Comments and Analysis

We routinely advise when contacted by a telephone soliciter rather than make an immediate decision ask that the terms of the offer be presented in writing. To minimize misunderstandings designate one employee to whom all calls regarding equipment or supplies must be directed. The designated employee will become familiar with regular suppliers and would be less likely to accept from an unfamiliar caller. If unordered merchandise arrives write the company of your intent to keep the shipment as a free gift if pickup is not arranged within a reasonable length of time. Send your letter by certified mail to obtain proof of receipt. Be sure to keep copies for your records.

Other Considerations

We know of no other matter or practice relating to this company that may assist you in your consideration of this company.
