Sears Portrait Studio Garden City, NY Re: Sears Portrait Needs to Understand Cultural Customs (Order # ) It was our first portrait experience with Sears. My family had a very good photo session with Keira. Compared to The Picture People, where we usually go, our photo shoot at Sears was relaxing. Keira made sure we liked all of the poses. She also helped us choose the poses and number of each print in our order. We spent some time with our order, but we felt unrushed and appreciated Keira's input. However, when we... read full review »

I ordered a Gibson RB-250 Mastertone banjo from Musician's Friend on the web (www.musiciansfriend.com <http://www.musiciansfriend.com/> ) several months ago. The item was backordered for some time, and I don't blame Musician's Friend for that. However, when the item was shipped it went to the wrong address. After they cancelled then reissued my order, presumably due to the backorder problems, they failed to transfer the correct shipping address to the reissued order. When I initially received this reissue confirmation, I... read full review »

I am complaining about the internet service of Charter Communications. If you have any option for cable internet service other than Charter, I would *strongly* suggest that you get it! 1) Although they do offer 24/7 tech. support, the quality of that support is *very* poor! The techs. know very little and keep telling you the same thing!!! 2) There is no way that you can be notified of incoming mail--- you have to keep checking--- therefore many unwarranted "hits" on Charter!!! 3) Every 5 times you request "mail"... read full review »

I tried to join this company for downloading but you had to give your personal details before you even placed an order. After giving all the details, I then tried to order a life-time membership but every time I pressed to carry on with the order, the amount charged kept coming up at 41.76 instead of around 18. There was no contact telephone number, e-mail address etc. to sort out the problem so in the end I left it incomplete. I then received credit card statement with the amount of 41.76 deducted from a company called DLDGUIDE.COM. I... read full review »

A&A Bedrooms(aka: Ergo-Pedic Sleey Systema, aka: American General Finance Company) sold me a bed for which I paid $2300.00. The same month that my full payment of $2300.00 was made, I received a statement from GMAC stating that I owe 2600.00 for the same bed. In my research, I found that although A&A and Ergo-Pedic both went out of business, they share a post office box with American General Finance Company. It is clear to me that this was not a mistake, this was deliberate. This if fraud. I would like to have a class action case... read full review »

I purchased a ceiling fan and installed per the manufacturers directions. The fan stopped turning after two months of operation. When I called Hampton's customer service they told me sounded like a capacitor problem. They told me they would mail me the part with instructions on how to repair. The part came with no instructions and when I called back the technical rep displayed the rudest behavior that I have ever encountered. I finally informed him to just mail the instructions and I would figure it out. When I opened the fan to repair... read full review »

Simon St. Johns Center Mall, Jacksonville, FL In June, 2006 I earned two $500 Simon Mall gift cards through work. I used one, but saved the other to use for a trip in June, 2007.

He didn't and I called the customer service number listed on the card. It is a card center in India. The people are very polite, but ineffective. They advised that someone named Stephen Jones had reported my card as lost... read full review »

MyEyeDr at Ballston, Virginia I would greatly deter anyone from going to MyEyeDr. I bought a pair of glasses from the Ballston, VA location. Before purchasing the glasses, I asked the technician several times regarding lightest weight options for my prescription since it's so high. He basically brushed my questions off & rushed me into getting expensive metal frames. When I asked at one point if I should get plastic, he brushed me off & stated that he already started writing the bill & that the metal frames were better... read full review »

This is a copy/paste from my Better Business Bureau complaint: During 2006 and the first half of 2007, MCHost.com double charged me several times for my account/website that was hosted through their online service. After much complaining and persistence, they reversed many of the "double" charges. However, after the last incident(April 2007), which they do not dispute, I incurred well over $1,500 in charges and expenses. Most of these were fees from my bank. Other fees included those for bounced checks. I've lost numerou... read full review »

In early June I made a reservation for Saturday, August 4, 2007. As the date approached, I wanted to confirm my reservation. I contacted Riverview Lodge and asked for confirmation of my reservation.

I gave my confirmation number, asked that they checked different spellings of my name. I was told I had no reservation, that maybe I “booked it at another hotel by accident”, or that I booked it “under a... read full review »

My wife and I recently moved into a Condo in Maryland. We were shocked to receive our first energy bill of ~300 dollars for the first month. This was a surprise to us considering we are rarely home and do not use the A/C often. I suspected they were reading the wrong meter. I first called PEPCO on July 16th and the company said they would send a someone out from the meter department. On July 20th a fellow came out and we were able to deduce that the company was in fact reading the wrong meter. We did this by tripping the circuit breaker... read full review »

I recently purchased 2 Halogen Head lamps from Advance Auto Parts, the sales person was polite and asked if I needed two or 1. I stated that I should probably get two because I was not sure if both Higbeams were out or not and told him if it doesn't work I will just return them. After getting home and determining the bulb(s) were not the cause, I tried to return the bulbs 1.5 hours later. I was then told that because I had touched the bulbs I could not return them and that they were no good anymore. I am now trying to understand how... read full review »
