    Why is it that I can get DSL service for 1/3 of the original price, and get my modem and shipping for free, all with one simple phone call, and Gruass gets screwed by his internet company and everyone else?

          With that kind of mentality you will never get your way, people will always step on you.

            I'm afraid you're wrong. No-one ever steps on me. I will start war at the Budget desk tomorrow. I'll get my stuff back, or some sort of reimbursement.

                I doubt it will need to go that far. Make a lot of noise in the public area where people are thinking if they want to use Budget today, and that's all that will be needed.

                  I can understand you're upset at the lack of response and I would be too but you did leave the stuff there in the first place. The phone was out of credit and therefore worthless and the cd is probably $35 worth at most. Is it worth the heartache? If you're about to step onto a flight to Oz I would think a bit yelling match would be the last thing you want. 20+ hours in a long time to sit & steam

                    The CD is out of print. If they told me up front they can't do anything, that's one thing. But they have systems to deal with this, and they are all broken. They led me to believe they would help, that's the main reason I am mad.

                                    My wife travels almost every week on business...rents from Budget. Has left her portable Garmin GPS in the car twice, along with some other misc. stuff (sunglasses, etc)...she's recieved all her items back from Budget with very little hassle... Customer service is America is both good and bad, and I can easly say MY worst experiences are those from "overseas" (no need to state which country) customer service operations. Just my 2 CP worth.

                                      So, I hired a car for a week. I dropped it off and flew to Portland. On the plane I realised i left a cheap phone and a CD in the car. Went straight to Budget in Portnald and asked what to do. In the end I emailed them twice and called them twice, they wouldn't help me, they insisted I go to a recorded message service. A week later, no answer. Not one reply.

                                      I left an MP3 player on a plane and 10 mins after getting off told them about it, told them the seat and *exactly* where it was and the answer 'sorry sir, there's nothing we can do'. How about 'look for it'? sigh

                                      cheers, Chris Maunder
