Don't ever buy from Directgardening.com or www.eBurgess.com. These 2 companies are affiliated. I purchased 4 different types of shrubs about 2 weeks ago - Winter Hardy Boxwood, Forsythia, Purple Smoke Bush, and Spicy Sweet Shrub. Yesterday I got a package (a green bag) outside of my house. I opened the bag, and I found some single thin branches in it, and they just look like dead wood single branches but with roots. I was wondering who was playing a joke with me and put dead wood branches outside of my house. I then look carefully at... read full review »

I guess it is typical for propane dealers not to send out bills. When they make a delivery, they leave a bill and you are expected to pay it in a timely fashion. Ok idea, although i am used to dealing with a utility company that bills monthly for usage, but that's my problem... Having said that, we added a gas dryer to our house in march. We had to have the propane supplier come out and modify the dryer from natural gas to propane. I knew there would be a service charge, the man who came out was very nice and handed me a receipt for... read full review »

This letter is a complaint about the SST/Providian credit card. I have never dealt with such an obnoxious, rude customer service department in all my credit history! When I told them I was paying off and closing the account, I was told the amount on the statement was not the amount due--I would have to pay an extra $113 in finance charges to close the account! What the hell is this? Every other credit card I have ever paid off excepts the amount shown on the statement, and gives me a $0 balance. Not SST! When my account was 2 days past due... read full review »

While visiting Kevin Trudeau's Natural Cures website at www.naturalcures.com, I signed up for a "FREE" 7-day trial of the website newsletter. Within that "FREE" 7-day trial, I canceled the subscription following the website instructions. The website claims that if you cancel within the 7-days, you will not be billed. One month later, I received a charge of $9.95 on my credit card and promptly revisited the site only to find that I could not log in to it. I then sent an email to the web address provided for cancellations at... read full review »

I recently purchased Corel Knockout2 at a retail store ($99.99). The minimum requirements on the outside of the box stated the program would run on Mac OS X, and Adobe Photoshop 5 or higher. The package was printed in Aug 2006. After opening the box and reading the readme file on the disk I saw that it would work only on Mac OS X.3, not the current OS x.4.9, the current version and Photoshop 5, 6, or 7, not the current CS2 or CS3. After spending 4 hours trying to email Corel from their website (didn't work), and spending over an hour on... read full review »

There is no coincidence when this many people start complaining. So what if the loans are subprime, Wells Fargo, as the investor, should still insist on workouts with Consumers, especially knowing full well industry conditions. Wells Fargo has a history of bad business practices, cleaned up their act once, now appear to be getting back into old habits. To the public, they look like Washington Mutual and Beneficial Finance rolled into one. How long is Government going to stand by and let these Big Boys abuse consumers. I say, "the bigger they are, the harder they fall." read full review »

THSALE.com & ItemRate.com ARE SAME COMPANY AND ARE SCAMMERS!!! They are scammers and do not conduct business in a fair and ethical way!

They refuse to do anything about it and gave me the ‘run-around’ for the last two weeks.

I was told to contact a certain courier company and give them my personal info along with the "secret" number so I could claim my 750,000 pounds sterling(I guess thats what that funky symbol is). After a little research, I found there is no "Brittish" Nat'l Lottery. I would guess that when I contacted the number given, they would in turn ask me for money so they could send me my "winnings."--- Do people really fall for this crap! read full review »

I had shopped at another Macy's (Smithhaven Mall) where I received an additional 50% discount on 3-4 designer names yesterday. I went to Macy's Hampton Bays today, and asked the sales lady about the additional sale. She informed me she knew nothing about it. Not knowing is not an answer. Upon pressing her to find out, I asked to see her Manager. The woman (Fanny, 265855)showed up huffing and puffing, advised me that I was already told that they "knew nothing about it" When I asked her to make a call and find out, she... read full review »

Earlier this year I went to them as a smog check only (i think it's called) place to participate in this program dmv has for car owners who's car does not pass smog. They replaced one thing for $500 then wanted to replace something else that would make the total big to $1500 minus the $400 or 500 the program pays. The second issue was discussed over the phone & I refused. When I picked up the car I asked for the quote w/the additional amount & they said they deleted it, but could re-do it and fax it.

I opened an account with Juniper/Barclay's in May 2007. I requested a balance transfer of a Well's Fargo deferred interest account in June 2007. Juniper/Barclay's paid the wrong person. A representative from Juniper/Barclay's said the account numbers were "not clear" so they "matched" the account numbers. Why would they be so careless considering they have all my contact information including my SSN? They eventually retrieve the monies & paid Well's Fargo, after the deferred interest promotion... read full review »

I was in the Hardees in Rushville, IL yesterday and it was so hot in there we had to leave. I was told the air conditioner had been broken for approximately a week. It could not be fixed because the person in charge was on vacation and no one else was authorized to call for repair. It would not be fixed until this person returned. This is too stupid for words. Someone should be appointed to handle emergencies in the absence of boss, manager, etc. I live in Rushville, but I won't return until cool weather, if then. This is outrageous and no way to run a business. read full review »

My mother-in-law reserved a car through the internet with Travelvelocity through Car Rental Express. She was given a confirmation number with Autorent - San Diego.

So I brought it there, they gave me a loaner vehicle and told me that they would call me the next day and let me know what was wrong. They finally called three days later, letting me know that it was something in the engine, a part they would have to replace, and by doing so they would also have to replace the water pump to get to it. So I told them to of course, go for... read full review »

This is the first time that I have encountered a mortgage company that calls daily after the 1st of the month to ask when they can expect my payment. The payment is due between the 1st and the 16th but by the 2nd, they are calling. In the past, I have dealt with Ameriquest and Countrywide and never had anyone call to find out when or if a payment should be expected. They even suggested once that I make a payment over the phone by cheque, cost - $22.00 to avoid late fees, and still charged me a late fee. What is going on with this company. read full review »
