Several weeks ago I was contacted by phone by a person who said he
represented Handicapped & Disadvantaged Employment of Phoenix AZ. He
told me they were selling long life lightbulbs for $5.00 plus
shipping. I know there is nothing outstanding about that price but I
assumed they were compact flourescent bulbs and he told me I would be
helping disadvantaged and unemployed persons. When I received my bulbs
today I was very dissapointed.They were ordinary bulbs and seemed to
very sloppily made. there was poor soldering on the base, some bulbs
seemed to have dirt inside them and one had a broken off filiment.
(metal content). There was no brand name on them but they were marked
"American, made in USA, !0,000 hours, 130v, krypton. They billed me
$47.06 for 4.
I checked them out on the Internet and they had one complaint on a
website called Ripoffreports:

Also the Phoenix BBB has an unsatisfactory rating for them:

So now I'm wondering what would be the best to do, send the bulbs back
collect, call them and complain, send a report to the BBB or keep the
bulbs and do nothing?
