Sent mine seeking a refund to them two weeks ago. After ten days without getting a reply, I sent a letter to the BBB.


Well aren't you just a sweetheart. You gave them TEN whole days to respond. Generous.
Have you heard back from the BBB?
How many days are you giving them to straighten out the whole mess before you go to the Attorney General? Or is the FBI next on your list?


Actually, ten days is more than enough time for any reasonably active customer service division to reply. Especially considering the fact that two previous inquiries I sent months ago went ENTIRELY IGNORED. Yes, I've heard back from the BBB, & yes, it has gotten me results. And yes, some people actually want what they've been told they are paying for & won't settle for just what they're given.

I'm not convinced that these mild measures are working. These NPGMC people need to be shown the error of their ways.I suggest we, as a group, mount an armed assault on Paisley Park! I, for one, will not stand idly by while prince (if that is his real name) continues to treat us like obedient little dogs. Maybe, just maybe, if we're succesful, we can bring about the collapse of his despotic empire so that no more will his reign of terror stand. No more NPGMC! NO more Box Sets, No more aftershows! imagine a day when no one will be forced into memberships costing $100 where all you get is what they actually promised!

Oh.. by the way, I don't think I can be with you folks for the coup. I'm gonna be busy for the next year or so exploring the brilliance of the new box set.

There is one final thing that I'm curious about. While you're chatting with the BBB is ONA going to be playing in the background? I sure hope not, cuz if they hear it you may get put on hold while they get online to sign up with the NPGMC! Oh the irony!

Let me put it this way: IF he toured u'r country (area) and IF he would send out another cd (from the tourbook i understand he has plenny laying around) and IF communication would improve, this would've been a GREAT year, nobody would b complaining and most would b willing 2 renew their membership, even without knowing what was comming next year. At least i no i would. I like the cd-shipping formula, bcause downloads r easier 2 get from kazaa than they r from the NPGMC server. I guess the XCELLENT soundcheck i attended made it all worth this year, but since that won't b happing next year, it looks like i will just wait out and c.

Ok I have an idea:
Don't join NPGC straightaway.
Hold off for as long as possible;
keep checking this forum to see what the Prince lemmings (u know who u r) have received and if it seems that it is worth joining the club then do so towards the end of the year. This way u will still receive everything but u can hang on2 your $100 until its viable to part with it.
S'what I am gonna do.
$100 / £70 for ona + onalive = shudder


If everyone on here did that, NPGMC would be fucked. From the looks of things, they need your money up front to be able to produce and make it available to retail at the end of the year. Its happened twice already.

Freaking CRYBABIES!!!I subscribed to a freaking magazine company for one year and only rec'd two issues. I have joined book and CD clubs and rec'd books and CD's I didn't order or WANT. I have taken my chances with other "clubs", some sucked, some did fairly a good jobs, some bombed, some improved. BUT i have never written a letter to the BBB. Some of you claim to like Prince's music, but instead of supporting him, while he makes improvements, you freakin stab him in the BACK!!!. One orger was absolutely correct when she stated that Prince has done more for his fan than anyone, and I believe that she is correct. Name me another entertainer who has given so many perks. And no, it would no be feasible or even imaginable that the club would be a huge success in the beginning. Some of you act like you have started a project that automatically had no flaws. I am parent of 3 beautiful kids, but let me tell you, I had to work at perfecting my parenting skill with each pregnancy. Everything start off in the infancy stage and gradually builds. I am so positive when the club is so close to no flaws, there will STILL be alot of you COMPLAINING. I would not blame Prince if he cancelled the club. All this whining, complaining and bitchin even drives me up the wall. I cannot even turn to a post without there being some negativity towards Prince. It makes me wonder how some of you claim to be "fans". I understand all of the frustrations, but give the man and his staff and opportunity to clean up and improve. I am sure that Prince lives a pretty comfortable life, but if he didn't charge for club membership, concert tickets, admission
to the celebration, HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO DISTRIBUTE, MARKET OR TOUR HIS MUSIC. FOR GOD'S SAKE, try to stop whining all the time. We don't really care who does not join the club. If you want to report Prince or not join his club, don't tell, I, and I am sure many fans are sooo tired of hearing you guys rant, rant, rant, rant about this topic. I know that most people will post negative comments regadring my comment, but I don't really care. I am standing behind the "Prince" thru thick and thin. His music and talent are too wonderful to ignore and BITCH about all the time. There, I'm done


If you blindly throw money at people just because your obsessed with them, thats not a fan, thats a retard.

