Pacific Corporate Solutions

I found this place on the City & County of Honolulu’s website as a place that accepts old electronic equipment.
On Wednesday, I dropped off some printers and an old kindle which would work only sporadically. On Thursday, I got an e-​mail from Amazon saying that someone was purchasing books on my account. I asked my husband if he had bought anything and he hadn’t. The only thing we could think of was that someone was ordering books off the kindle we donated.
I called their office the next day. They searched for the kindle but couldn’t find it. After a thorough investigation, one of the employees was fired.
While I understand that employers can’t control everything their employees do — I think part of the problem was the way they administer the intake of items.
When I first dropped off the kindle, I called them first and gave a general list of the items I was dropping off. I told the person over the phone that I couldn’t remember exactly what was in my car, but could run out and check if she needed me to — she said it was ok.
Had the intake person on the phone and the employees receiving my items been more strict on making sure there was an accurate accounting of items — I think this would make employees think twice before taking anything.
All in all, we’re just glad it was only a kindle and not a PC.
