**GilbertsGrape** · 04-28-2003, 09:07 PM

if you took part on that water deal a while back from office Depot then they probably owe you water or money. The ad was for 16.9oz botles and they shipped out 9oz botles. so i ordered 6 cases of water and let them know they owed my $13.16 MGR was like this is the first time we have had this problem before and we have had this ad for a long time and in alot of catalogs..... was a hastle getting them to understand but i will be geting a credit. they will probably pull som Bs about not responsable for errors but this is a big error. like 7.9oz per bottle error. it was like i got 1/2 the water i ordered.

just an FYI if you got in on that deal and dont want to be ripped off

Interesting...

Why did they do this?

Regarding the water, I order 10 cases and I received the right size bottles. However, they say something along the lines of 1 pint .9 oz. One pint is 16 oz. Also, they are about the size of the 16.9 oz bottles I purchase from Walmart on a regular basis. I spoke to a OD rep and she stated that all OD sells is the 16.9 oz size but the label uses the pint measurement.

I've ordered 3 cases/month for the past 2 yrs (I have no car, and I'm too lazy to walk to the store to buy other drinks)

I've always received the 16.9 oz, Deer Park bottles (I go to school in Maryland).

1 pint .9 oz == 1 pint + .9 oz
// 1 pint = 16 oz
16 oz + .9 oz = 16.9 oz

What the label means is it is one pint plus nine tenths of an ounce.

What is this world getting to?

So many people 'buying' WATER.

You should try the water here in Phoenix. It's VERY hard water and tastes HORRIBLE! Luckilly, the house I'm buying has an R/O system for the sink/ice maker and a water softener for the rest of the house.

i received bottles marked
1 pt, 0.9 fl oz

which translates to 16.9 fl oz, so I got the right stuff.

Check yer bottles! And clean your water heaters! eww....

I guess i'm immune to pretty much everything in water after being exposed to the worst of water kinds in India. It was hard water and it even had a very high salt percentage. But I got used to it. Even there lotta ppl used to buy mineral water and stuff but i never did. And its not like I came down with some jaundice/typhoid disease. My body is resistant to a lotta diseases, although im 25 lbs underweight for my height. IMO kids are only ones who deserve mineral/botlled water.
