Does applicable law which controls this transaction?

There's not a contract as in a signed one, but in this case there is a contract under the UCC.  This is especially true since both the parties are merchants who have a good deal of knowledge on the subject at hand, however since the merchant selling the books made a counter offer (the change in shipping price) the buyer must accept the counter offer for it to become binding.  ie If they don't wish to pay $6/bk for shipping they must not take the books, otherwise they are consenting to the counter-offer.

I have looked into this since we had received a letter for my son and I didn't find anything on the Publisher. I had heard of the Who's Who in American High Schools but not this. A librarian at Kansas State found a scam that was going on with Who's Who MS and the letter I received and the scam both came from addresses in Georgia. I'd say steer clear!

Wrong ISBN.  \n\nTry the book comparison price search:

Your price is to high. This same book is for sale on eBay's sister site - Half.com for $0.75 cents + $3.25 to ship. Simple economics - $4 bucks is a lot cheaper than the $9 you're trying to get.

Having worked in a strict environment, the store I worked, had a special stock rack in storage.  When there were enough of a similar item, it was repackaged and sent back to the manufacturer, for either a replacement or a refund.  That is why you see a lot of RA #'s (Return Authorization Numbers) on a lot of packages shipped through UPS and Federal Express.  No store that has good ethics will resell a product, that is even in suspect condition, they will always send it back....

it is a way to make money off of you. They really do print the books and charge you though to it isnt a scam.\n\nThey post it for others to read so I like it.\n\nGood Luck and God Bless!!

many companies have gotten into this "Dropped" or "leave Behind" method of delivering packages or mail.  it is usually not something important since the sender did not ask for your signature.  U.S.P.S.,UPS and FedEX are notoriously BAD at doing this anymore, esp. as labor and gas prices go up.  DHL and Courier Services will usually make you sign for something. today there is so much petty/ grand theft from apartment, even at your own home, mailboxes you should never let anything valuable be "left behind" I have lost too many books and other things from shippers and yet was still reguired to pay for it.  since you are usually paying for shipping, tell the shipper you want the package to be signed for by you and you won't lose out, ever again.

Hi Amy, not sure what the previous post was about, but it was clearly uncalled for.\n\nAs a lawyer who has seen the movie (albeit a while back) I am sure there are many issues you could raise.  This is all just sort of stream of consciousness off the top of my head, so I apologize if it's not too organized, but here are a few thoughts.\n\n1)  It seems to me that much of the protagonist's (I've forgotten his name) actions are designed at misleading others.  If he does this for his own material gain he may be comitting fraud (for example, doesn't he mislead the former Marlboro man into accepting a cash settlement of some sort-?--that could be a fraudulent inducement into a contract).\n2)You also might want to look into whether or not there are any applicable lobbying laws he violates.\n3)  Are there laws against "pushing"cigarettes to minors (I'm thinking of the little classroom lecture he gives) or something similar.\n\nThe best way to do legal research for applicable cases or statutes is using lexis nexis or Westlaw.  To the unitiated these databases can be daunting, but if you are at a large university you may be able to get access at the law library.  Failing that, you might want to go to a local law library and ask the librarian for help (call ahead and explain the situation to clear access ahead of time).  Yet another option is to check out www.findlaw.com, which generally provides access to cases and articles free of charge, but is no where near as sophisticated as Lexis or Westlaw.  Finally, you might call your state bar association's relevant sub group or a Washington Lobbying or ethics organization (I do not know but suspect there are several) and see if they have any suggestions.  Research is about getting your hands dirty and hitting dead ends until something clicks into place.  Good luck!

Are they legitmate charges to your clients? Were the clients billed?\n\nRemember there is lag time , look at your statements\nwhen you make a purchase, sometimes it doesnt show that it was processed until the next day, for several ones.\n\nOne of them is that the merchant forgot to batch out.\n\nDo you even know your only company policy?\n\nWhat didyou say to him or her when she submitted the receipts to your accountant?\n\nOr are you an employee looking for a way to get her fired or in trouble?\n\nWhy doesn't your company audit these transactions?\n\nWhy did your company accept the charges?

I am a business librarian and I checked several business databases and did not see this company listed.\n\nTherefore, it is highly unlikely that this is a valid, legal business or company.

I sell all my old books on Amazon and it's very easy to do.  You set the price yourself but you have to be prepared to parcel them up and send them.  Don't sell very heavy books like dictionaries because they set one fee for postage and it's not enough for heavy books.

The asking questions to the server manager will work.  The\n   question is not in faq, the question should be:  Can I get the\n   report of my file held(date) on my service in print.  Offer to pay\n   up to ten dollars. At least that is how my office does recover\n   buddies, I have 40 people that might encounter this problem.\n   We got response right thru email your questions to aim.

Although I don't have an answer for you other than what was already posted, this is actually good information to have! I was thinking of purchasing from Target.com, but after reading this apparent scam they have, I will take my business elsewhere. Thanks for asking the question and giving me some much needed insight about this companys tactics.

Try looking on e-bay for the edition and copy...usually an ISBN number is listed for the book if it for sale there...good chance....\n\nAlso ...did you know that the ISBN system is soon to run out of available numbers and they will change over to 13 digits from the present 10?

Prentice Hall of India reprints the books in India. If you look at the production quality (paper, illustrations usually b&w or missing) etc. you will see that it is not exactly the *same book*. \n\nThen, please remember that a very great proportion of the cost of a book is the distribution cost (inventory carrying costs, shipping, distributor and dealer margins). Since these costs are proportionaltly less in India, (Rupees vs. Dollars), that also contributed to loessening the cost. \n\nI do agree that the 'enlightened self-interest' of the publisher in wanting to curb piracy losses, is another factor in reducing the rates!
