Hi,
So I ordered a Christmas gift from a popular electronic store online. When I visited their homepage, they advertise an offer specifying that all orders should arrive before Dec. 24th or they'll send me a digital coupon that takes off a certain amount of money from my next purchase. Well the gift I ordered from them didn't arrive til' a couple days after Dec. 24th. So I emailed the store representatives asking how I would receive the coupon and they responded by telling me I'll get it the next day. However I never received it. So I emailed them another time couple weeks later and they didn't respond. I called them and no one answered. The third time I emailed them they said they'll send it to me as soon as possible. However, it has been a week and I still haven't received it.
So I was wondering what I should do? I know I'm not losing anything. I'm just angry that they used an incentive to get me to order from them, but when I did they won't send me the coupon.
Thank you!False Advertisement?
Call your local Mayor Hotline or you could try the Federal Trade Commission (I think this one). Go to their website at www.ftc.gov and it should list all kinds of things. There's also Federal Calling Commission but that pretty much governs calls and such.
The Better Business Bureau doesn't do a whole lot really. It just lodges a complaint against the company but as far as getting a resolution, you probably will never get one through the BBB.False Advertisement?
Find out where they do there business and call the better business bureau on them . If you google the better business bureau of each state and you could probably get some contact information on one of them.

Are advertisement products on T.V true or false?
Depends on the product. If it's an informmercial touting get rich quick with real estate, it's probably false. So many people think they can relieve their problems and pay a little money to get a course to get back on top. Watch a few for laughs. Then use yahoo and type in that course along with the word ';scam';. You'll see how many people got taken.
If it's a food commercial, it might be a bit of hype but you'll probably get exactly what you see on tv. Although everyones taste buds are different. You may love that new low calorie salad dressing but everyone else hates it.
If it's for some gizmo or gadget, then you have to realize, it works well on tv because they've done it 50 times and only used that footage showing it worked GREAT ! There are also sites you can search on Yahoo about ';as seen on tv'; sites where consumers rate the product good or bad.
Judge for yourself but always research research research before you try anything out ';as seen on tv ';
Good Luck.

”Dead soldier’s graves are the best advertisement for peace.” true or false?
reasons and or any arguments against the question”Dead soldier’s graves are the best advertisement for peace.” true or false?
Soldiers fight for peace and freedom. Unfortunately, sometimes war is needed for the benefit of people in the long run. I think some wars are justified, I think some aren't. Whether the war is justified or not, soldiers are still brave people who fight for their cause.”Dead soldier’s graves are the best advertisement for peace.” true or false?
True.
They epitomise the futility of war and the senseless loss of human life.
They inspire humility, gratitude and awe for the soldiers lying beneath who were prepared to selflessly give their lifes in the pursuit of offering others peace through fighting battles they did not start.
Ultimately, in war, there are no winners only victims.
For me their can be no argument.
Although I think arguments can be made that it is and is not, my experiences within my country leads me to believe it is not. I think our collective society has become vengeful and fearful and images of soldiers graves and reminders of fallen soldiers do not provoke the same sentiment they did in the late 60's and 70's. I believe our culture has become quick to find the ';evildoer';, and allow our government to punish those we are told are to blame for making us feel unsafe. I think the graves statement may actually feed the collective fear that people live with, as well as insight people to continue fighting because they can not accept the soldiers died without tangible outcome, like ';winning'; a war.

False Advertisement...?
What happens when you fall into a false advertisement?? Is there anyway to get out of it or not?? I mean like to get the real price you saw first...False Advertisement...?
Prevention is better than cure.False Advertisement...?
yes. you ask whomever is in charge to honor their price that was posted or the one you saw first. if they refuse talk to the highest person in the company.
No one is forcing you to purchase anything. Are you talking about a bait and switch? You can contact the Better Business Bureau if you want to,
try to imagine urself with something better...hehe
clarification please?
If you have proof it is a different price, then a lot of stores will price match you.
Not worth the trouble unless it is a really big ticket item.

What is false advertisement?
It is any form of advertising that proves to be untrue.
An example of this--
Often stores will advertise a particular item at a very low price to get customers in (when they don't actually have the item in stock, they explain it as being sold out).
Wikipedia states::
False advertising (or more mildly, deceptive advertising) is an act of deliberately misleading a potential client about a product, service or a company in general by reporting false or misrepresenting information or data in advertising or other promotional materials. False advertising is a type of fraud, and may also be considered a hoax.What is false advertisement?
When the PERFORMANCE of the product or service does not live up to, or falls short of, the results PROMISED in the advertisement.What is false advertisement?
is when a commercial tries 2 sell something and it really isn't what it's suppose 2 b.
When a company tries to sell a product, claiming it can do something extraordinary when they know it can't... like boob pills or anti-cellulite creams.
When a company deceives you about their product.Like it grows your hair,makes your skin blemish free,makes you thinner in 30 days.
If it doesn't effect to people.
That is false for me.
Advertising should effect everybody
Best Reagards
I do believe its when the product hasn't been proven , or pattented, all along those lines....
Breast enlargement.
when the ad is not work
Most of viral ads can be called false, especially if they contain something indecent, violent, dangerous etc. - so the client would never admit it was done under his permission. They usually say those ads are done by the fans of the product or the brand.myspace games

What do I need to do if I believe a company is guilty of false advertisement?
recently purchased a car and I specifically asked about 0% financing for 60 months. However, it was communicated that it was unavailable. I recently received a flyer in the mail stating they have 0% financing for 36 to 60 months on my specific vehicle (FYI I qualify for the rate). However I already purchased the car, and the deal was valid when I purchased the car. I contacted the manufacturer and they said I would have to take this up with the dealership I purchased the vehicle from. I am not getting any help from the dealership.. Do I have a case here? and what should I do?
if the agreement was made on false pretenses that they did not have 0% available, I don't have a case?
What do I need to do if I believe a company is guilty of false advertisement?
i doubt if you have anything. Ads regarding financing are full of weasel words. Perhaps the truth of the matter is that it was not available to you, but could have been available to others. Consider also that the ';false advertising'; you mentioned was not received until after the deal was done, so it could not have affected your decision. Your complaint seems to be that no one offered you o% financing, when they could have. No one has to make an offer to you and you were free to walk away if you didn't like the terms.
