Bad Combination: Affiliate Checks and Paper Shredders

Cross Cut Paper Shredder, destroy the evidence Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later… I was going through a small stack of morning mail that included 6 affiliate checks. What I normally do is open the envelope, remove the contents and throw the envelope in the paper shredder for recycling.

Well, I pulled out the contents of an envelope from Friendfinder, shredded the envelope and when I looked for the check that came with the affiliate letter … it wasn’t there! Could it be that there was no check?

Nope.

I sifted through the tiny shreds and sure enough, there was a bit from ‘dley.com’… or Medley.com, the company that handles Friendfinder’s affiliate commission checks. :-/

Bummer.

    That’s what happens when you get as many checks as you do ;) Sorry for that. I hope Friendfinder send you another check.

    I guess this is yet another reason why I prefer to work with companies that send payment using Paypal or transfers to a US bank account.

    Yes, in a way I’m spoiled… :-) But I really don’t like getting ripped off by PayPal. If a merchant owes me $100, I want the WHOLE $100! ~ Ros
