    What's the reason they gave you for the drop?

    Sorry Dune I'm a bit slow today, you are talking about ewaste correct? if so, it looks like gold futures are being forecasted as going as low as $1550 to $1560 in August which will cause a hit in the ewaste market.

    many economists (who cant get on msm because they dont spew the party line (either party by the way) say some time in 2013/14 it will be impossable to hold the world economy up by printing fiat/counterfit money and gold will double and silver will quadrupple, I dont know but looking at all indicarors and history it looks to me they may well be right.

    Ok Anyone else see my line of reasoning on this wording.

    "Please see attached price sheets, effective immediately for materials that have not yet been shipped."

    Now materials to be shipped would imply customer to collection dock. (Meaning that if you have been waiting for payments starting in the beginning of the month, they would be locked into the price list of that date it was delivered.)?

    Not from Collection dock to main facility.

    (Material not paid for but is waiting on shipment to main facility will now be paid for way less the prices agreed on at the time of receipts.)
    ----I know that nothing has moved in over a month and a half and people have been paid for the materials at full pricing. Last one i know of was delivered 4 days before my first drop off.
    --------In this train of thought only 2 vendors will be covering the shipping cost of over 40,000lbs of material and payouts will greatly be lower. (I am one of them........)

    Because their policy is that you deliver sorted material, they have to lock in the prices on the day that they recieve it in. Doesnt mean they will, but ISRI guidelines dictate that once its recieved it is a contract. They can downgrade and upgrade material but the prices are set..If material hasnt reached them yet then the prices will be changed

    I got a bad feeling about this......

    The material is at the collection center down here. totally out of my hands and i know that its just sitting in the back of the warehouse.

    So even though you delivered to the facility and they have possession of it they are not going to honor the prices that were in place when you delivered? Or do they send material after you delivered to the other facility and when it gets there that's when they considered it delivered.? Sounds a little screwy if that's what they do. If they take possession of it then I would think that they have to honor the prices when you brought it in. Do you have a dated receipt from when you delivered it to them?

    ---Not for certain but wording of the email could be taken that way. Im waiting for the higher ups to get to work, different time zones. I have spoken to everyone at the facility and are fully aware of the situation.


    Or do they send material after you delivered to them to the other facility and when it gets there that's when they considered it delivered.?

    ---This was the answer i was going with at the time to justify a 2-3 week payment period. Also prices have dropped before on my shipments (kinda hard waiting for 2-3weeks without that happening) and the receipts from them match what i should have been paid but weights on the ticket are changed around to make up for it.

    Sounds a little screwy if that's what they do. If they take possession of it then I would think that they have to honor the prices when you brought it in.

    ---mmhmm thats what im hoping i get told in 30 minutes.


    Do you have a dated receipt from when you delivered it to them?

    -----Yup and the correlating price list stapled to the receipts for the drop offs.

    I would think that they have to honor the pricing you were given a receipt for. I consider that when someone takes possession of materials it is considered delivered. Not my problem if they get back logged, items get lost etc. As long as you have that dated receipt ANY business that wants to keep its good name and rep has to do what is right and honor what was quoted. I will tell you this, if they don't I would be looking for someone else to do business with. Good luck keep us informed.

    This smells of no good to me. This isn't right. Material was delivered and weighed and a certain price was expected, there is paper work to show for it and I believe that is a valid contract. It nowhere says on the paperwork that it is a price quote and prices are subject to change. For this to drastically change because of a company wide overhaul and to effect things already weighed in is a huge F-up. It should be in effect for items dropped off from now on.

    I can say this, hopefully everything goes well or else this said vendor is never getting a single thing from me again, and whatever happens to the prices isn't going to matter to me anymore. Hopefully this all gets figured out. I know there is quite a few people with material turned in expecting pay outs, or have they already been paid?
