..and Dee that's the big problem in America. People that are not interested beyond the first page. Not important to them, they can just go out an buy another. Unfortunately it's not that way for everyone (just look at the recipients of TIF the Toy Industry Foundation), and it shouldn't be that way for everyone. Companies like Megatech International know that a lot of people in the US simply throw out the toy if it fails. They know the ones that contact the manufacturer are similar, and will give up given enough hassles. Companies like this are really preying on the people of USA. They can cut costs and sling out any old junk from China onto the market when the customers don't (the toy industry doesn't (and the US doesn't)) demand a decent product, warranty and customer service. TIA the Toy Industry Association by its own actions appears to foster this way of business. Its own rules state the companies should work to the TIA code of conduct, which Megatech International hasn't. TIA, the Toy industry Association hasn't yet addressed the actions of their member at that time, but it has to. It has to facilitate fair play that matches their code of conduct. I don't want to see TIA the Toy Industry Association promoting and assisting companies that act like Megatech International, do you? Do you want to see your child Dee, purchasing a product from the group of companies under TIA the Toy Industry Association? Would you have liked someone to refer to TIA the Toy Industry Association members list as a good reference, buy their old member Megatech International's product and for them to provide it to your child? Have you not read the problems I and others have had with Megatech International? Do you prefer they get away with it, as TIA the Toy Industry Association appears to prefer? You see Dee, what does TIA the Toy Industry Association stand for, what is its purpose, if it allows Megatech International type conduct to associate with it? What does TIA the Toy Industry Association stand for when it does nothing. Just look at the photo of the Megatech International product. http://www.ripoffreport.com/images/reports/345723-1.jpg This is what TIA the Toy Industry Association fostered. They assisted Megatech International's business to provide a TOY like that to be delivered to my child. They allowed Megatech International to work in the ways it did towards me. They fostered these actions. They allow this even when informed by myself / Ripoff Report. They've done nothing to help us (or their association) against this manufacturer in the toy industry. What do you (or anyone else) stand for Dee when you oppose my work to provide my child with the fall 1997 birthday present I purchased for him, which he still doesn't have? Why not instead think of ways you could act to improve this situation and the industry as a whole.

Still no reply and assistance from TIA the Toy Industry Association, so I send a note to the organization again. They appear to be ignoring a customer's complaint regarding one of their members, Megatech International. So I send the following letter to them: Dear President Carter Keithley, Exec Director Elizabeth Borrelli and VP Jean Butler, You have not addresses the ripoff report. Please address it at RipoffReport.com How is a young child's loss of not 1 birthday, not a birthday and a Christmas, not 2 birthdays, but 2 birthdays and 2 Christmases not worth your time? Thank you.

I read my last post that contained the song lyrics. Upon reading the last sentence "Now, get to work!" after posting it (apparently I was in a hurry and didn't re-check it), I can say that wasn't what I wanted to post, or it doesn't read the same way as when it was written (which can often be a problem with text). I apologize if you read it the way I now read it, but I hope you understand what my child and I have had to go through because of Megatech International. Having said that, there was obvious intent to ask you to work on this problem for my child, please, and having said that, I do have a time frame in mind for that tasks completion. I know the task will require some RR study that shouldn't take long, then looking up Megatech on your contacts list, and then dialing the phone number. You will need to talk to Mr. Peter Winston the owner himself, as the VP and below are all involved in the bad business on this Ripoff Report. Mr. Peter Winston will either be in or out, but he will, if he is a modern businessman, be able to call a business of your stature right back within 24 hours. I look forward to your response.

