I ordered a Grand Cherokee through the UK arm for delivery in US when we were
moving back here.
When the time came to pay I wasn't charged for some extras (LoJack and
extended warranty). I sent the money requested and asked if the extras were
being supplied. OMS in New York apologized and told me how much more to send.
Only problem was it was about 50% of what it should have been. Trying to avoid
problems in the future and the cost of wiring money to them I ask them to
explain how they had arrived at this figure for the extras. Their reply was
pay the extra or you don't get the vehicle. As they already had my money for
the full cost of the vehicle, less extras, I phoned and in a full and frank
discussion told them to cancel the extras and I would take the vehicle as is
and be done with it.
I collected the vehicle and 10 days later got a check from OMS for an
overpayment as I had cancelled the extras. As I hadn't paid for the extras
effectively they sold me the vehicle at 6% less then the price I agreed to pay
when I placed the order.

Can't say I did. But I did have to "educate" the Ramstien AFB Commissary
managers as to the fact they have to provide services to Civilians TDY to
USAFE. .. Even if it did take calling all the way stateside to talk with
the nice gentlemen in charge of DCA ..
That evening I thought they were going to roll out the red carpet for us.
Must have caught him before the morning cup o coffee.
