This has to be said !

I have ranted here about the loss of integrity and morals in business several times over the years. So it is time for me to step up and give credit where credit is due.

last week my buyer was out of town on business (you all know who he is) and as happens with a companies with several employees, when the boss is away some of them slack up and make mistakes.

the mistake was in sorting a shipment and it was an obvious mistake. the shipment had been dumped by the time the boss returned so nothing could be reviewed.

I knew from past experience with OTHER companies (not scrap forum members)that sense the shipment had been dumped there was no chance that it could or would be rectified, except in this one case, I knew the moral integrity of this boss and his company.

I as more concerned over an employee not doing his job then the money at this point that kind of employee is a drain in several ways, and can quickly cost the company it's reputation.



With in 2 days of the bosses return the mistake was corrected on just my word, and the fact the boss was involved in the day to day operation of his company to know exactly what a normal shipment from me contains.

Thank you Mario for proving a company can have moral integrity and still be a leader in our industry. Had I the power 5 more gold stars would be added to your company.

support your scrap forum members and they will support you.

thank you sincerely

I wasn't wrong in this case. and I don't watch "reality shows" they have little to do with reality.

Good to hear. I had a similar situation that was corrected immediately as well. Good to see these guys "minding" their business and it's reputation.

You want me to contribute something to this well here is my contribution. Maybe we should consider sending a letter stating a perceived or assumed value of the goods we ship off to these buyers. Included with this statement is a a line that says if the declared value is over above or different by 10 percent of what you claim send me an email call me or let me know.

I'm not about the drama rather I'm more about actually trying to get an actual discussion going.

Mike has been a long standing customer (Several years) of ours. I have a pretty good system in place and I was able to aggressively attribute the correct breakdown on his settlement. I was willing to overpay a little then underpay to maintain this relationship and rectify the other problems that were internal aka my fault.

I lead our organization by example ,"handshakes and back slaps". This transcends from the warehouse to the office, from the top to the bottom. There is ALOT to learn from that.

I personally would like to give ewasted a "backslap" for pushing forward even in the face of adversity........Many people on this forum rely on CashForComputerScrap for most of their income (at least I do)........Not to hijack the thread but thanks again and mistakes do happen (we are all human)..........To Gangel I do appreciate a good discussion/debate but perhaps this topic was one that really didn't need much debate.........I do agree if you are having problems with your buyer weigh all material before hand, take pictures, make notes, etc........I usually know about what each box I send off is worth after doing this for a while and as long as there are not major variations it is all good.................Oh well Keep Scrappin!!

This was meant to be a totally positive thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To Gangel I do appreciate a good discussion/debate but perhaps this topic was one that really didn't need much debate.........I do agree if you are having problems with your buyer weigh all material before hand, take pictures, make notes, etc...

Or find a better buyer, one you can trust, if they say something you know it's what it was.

Gsngel you need to calm down. if he wanted you to be a devils advocate than he would have asked for somebody to give thoughts on the matter. but he did not so next time read the thread before you comment.

So many posts in here have nothing to do with the topic at hand. To bad, I am not a moderator here.

Olddude and Mario aka ewasted, good job on both your parts.
