This company called my job looking for the maintenance person. There I went answering the call "Hey there my name is Mike Barns with Lion Distributing and your name is?" I replied " My name is blah-blah." "Well blah-blah it shows here that your hotel is using PL-S 2700 spiral light bulbs is that correct?" "I'm not certain of the model type but I do know they're the type you screw in like regular bulbs." "Oh okay."
He then began telling me he has shipped a cordless drill along with a hunting buck knife as a free gift, No Charge. He just needs to verify the address, which he recited to the tee. I was under the impression I would be receiving a drill and a buck knife, as well as a brochure from their company. When the delivery arrived I was surprised to see three enormous boxes in my name. Each box contained a ridiculously large amount of packaging popcorn that surrounded a 12x16x8 inch box that contained 16 spiral light bulbs.
The drill and buck knife also came in their own over-sized box. The invoice didn't arrive until a few weeks later and it was more surprising than the boxes. For the 48 light bulbs we were being charged $648.95. If we wanted to return the items there was going to be a 15% restocking fee and we needed to get a confirmation code before we could ship back the items. I had a difficult time getting a conf. Code, they made it seem like I had called them to order the bulbs and they had my boss believing that as well.
So before I could even return the first boxes of bulbs, another delivery of bulbs arrived within a few weeks after the other ones. It had another invoice attached to it. I never gave them permission nor did I ask them for more bulbs, they just showed up. After several weeks of deliberations they gave me permission to return the first delivery but not the other. The only way I could receive the FedEx return slips is if I agreed to pay for the second delivery which totaled $532.68 for 32 bulbs. I reluctantly agreed just so I can get my boss off my back. Things have never been the same since and their phone calls haven't stop. Stay away from this company they are bad news.
