Default Enough is enough @Toppscards...

So this is somewhat off topic here but I recieved a 2012 Brock Lesnar UFC Knockout auto redemption which I redeemed. Fast forward, Lesnar is released from UFC and never signed this card. Topps sent me a Lyoto Machida Auto from 2010 Main Event...$10 card. I sent it back with a letter of dis-satisfaction and three weeks later (Today) I recieved an envelope. Inside was a 2010 Brock Lesner Auto. Also inside was the original letter I sent and Im guessing Topps has either to much free time or they are just plain ignorant. Someone took a highlighter to the letter I sent and wrote Spelled wrong and highlighted the Errors...to me thats a slap in the face for someone to have the audacity to take the time to spell check a complaint and mail it back after already knowing the consumer was ticked about the 2 yr old replacement.... Guess ill be sending the replacement's Replacement back with another letter.

Not sure what your wrestling card has to do with baseball.

But the reply lends credence to the thought that people at Topps are on this board.

Why send it back - you got the auto of the guy you wanted.

That's horrible. Have a pic of the letter? That's just wrong.

while I wouldn't complain about getting a Brock autograph, but that is very low of Topps to send your original letter back corrected and highlighted

If it means that much to you just send a letter in but keep the auto of the guy you wanted

Personally I would cut them some slack sonsidering what they have gone through recently.

You complain and maybe the buy gets fired. Maybe he was without power for 6-8 days at home and just let his frustration over.

Professional? No. Could it be explained? Yes

Yea but point was there was no need for them to highlight it and feel the need to mail it back! Poor customer service since they could have mailed me a Lesnar in the first place

What they may or may not have gone through has no bearing on the fact that no customer should ever be treated ilke that.

I have my own issues with Topps right now as well. I submitted everything for a missing hit and was told it was on its way, two months later I have emailed back several times forwarding the emails stating everything and the only response I get is "Topps requires buyers to supply the following information...". I have given all information and was told something was on the way. Instead I am talking to a wall trying to get someone to do their job right.

Nah. They don't deserve slack cut over that. If the guy can't hack the job get another. No reason for that crap.

can we see the highlighted letter ?

Considering in the thread you have about this situation in the correct section states you were going to send them a love note, I imagine it would be a very insightful read.

Personally I find it funny, now morally it was wrong for topps to do that but if you are going to send a letter and complain about something you should have correct spelling, punc, ect.. If I was a business man and I got letters of people complaining and it was all wrong I would just toss them in the trash. To be taken serious people need to be professional which means write in the correct way and do not have any mistakes.

Like everyone else has said post pics.

No matter the circumstance, from a business aspect that should not be allowed. Topps is at fault on that, try to talk to someone higher than the standard customer service.

I cant think of a good reason for the OP not to show the letter.
