To my utter misfortune, I became acquainted and started to use the services offered by 1stBooks publishers now known as Authorhouse, and published my first two books in 2003. At the time, I detected no problem with their services and accepted that being my work was academic, would not sell many copies. I decided to publish my third book with them, a large 2 volume edition in 2008, and due to the reviews and publicity received, and the professors that contacted me personally, I became fully aware of the university libraries and public librarie... read full review »

My disabled son and I both had our name on the Carroll Elec. account for the house we own together. He has lived there alone for 2.5 yrs. My son's name has always been primary on the bill, and mine was listed second. Our levelized billing was about $48/month. Bills were always pd on time, and we even ran credit balances. He wanted to pay by himself, so last month we went in and took my name off. No one there warned us what would happen when he got the first bill. FYI, there has been no other change--location, usage, etc. in 2.5 years. On... read full review »

Twice, novelbox.com overcharged me on a published price on their website and is again, making me wait a month to receive a measly $4 refund. The second time, I personally spoke with the owner, Moshe, who assured me, that if I took the back-order, that he would honor the published price. It has been almost a month now, and I have left a message, written two emails, and finally said, if you don't issue the refund, I'm charging it back. I wrote to them regarding this Aug 26th, and have yet to receive a reply. HORRIBLE way to do business. They're just hoping you forget about it so they don't have to pay you what they owe you. read full review »

My wife recently sent out a FedEx envelope on our business account and the airbill was plainly marked that it was a FedEx envelope and that it weighed 3ozs. When we were invoiced for it FedEx overcharged us and indicated on the invoice that it was sent by "Customer Packaging" and it weighed 1.0lbs, 0.5kgs. When I contacted Customer Service they were not at all interested in our discussion and simply stated that our package was audited and therefore we were wrong. This was not the first time this had happened in fact it has happened so often that we are considering using another delivery service. read full review »

It's difficult to condense 6 months of customer no service from Llumina Press in Fla. See Llumina.com We've played the "she said, she said game with each other and their local Better Business Bureau, leading to no resolution. They are holding me, my money, and my book as hostage, by not publishing the book as agreed or returning the upfront payments for work not completed. Llumina still wants me to approve publishing a book that is formatted in a manner that I did not want from the beginning. Several other Print on... read full review »

Hello, It's strange to buy an expensive Swatch watch in Tunisia and to throw it away within only two years because of non-availability of Swatch leather straps.

I got a recommendation from The Fireplace Shoppe in Bryanston for Pieter Venter, a cabinet maker. He came to see me, seemed very knowledgeable and gave me a reasonable quote for some cabinetry I needed. I paid him a deposit of R 4500 and he has since vanished off the face of the earth. His cell phone is permanently off - no doubt a pay as you go number. Beware - do not be taken in by his 'I am an old fashioned craftsman' line - he is a crook - short & simple. read full review »

I have smoked Drum rolling tobacco for the past 30 years, smoking a 50 gram pack every two days. For a couple of years now Drum tobacco is being packed too tightly into the packaging, making it more than difficult to have a pleasurable smoke. I can't believe they continue to pack tobacco in this way. They have lost me as a customer. They can stick their Drum where it fits! And it doesn't fit where their sticking it! read full review »

I ordered 15 cartons of cigarettes well before the deadline ship date. Evidently the company ran out of the cigarettes. They told me echeck was down and they could not refund my money which is over $346.00. They had no problem cashing my check as soon as they received it. I understand there are issues with the attorney general and such BUT I feel the company does have ways to send me back my money as I ordered in plenty of time and it was not in my control that they ran out of the cigarettes and time before the law passed. In researching I saw... read full review »

I bought things from them for the amount of R69.60, but when I tried to pay with my debit card it said insufficient funds, which I knew was impossible. But i then paid cash, after they assured me that it won't go off my account. When I received my statement today i saw that it still went of my account, thus i paid double for the thing i bought.

I have an HTC Vox of less than a year old and it has been in for repairs abt 7 times. Every time I take it in, it only works for a week or 2 & then something else breaks again.

What looked like a safe, clean and relatively upmarket guest house on the internet, turned out to be a dirty, low-budget house with unfriendly, unaccomodating and downright rude hosts.