I hope you never ever have a bad experience with any form of retail or commerce, because if this is really what you think then you have no right to complain.

Tammy, oops I mean Tom, if you really read my post I did mention that I had joined some organization/clubs that were full of flaws. Hey, but I guess becuz I give most people the opportunity to "clean and fix" the flaws, I don't complain while they are in infancy. It would be different the the club was still functioning the same way after 4-5 yrs, then I would understand. But, my GOD, all YOU do is freakin whine, cry, complain, rant, discourage, encourage, should I go on. I am by no means "obsessed with Prince, that was in my teenage days. I read the org, but I stopped posting after reading all the awful, downright ugly posts about Prince, Mani, the club, etc. Now, I will only comment on posts that I feel are totally unjust. I want to come to this board to hear praise AND contructive critizism. Again, if you don't like the club, which we know and have heard 1000 times over and over again, GET OUT!!! Try to settle your business with the club, BBB, hell if you feel just, contact an attorney. I'm sorry to be so harsh, but not as a Prince a**kiser or obsessed fan, just a true fan/"fam", That's it, I'm just tired of reading this all the time...
u & me, we got mad chemisty

You know what. I find it really odd that the only thing you feel compelled to post about is me. You're more consumed with me on here than Prince.

And in case your little brain cant comprehend this yet, that pile of shit you just dumped on this thread is called WHINING, you know, the same thing you're acusing me of.

And by now, the Org knows that you don't like me or my posts. So if you live by your words, that means you should shut the fuck up as well.

"I will only comment on posts that I feel are totally unjust" - what are you a fucking prince org crusader, here to save us all from unjust posts? Here's a lightbulb, there are actual moderators on this site, let them do their job. How about you use a little self control, and I would hope a woman your age would have some by now, and not read the post in the first place?

"I want to come to this board to hear praise AND contructive critizism." - Guess what miss nobody, this is Prince.org, not kimgargia.org. Nobody gives a shit what you "want". The org is what it is, deal with it, get over it, and go to hell.

"but not as a Prince a**kiser or obsessed fan, just a true fan/"fam"" - by who's definition, your own?

"That's it, I'm just tired of reading this all the time..." - So who's holding a gun to your head and making you read it?

"Tammy, oops I mean Tom" - oh, and one last thing. 1.) The avatar is an image from an artist i admire not me in drag. 2.) Calling someone a woman in a derogatory manner, implying that they are less of a person because they are female, is really really stupid when you yourself are a woman.

Thats because

A- You're an idiot
B- You enjoy being ripped off
C- You're the same idiot trying in vain to do what exactly? Scold others and persuade them into being a fruit loopey used car salesmans best friend?
D- You're a comedian warming up some classic A- Material

Perhaps maybe theres something wrong with your credit card on your book and magazine orders.. whats the number and PIN code ? wink

And you didn't complain to the magazine - whats your problem. You should have been compensated for this. You got ripped off.
I have joined book and CD clubs and rec'd books and CD's I didn't order or WANT.
I've joined numerous book & record clubs & the only way you get unwanted items is if you don't reply back in time. If a club sends you a book or record you didn't ask for you are under no obligation to pay for it. Is there a big neon sign over your head that says SUCKER?

You make it sound like writing to the BBB for help is a dirty evil deed. This is the BBB not the KKK. Does being a fan & supporter of Prince & the NPGMC mean forfeiting the right to speak out?

When I was growing up my mother would contact any company if she bought something & it was 100% right. Almost every company would reply & most would go overboard to make the consumer happy.
I do the same thing.
I order a book thru the mail & the dust jacket is damaged - I complain.
Jewel case damaged in shipping - I complain.

NPGMC Year 2 - When the year ends & if I feel I can accomplish something (aside from venting) I will write NPGMC with a complaint letter. Not a FU letter.
