Order By
Mail Confusion
Customers who order by
mail often complain that
they never receive what they
order, or they receive it
months later, the mail order
company may be at fault.
The order may have been
lost or confused. Or the
company could have run out
of a piece of merchandise
and failed to notify the
customer. Sometimes
catalog companies don’t
maintain a supply of the
products they sell. Instead
they act as clearing houses
and forward orders to the
manufacturer.
But before blaming the
company, check your own
actions. Many companies
receive hundreds of orders
with no return addresses, no
payment for the mer
chandise, or no order blank
enclosed. Customers often
send checks that are made
out incorrectly. Or they send
