Can we send one each (radio and fridge) over to my house?? I'll give ya 270 points for them. -----Original Message----- On Behalf Of Paul SNIPS, Not to say that all their items were cheap. One time, due to a programming bug, a Bose radio was mailed to an address in U-City. The address was valid, but it was to Lois Lane, obviously a test account in the system that slipped through to production. I warned Maritz that it had happened, but they ignored me. A few days later they were in a panic and wanted to go to that address and ask for the item back! As luck would have it, a Fed Ex driver noticed the name Lois Lane and questioned the delivery before they received it. I also heard of a story where someone ordered a refridgerator using a point-redemption web site and erroneously got two for the price of one! (I've got other stories like that!)
