Mystic Stamp Company bastards!
I am not currently nor have I ever collected stamps
yet the "Mystic Stamp Company" is sending me packages of stamps telling me to pay or send them back. I told my wife to pitch them, then they send me a bill stating I never paid for stamps. Then we get a second "pay or send back package". So she sends them back telling them not to send anymore. Now they do it a third time. What is it with this place that they think they can extort money from me? Is this place a big scam company or what? I'm pretty ****ed off at them right now. I'm reporting them to the BBB right now. Is this place know for this type of behavior? |

Imagine this... right from http:/www.bbb.org "Our records indicate a pattern of complaints from consumers who report receiving unordered merchandise and problems with credit/billing procedures." |
The law allows you to keep any unordered merchandise with no obligation.
Instead of throwing them out, perhaps you could have given them to a young collector, but without Mystic's name, so that he couldn't go to them to be scammed. Tony "asdf" wrote in message link.net...

Did you contact them for a catalog or similar? Almost any contact with
them will net you 'approvals' which is what you are getting. If you didn't then someone else did in your name. After maybe 6-8 mailings from them that you return they stop sending stuff. At least they pay for the return postage unlike most places with 'approvals'. FWIW, they do have a really nice catalog!

Not knowing anything about stamps and due to the fact that Mystic Stamp Company was scamming me I assumed they were probably fake. |

Dave Hmmm, something tells me that ASDF is a TROLL & spammer. Only one post to this NG and thats a lot of trouble to go thru just to whine about one company. Would you go thru that trouble to post? Doing an advanced Google for his entire email addr shows him in boatloads of different NGs. |
Personally I have purcahsed many stamps from Mystic, probably a bit high
on price but when you live in the middle of nowhere you take what you can get. I have never had a problem of anykind with them. They were always more than helpful and took care of the wantlists that I forwarded back to them. asdf wrote: I am not currently nor have I ever collected stamps yet the "Mystic Stamp Company" is sending me packages of stamps telling me to pay or send them back.

It in no way condones their apparent behaviour in this case,
however, Mystic did once go into bat for collectors once, (and no doubt their own gains as well) when they deposited a bond of $100,000 on appeal of the USPS when they were about to destroy 5.2 million sheets of the "Legends of the west" when they apparently placed the wrong portrait of the legendary black cowboy Bill Pickett. They certainly need to be able to defend themselves, what if some person had an agenda with "asdf" and applied for the stamps on his behalf just to stir the pot? I am not aware of the outcome, whether the stamps were destroyed or not, but it was certainly hi-jinx there foor a while. |

I don't think that is the case based on what the Better Business Bureau had to say about them... "Our records indicate a pattern of complaints from consumers who report receiving unordered merchandise and problems with credit/billing procedures." The BBB also indicates that most all of the complaints are resolved, however resolving it in these cases means all they had to do was say "Ok, we won't send him any more unrequested merchandise". I am not aware of the outcome, whether the stamps were destroyed or not, but it was certainly hi-jinx there foor a while. |
