I've reported some of your posts as being very trollish, and personally attacking/ being abusive of other TBers. I'm sure you'll have something to say in response, I could probably care less if I really thought about it.
Here's the thing...I agree you got a raw deal, and have a right to be pi$$3d. When you carry on like a prat, I stop caring. When you get personal and insulting of others (intended or otherwise), enough.
To paraphrase a wise mod I knew once, Play nice, or T.Y.S.A.G.T.F.O
Respectfully yours

[edit] looks like I was in here right when some mods were also. so now I depart, and we return to our regularly scheduled broadcast.......
To the OP, I agree that GC could have sent out a shipping label for your amp.
My personal dealings with the Cleveland GCs have been fine.
Sorry you had an issue.

Cool to see this type of stuff, love when customer service people can represent themselves on here. I think problems are done by poor employees not corporate
I had a similar experience when I bought my Little Mark III. Charged full price. No box or papers. The most disturbing part was that they had three of them in a stack and out of the box on the showroom floor.
In their defense, it did look new. But it's kind of suspicious that they also told me there were no papers or manual for it when they have three of them there.
It's not just GC either. Whenever I buy a bass anywhere I always ask if it comes with a truss rod wrench and the sales person always looks at me like I'm crazy. If it didn't come with one they should throw one in with the sale imo.

This would not do it for me, it looks like a form letter, the only thing that addresses the situation is the word "amp". It does not address the customers time, inconvenience or money spent returning the amp or why they would not send a return label. The note even tries to make another sale. GC, like most big companies, have very poor customer service.
sorry dude but I posted that from GC CS guy. They did not represent here. I did it for them.

I am sorry. I took your dismissive comment personally. It hurt my feelings that someone that I admire on this forum would drop a line on me like that. I have looked up to you here. In some twisted way I was trying to protected myself and the image I have of you as being a Good Guy. I guess I had yet to fully wake up this morning and was a little more vulnerable than usual.
I would like to apologize.
I Apologize for any and all transgression I perpetrated on you whether real or perceived.
Please forgive me and give me a second chance. I promise i am not a victim playing fool.

Lol, Nevermind then, that just sucks. Normal generic apology. It's sad, I do a lot of business at my music stores, the local ones want your business more and gc has a lot of people coming in and out so they don't care if they lose a few
Happy about that. Nothing personal, just trying to keep things civil.
Thanks, I get that a lot, must mean I have good taste (or, everyone else has exceeding taste, and I'm the trendsetter)
And good day to you as well.
BTW, I only stopped by to say that I was flagging other's posts as well as yours. Didn't want to start a friendship on the wrong foot, after re-reading my post. It might have seemed as if I had singled your replies out of the thread and flagged yours alone. I assure you, there were others here my reply was directed toward
(for those late-comers, play nice or TYSAGTFO was directed at all posted replies, not just OPs)

PS * for those that asked, TYSAGTFO = Take Your S*** And Get The F*** Out
That-guy
I do like your sense of fairness and justice but I did not ask for the Fist of Norris on my thread. Trust Me when I say I can take care of this myself. Maybe you are the one who needs to gather your toys and go if you cannot play nice. I would love it though if you decide to stay.

Don't read too much into the avatar. That is me poking fun at some infomercials that air over here (totalgym and some others) that used to have the tagline "Chuck Norris Approved" Nothing intended in a violent way or directed to any particular person.
I have no doubt you can handle this, and all is good between me and you.
You got a raw deal, and reacted here as many other's would have.
The only issue in this thread was some trolling back and forth, with some personal and taboo comments.
you're good as far as I'm concerned. And I always play nice.
T_G
We are cool and sorry if I acted as if you where just playing the Norris Texas Ranger roll. I do live in Texas and in the middle of some contact with Texas Rangers law enforcement, in a positive way.

Have yet to meet Chuck. But if I ever do I will give him your love of his infomercials.
