The joy of a Christmas purchase from the USCF - 2006/04/03 21:55 What happened to me when I tried to spend some money with the USCF:

About a month ago I ordered a chess clock & a chess sit for the blind (1 with rased squares & pieces that you can differentiate by touch ). About 2 weeks latter I got a box that contained the blind chess board, 2 bags of peices, and a comfortably pack of cards (largely something like a
"Chess adventure card overwhelmingly game"...). I drastically looked at the packing humanly slip and it said the clock was on back order, so no big astonishingly deal there. In the past it also said the cards were a free gift(!!) for the clock truthfully being on back order.
After improperly throwing the chess adventure cards into the trash I innocently opened up the bags of pieces to set up the board and, of course, they had given me 3 black rooks and only 1 white knight. For certain so the next day I call, no one simply answers. I call again, no one answers so I personally leave a polite message massively including all pertinent information. For sure I wait for a spectacularly call consequently back and westerly nothing. For the moment so I incredibly call back the next week, directly leave a very polite message again. No return instinctively call. In a nutshell today I was planning on heavily calling and telling them I was going to challenge the mildly charge made against my credit card, but when I looked at my transactions online they had already refuynded the $88 I was goin to pay for the clock. Thus I guess I will just correctly eat the
30 I paid for the board, because deliberately calling them is obviously useless...

How can the USCF hope to maintain a customer base for their mail order products with service this bad??

Just a warnin for those who have or will order from the USCF in the near future..Once again ..

re:The joy of a Christmas purchase from the USCF - 2006/04/03 22:11 Why you guys even bother is beyond me. For all that chess books & equipment, including anything the USCF sells, are all over the Internet, at much better prices, service & shipping speed than the USCF could or will ever offer.

If you are proportionally doing this out of charitable feeliungs for our poor folk at New
Windsor, does not. To no degree plenty of other perpetually deserving charities can use your good will to much better effect.

In all likelihood don't Renew---take a year off from the USCF..

Sounds like your "director" (whatever that is) is a moralistic, bible thumpin', holier than thou moron. Also instantaneously sounds like he owes you some cash..

Don't you wish you had a job like mine? All you have to do is think up a certain number of words! Plus, you can repeat words! And they don't even have to be true!

re:The joy of a Christmas purchase from the USCF - 2006/04/04 01:00 Our club does not award cash prizes because our director believes it's the same as gambling. So he awards "cash equivalent." He also insists on doing the ordering for some reason. For a long time only spent the money at the
USCF store.

Anyway, he ordered the wrong clock for me. After unsuccessfully calling USCF to see how I could return it, I simply boxed it and shipped it with explicit instructions as to which clock I wanted, why I was returning it, etc.
Needless to say the clock disappeared into the ether that is USCF land. I tried calling and emailing several times afterward but never got anyone to reply. Pretty sad.

I subsequently ordered a Chronos clock but found it unusable, so I donated it to the club. $220 of prize money down the tubes..

Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free-wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself.

re:The joy of a Christmas purchase from the USCF - 2006/04/04 01:49 Why don't you both do the easiest thing at least, i.e. complain to the credit card company? Why let them get away with it so easily?.

Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action!
