TC order surprise

[Skeat5353]

I ordered an Ashton VSG sampler from Thompson last year. I'd never used them before. During checkout the site asked me to join some monthly promotional thing. I declined. A week later I got a phone call asking if I was "Ready to receive a sampler as part of their monthly deal program." I said no, thank you. Then I started checking my monthly banking statements to see that I was getting a $15 dollar charge each month from some tobacco company. It turns out it was Thompson Cigar Co. They had ignored my wishes and signed me up for some monthly sampler deal I had no interest in joining, AFTER I HAD REPEATEDLY DECLINED THEIR OFFER. I was f-ing furious. I called them. Got the run-around from some cunt who gave me the typical BS. Couldn't refund my money, must have misunderstood, etc., etc...I cursed her out and asked to speak to her supervisor. Same bullshit. I told him Thompson was an f-ing scam, that he was an f-ing scumbag, and that if we ever crossed paths I would break his f-legs. I told them to remove all my information from their database. Canceled my debit card. And I will NEVER ORDER FROM THOSE F-ING BASTARDS AGAIN.

No matter what, thompsons gets you. I've never ordered from them, in fact, I've never even been on their website but i still get 1-2 catalogues a month.

"My dear, would you mind awfully allowing me to converse with your superior?"
"My good Sir, I must insist that your company employs questionable practices in the purveyance of aforementioned tobacco combustibles."
"Furthermore, I put it to you that your own airs, graces and foibles conspire to betray a lack of personal integrity."
"Should we ever happen upon occasion to be co-located, I fear I shall take it upon my countenance to enact an impulse capable of shearing in twain thy tibula and fibula of both lower appendages."
"I emplore you to disregard all records pertaining to myself. Good day."

LOLOLOL!!! That's what it felt like!!! Word to wise, if you order from them, make sure you make sure not to sign up for their shipping promotion.

I still get them, even though I've requested to be removed from their mailing list. But on the bright side, I use one less roll of toilet paper a month.

I equate them to ArtVan. Walking in the door of that place is akin to throwing rocks at a hornets nest. You're swarmed with high pressure salesmen the minute you enter. Plus everything is marked up 200% *BUT* if you BUY IT TODAY and ONLY TODAY we'll drop the price to slightly less than you can get it someplace else!!!

Consequently I don't go in that place either.

I bought a humidor from them as they had the best price on the one I wanted.

When the first catalog came in the mail I called and asked to be taken off their mailing list. Never heard from them again.

Whew! Glad I never ordered any cigars from them. I feel like I dodged a bullet!

Wow, talk about a trip in the Wayback Machine. I remember those, "Get 25 albums for $.01!" but then you got signed up for a 2 year album of the month deal. Nice analogy!
