wtf i got a free egrip on accident

[John Sullivan]

i ordered a egrip off hot shot paintball and they didnt have it in stock at the time.i emailed them and i got one in the mail the next day.just today i got ANOTHER one in the mail.it mustve been some kind of mistake.

i was wondering should i keep it?i already have to send my other in to tippmann cause the rof adjuster came off.


ps will this one have the new was board?it has a different box than my other one did just days ago.


im not sure if this is the right forum for this
feal free to move it Coenen

sell it or keep it for a backup incase you have any probs. Just hang on to it for now. Wait a while and see if they realize their mistake. If they dont contact you in a month, Id say its safe to keep it.

[TESballer]

if its in new packaging tippmann might have recalled all the older models from dealers, and hotshot gave you a newer model, but like the guy above said just wait and see

[BLIX666]

if nobody at your home signed for it...then they have no way of proving that you ever got it. i'd keep it.

[John Sullivan]

what do you mean if no one signed it?you mean when they brought it bythe mailman?the box is different than the one i got not too long ago[like a week ago]

[yakitori]

if it was sent w/ delivery confirmation or signature required, they can prove that you recieved the grip. If not, they cannot track it. Just wait a while and see if they contact you if they realized their mistake.

i say u sell it to me in about a month or so
ps:i know this guy

[John Sullivan]

i dont know if my dad is going to let me.its stupid its there fault.it shows we only bought one so it is officially free right now.

like i said my other one is screwed up and i have to send it in to tippmann so..........




ps isaac thats exactly what i was going to do if i can.sell it to you for like 75 bux

[IsaactheRetard]

sounds good to me thats about the same price i was thinking have u told ur dad that its not ur fault if u sell it
ps:i have enough money

[John Sullivan]

im nervous about talking about it.im afraid of a NO!!!im gonna try though

[IsaactheRetard]

now that i think of ur dad my idea dosent sound like it would work

[John Sullivan]

my mom made me contact hotshot and tell them what happened.i hope i get to keep it.

[yakitori]

Once the return has been accepted, you will be issued a store credit for the amount of 25.00 USD to be spent at our online store.

thats not true.im sending it back but the only deal i couldve got is a 10percent discount on the egrip.i didnt get 25 dollars:mad:

or do you mean when you receive it youll give me 25 bux.i really need the money and that would be awesome:D

[yakitori]

no dood it was a joke. :D. I dont even work for hotshot paintball.

J/k. :P

[arson51]

yahahahaha.


i dont see why your parents are trying to be so honest, im sure they bust their balls at work so their boss can, make more money, and if the accounting dept makes a mistake and sends them 2 pay checks im sure they wouldnt think twice about what to do. how would this be any diffrent.

[autto-mattick]

my opinion is to keep it.

[milkmanx91]

KEEP IT STUPID DONT BE *** ITS A FREE EGRIP WHAT THE HECK!!!

[ghilliesnipe]

:tdown: :mad2: :irked: :finger: :badboy:
I am deeply saddened that not one of you (other than the boy's mother) would tell him to be honest and contact hotshot paintball about the mistake. Would you be so lax about saying something if you got no egrip at all?

Where is rcxpaintball when we need him?

[arson51]

i think he went out of buisness and died forgotten and alone! no not really, but my post stands.

[Death_by_98]

well, i would contact them if i got a second one by mistake....but since it sound like u alrdy did this...kidna late :-P

[autto-mattick]

Its the companies own dumb fault for sending it to Mr. Sullivan in the first place.

[John Sullivan]

it actually didnt matter that i had to contact them.they called me and they hadnt even got my email yet.they called me on there own.

oh and yakitori you suck nuts.you got my hopes up.

[CountyPaintball]

Honesty is the best policy.

You'll feel better about yourself.

[John Sullivan]

yeah yeah i know.i would send it back to county ina heartbeat.yall guys are awesome!!!:D

[Cadet2005]

I personally would have contacted them because of the value of the item (correct me if I am wrong, but the E-Grip is what, $150-200? I am getting old and I haven't been paintball shopping in over a year). If it was something like an extra O-ring, I wouldn't have made a fuss, but that is a pretty hefty hit (not if you are doing thousands in business but still...) You made the right call by contacting the company, and I hope you bear it in midn in the future.

Yep, excactly. Even though "nice guys finish last" we finish with a full night's sleep.

[CountyPaintball]

As a store owner, I can say we definitely appreciate honesty in a situation like this. As mentioned above, if it was something really cheap like a squeegie, pack of o-rings, etc. then don't bother. It's not worth the return freight cost but anything that's worth a bit more we'd definitely want back.

I know if we make a mistake in the other direction, you wouldn't hesitate to let us know (and rightfully so). We have to eat too. :)

[Hmmm Donut]

Return it now! Or suffer the cruel, and horrible fate of your guilt killing you.

Azoth of hotshot paintball is a nice guy. You should alert him about this mistake. Maybe youll get lucky and hell give you some store credit for it or something.
