 4 things without having to call them first. I just did a product return for 7 items - 2 different customers - and it didn’t even blink at me while entering them. $234 worth.

There it is. If you want to "cheat" and see what other people have said about this topic, you can see it on "duh's" site here *disclaimer, there may be "offensive language" on this site*

Now in addition to commenting on this particular situation, I want to hear how you resolve "grey" areas in your life and your business. Do you find ways to justify actions that you feel or believe are wrong, but wish were right? Is something REALLY wrong if everyone you know says it is right?
