I am a customer. I paid up front. I then found out that the 'program' will cost 15 dollars per transaction for 'priority' mail (when e-mail is nearly instantaneous) or 'two weeks' per transaction using 'standard' mail.
I wanted to end the deal and the lady on the phone informed me of a charge for opting out early (rather than going though the whole program to be credited with 'the money back guarantee') where that charge amounts to some 200 units of purchasing power.
So…this e-mail is to inform anyone who actually cares that this customer is choosing to continue the program despite the unacceptable expense (either time or purchasing power) simply because the third option (200 dollars on top of the already wasted time and energy) is even worse than the long drawn out snail mail exchange as if waiting on the Pony Express. What century is this?
If I could plaster my experience on your web page I would – you know that don’t you?
I won’t call. I have e-mail. This way I won’t get all worked up on the phone.
So…this is as ‘official’ as it is going to get from me.
I spend 800 or so units of purchasing power to purchase a link between professional writers and my poor excuse for a professional writer.
I had these grand visions of submitting my work to someone able and willing to offer accurate advice on how to improve my writing to, perhaps, a level reaching toward something similar to SKILL.
It has been nearly a month since ‘payment’ and now. I have yet to have my first assignment ‘judged’.
Snail Mail is preferred?
My choices are:
1. Continue with the lesson and transfer the data vial ‘Standard’ mail at a cost in time of weeks between exchanges
2. Pay the ‘Priority’ mail price of 15 dollars per transaction
3. End the charade now at the cost of 200 dollars (a 200 dollar lesson learned no doubt)
4. Plan B
My idea of plan B is to transfer the data via the internet. For those who have yet to wake up in MODERN TIMES there is this method of transferring data cheaply, accurately, and almost instantaneously. It is quite remarkable.