What is more dismaying, disillusioning than the way this toys for children company Megatech International treats its young customers, is the way the association that is over all the toys for children manufacturers in the USA treats this toy customer. The TIA, Toy Industry Association president and the assistants just brush us off as a waste of their time. Use legal means they say. Has this organization ever thought about their target customers, children, saving up all their pocket money to hire a lawyer to fight for their $60 birthday present. Is this the picture TIA, the Toy Industry Association's President Carter Keithley, Exec Director Elizabeth Borrelli and VP Jean Butler want to see for the kids of USA? Have you 3 ever once thought about this? Now do you realize what associating with bad business generates for the young customers you strive to provide for through your association of manufacturers. Did you ever think you'd tell a young child to save their pocket money for years to afford a lawyer to fight one of your association's members, someone you could contact in a flash? Did you ever think you would do that, or is this situation commonplace and acceptable in your toys for children association? Is there no spine in TIA, the Toy Industry Association? I brought the situation to TIA, the Toy Industry Association hoping there was someone in the association with a backbone that would take the bully by the horns and make this bad situation right for the child. What did I get? Another Megatech International style bad business response. 20 words and then hide and ignore. When a company has been taken through the BBB and Attorney General etc., they inherently learn and they have a choice of what to do with the new things they learned in those mediation processes. A good company learns and changes its ways, so it's unlikely their customers will ever again be treated badly enough to warrant them contacting the BBB etc. A bad business also learns from the BBB and Attorney General experience, but instead of changing its business ways to stop it happening again, a bad business learns the tricks to beat the system. You could liken it to a cat burglar learning all the techniques to enter and cross a room, avoiding all the various types of alarms to get what he wants. So in Megatech International's case, they've chosen to try to evade the problem by making an insincere move to save themselves a buck and slip through the cracks in the BBB and Attorney General's problem assistance procedures (they insincerely cater to just enough of the financial issues to slip through cracks, but leave/avoid the huge agreement / trust issues). Megatech International again thought its experience and knowledge learned with Ripoff Report would enable them to avoid the problem by simply ignoring the Ripoff Reporter. Fortunately there are few limits at Ripoff Report. A crook that's reported here can do as they wish. The crook may end up looking like a King, or the crook may be revealed as a crook. This is all determined by the global readers viewpoint on Ripoff Report details created by the Ripoff Reporter, the crook and by Ripoff Report readers too. Megatech International chose to evade the problem instead of improving themselves because of it. Megatech chose to ignore Ripoff Report based on the knowledge it learned. Megatech is now learning Ripoff Report is "open" and it's hard to find any cracks to slip through. It's "open" and there's nowhere to hide. Billions of people are able to watch. Megatech International's Ripoff Report is about agreement and trust issues. This TIA, Toy Industry Association Ripoff Report is about core values of the association. Code of conduct. It's about holding other fee paying TIA, Toy Industry Association members to the high Code of Conduct standards whilst letting another member breach it to its advantage. It's also about TIA, Toy Industry Association's conduct when it reads about a young child having their birthday and Christmas destroyed by one of their members, and genuine mediation attempts ignored too. Mediation attempts that TIA, Toy Industry Association approved to pass the anniversary of the child's birthday. This TIA, Toy Industry Association Ripoff Report is about TIA, Toy Industry Association's bad choice and bad conduct in this matter. Three top people chose to ignore all of this: President Carter Keithley, Exec Director Elizabeth Borrelli and VP Jean Butler. I contacted TIA, Toy Industry Association to help assure my child wouldn't be without a birthday present for an entire year. TIA, Toy Industry Association unfortunately did allow this to happen, making no direct effort to try to ensure Megatech did not allow this to happen. I expect TIA, Toy Industry Association to revisit my issue, and to do much better than you have done for this situation that we took precious time and effort to outline to you recently in the letter we sent. I expect you to address Megatech International's conduct in this issue. As the anniversary of the child's birthday is gone, Christmas is the new target. TIA, Toy Industry Association, you can help. Megatech is a TIA, Toy Industry Association member. Here are their details: Megatech International Incorporated 8300 Tonnelle Ave North Bergen, New Jersey, 07047 U.S.A.

It is interesting that TIA the Toy Industry Association of toy manufacturers is ignoring a customer of one of its members that is violating its code of conduct. Is TIA the Toy Industry Association of toy manufacturers indicating to me that this style treatment is acceptable and rampant in the Toy industry, and saying we're no different?
