Hi all,
I'd like to tell of a small incident where the MOQ affected a decision I made.
In July I ordered 6 tubes of paint. Four were expensive cadmiums. Five
days later I received my order. Two days after that I received the same
merchandise again. Both orders came with a packing slip, but one came
without a packing number. I was delighted with my unexpected
bonanza. Greed lives in me. But because the MOQ is forever on my mind, I
started to think that this would be an appropriate moment to apply its
principles.
Since our society is based on a Capitalistic economy, at least in theory,
and dependent on profits made by business entities, the right choice was to
return the duplicate order. I called the company, explained the situation
and arranged to return the merchandise. It was painful to part with the
"free" extra paint, but I was pleased to think I had made a higher quality
decision.
This was only a little moral choice, but maybe because of that it would
have been easy to let it slip by. I want society stable so that citizens
may flourish.
I'm not looking for praise. I am interested in how other people actually
apply the MOQ principles.
