Writing letters of complaint to companies works great. You have to wait around for the pay off but it's worth it. Most companies will go out of their way to satisfy a customer, especially when you are dealing directly to the manufacturer of the product instead of a sales rep at the store you got the product. Here is an example...I sent a letter to Hersheys Chocolate Mfg Co, stating that a Mr. Goodbar I had recently purchased was tainted...it tastedlike styrofoam. I said that I had been a frequent buyer of their products, but wouldn't be anymore if this continued. I sent the letter out, a few weeks passed and then I got a letter back from them saying how sorry they were, and how valued a customer I was...along with 20 1dollar couponsfor anything Hershey makes. Anyway...it's not much,but it is still 20 bucks. You can use the sameprocedure on any company and they will hook you up with something. BTW...my eigth grade English teacher had us do this as a class assignment!
