Topic Wiki

This thread is to discuss whether people feel that something is unethical, not to find out what the law*/T&C says.

Any Halachic questions should be posted here.

*According to CountValentine this includes religion, but unfortunately for him, the general consensus is that religion will always be entwined in this thread.

*Hint* If you have to ask, It's most likely not ethical.

First they ship me double and ask me to return one, (I did, reason see above... ;))
Now I get this from Amazon:
Hello,

We're writing to let you know we processed your refund of $xx for your Order XXX from Simple Cell, Inc.

This refund is for the following item(s):

Reason for refund: Shipping address is undeliverable

Here's the breakdown of your refund for this item etc...

Whats the ethical thing to do with this company,  they seem to like me  ::)??

I don't want I insult anyone specificity- bit wanted I know what ppl think cause its been battering me a little...
I feel this whole selling nights at le meridian Dead Sea is very unethical!
And I'm not just talking about because of their t&c- which one can maybe say they are not complying with themselves ...
I'm also talking about how this is causing ppl who worked honestly to get points and would like to be able to use on a vacation- (which they otherwise can't afford for practical purposes) and can't use them where they would like to when planning theit vacation- ie:about month in advance- cause can't find nights  being that ppl are booking them all to sell!
(Yes I know get are selling them for cheap- bug ppl should be getting them for free!)

Not sour at all. Is it just this one place or selling any nights at any hotel you feel is unethical?

If it is against the T&C's then to me it is clear it is unethical.

To me it seems unethical regardless of the T&C...

Well it is def against t&c- I think everyone agrees with that.. Just ppl racked up their own complaints on this specific hotel (at least)- to somehow make that right..

Assuming the definition of 'unethical' is: "It doesn't feel right to me", then this counts ;D
