Funny-when you scroll down the page-there is Jonathan Karp of Simon & Schuster.

and when you go to the bottom of their webpage at http://www.simonandschusterpublishing.com/simonandschuster/about-us...

it clearly states

Or were you just trying to make an unfunny, not helpful to the conversation remark?

It is a fact that S&S is owned by National Amusements. Paramount and Viacom are owned by S&S, they are subdivisions. Your last comment is unwarranted.

National Amusements owns Paramount Global, Paramount Global owns S&S.

Paramount handles the sale of S&S to Penguin. I think Paramount might be concerned about a potential media issue involving a signed LOA by their subsidiaries CEO. National Amusement is an extra step away, they are not likely to get involved.

National Amusemments isn't a widely known company and is layers separated. Paramount is a company with a large public-facing presence and itwould have the much greater need to prevent reputational damage. That would be the ideal Target to get sh*t to rain down from above on Jonathan Karp and Simon & Schuster.

+1. S&S made 993 million dollars last year - this is a blip if that. And they have a legal out for sure.

My package is set to arrive tomorrow. It originated from Berkeley MO which is a northern suburb of St Louis. Im sure you all probably have heard of Ferguson, well its right next-door. I pass right by there whenever I head to St Louis.

Anyways, after waiting for more events to unfold before making a decision. My plan of action for tomorrow is to just not be home for delivery. They will reattempt which will give a few more days to reassess my decision. As long as I feel it is still the best course of action, I will let them attempt redelivery to an empty house until they decide to return to sender. I will open a claim with PayPal as item not received. The only problem I see with this scenario is, if I open an item not received case and they attempt to resend without a signature needed for the 2nd package, I would need to be home when FedEx attempts the next delivery for the reshipment. Its not a problem for me since I'm self employed and my schedule is flexible.

What are the chances they will use this tactic? And, if the 2nd package manages to be delivered without anyone needing to be home, how easy is it to adjust a claim in PayPal as item not received to item not as described? There are still many unknowns for many people who have never had to deal with this type of situation. Its scary playing around with $642 and I know everyone is searching for the most concrete way to make sure they are refunded. You may need to figure out which option is best based on your specific situation. Did you use PayPal or another form of payment? What form of payment did you use in combination with PayPal? What are all of their protections? Each will be different and you may need to contact the bank associated with the specific card you used.

There is also a concern about refusing a package if you are based outside of the US. It may not be the best plan for certain people. I may change my plans if more information comes forward, but as it stands now, fedex will not be receiving a signature from this house when they attempt delivery tomorrow

It's a shame nobody on here is from Manahattan - so they could go round in person and show them the faked book and air their grievances - Good job I don't - i'd make them eat it ! Then give me my $600 back !
