ccc: corporation corruption continues i bought a treadmill yesterday. upon opening the box the first thing i see is an offer to hire assemblers to put it together for $119. i thought, heck, i've put together a bookcase, file cabinet, and computer desk. i can surely put together a treadmill. the only assembly was the front part. the bottom with the belt was together. first i checked the number of pieces. all there. piece of cake! got my tools and started screwing. i came to a part to add screws were only 2 of this kind were provided. you had no substitute. they did not fit! there was no way in heck they would fit. oh no! now my treadmill wouldn't work. it was plain as day. i would get frustrated, and call the assemblers to put it together. that was their plan. i decided to go ahead and put the treadmill together without those screws. they were not in a crucial location or make it unsafe.
it worked! those screws were a deliberate decoy for more business. i'm glad i figured it out.
