I'm an honest person!

But oh, what a mistake!



Last week I ordered from

some Quickutz items. One of the items was the Holiday Theme Kit which is a little cardmaking kit that has "Season's Greeting" in a special font, a few shapes to make trees, and a couple of other dies, iirc. I bought it for $49.99.



Today I receive my order and instead of sending me the Holiday THEME set, they sent me the Holiday GIFT set!!! What is the GIFT set? A *complete* alphabet of the new gorgeous font Snow Angel, idea booklet and a beautiful black/pink ziparound binder. It came packaged in this white box with silver lettering laced closed with an iridescent ribbon. This set costs $149. So they made a $100 mistake.



I drooled over it for a couple of minutes, then called scrapbook express right away to explain their mistake. She said that the warehouse people must have mistaken them because the names are similar, but that's an expensive mistake. I told her I hope that it didn't happen to anyone else and if so, that they would be honest about it. She agreed, but something in her voice told me that she didn't think so. People can be greedy, I guess. I'm sending it back on Monday and she's reimbursing me the shipping.



It was fun to look at it anyway, and I LOVE the binder!

Jenn, I am a firm believer in Karma...you did the right thing, even though I know it was difficult after holding the prize in your hot little hands! At least you can feel good about being honest, and I know something good will come because of it!! Arleen

I agree you definately did the right thing. Good on you for showing honesty and integrity... it shows a great strength of character!

Oh, I can imagine it wasn't easy! However, what goes around comes around, and you have made a good deposit in your karmic bank account!

Good for you!

Congrats on being so honest Jenn. I wonder how many others will just call & say they didn't recieve their kit & not even mention the gift? That's probably what she was worried about.

Way to go Jenn, you've made your momma proud!:>)

You did the right thing! Something good will come your way now when you least expect it. You have an honest spirit, we need more of those! Barb:o)

Oh Jen! That must have been really tempting! Good for you on being honest about it. I think I might have been tempted too, but in the long run I would have felt to guilty each time I used it! Who knows, maybe Santa has something up his sleeve for you!

It's good that you were honest. Though I know it would have been nice if the company had said, "our mistake, keep it with our compliaments". You did the right thing though!

Don't think what you did wasn't noticed and won't be rewarded. It has and it will be.

I'm an honest person, too, but I can tell you we are few and far between.

I'm like you Jenn I couldn't have enjoyed something that wasn't rightfully mine. I applaud your honesty. I tell my kids it isn't always easy to do the right thing, but that feeling you get inside once you've done it is worth a million bucks.

Good for you Jenn! You will be rewarded in other ways. So nice to hear there are still some people out there with integrity!

Hugs, Sabrina

Thanks everyone! I have to say, it was hard to see the set go in the mail today, but I took one last look and said goodbye! :)

Scrapbookexpress was very quick getting the correct order out to me. I received my product on Saturday along with a Paper Bliss mitten embellishment as a thanks for being honest.
