Bensons for Beds
July 4, 2007
Bensons for beds - Kingsgate East Kilbride branch. My experience with Bensons for Beds is very similar to the other complaint about their lack of service and faulty goods on this site. I only wish I had read it before making a purchase at our local branch. We paid in advance for two sets of bedside drawers which were to be collected from the shop. On the day - 22nd May 2007 I went in to pay the balance and was told that my husband could collect them from the back door but to come upstairs (Bensons is on the first floor of a Harvey... read full review »

Mattress Land & Carpet Land
July 4, 2007
This past November, I purchased a carpet from the Carpet Land store in Falls Church. An employee scratched the paint of the roof of my Jeep by sliding the carpet without any protection. A significant amount of paint was scratched off, all the way to the front of the roof. After speaking with the manager and calling the supervising manager, no one was willing to accept any responsibility or offer any help. In fact, they blamed ME for not accepting their delivery service (for an additional $ 35)!!! After a few more weeks of trying to... read full review »

Mannington Porcelain
July 4, 2007
We recently installed Mannington's Carmel (their newest product) porcelain tiles in our kitchen and only after installation we noticed the tiles are warped in the middle. Every tile has a small arch which is clearly noticeable. When we walk we can feel that the surface is not even with ups and downs. When I called Mannington, they said they cannot entertain any claims because their warranty states I should have called them before installation. But the fact is they supplied a defective material to start with. I had spent so much... read full review »

Be prepared for a long wait for blinds when shopping for blinds at the Expo Design Center owned by Home Depot. I have three windows with arches that I wanted to have honeycomb blinds put on. The installer came out to measure and do the templates for the arches. I placed the order for the blinds. Three weeks later, they called to tell me that the blinds I ordered don't come in the size I needed for the arches. I picked out a new fabric and asked them again to order them. I was told they would arrive three weeks later. On the Wednesday of... read full review »

Jenn Air Refrigerator
July 3, 2007
I have had my side-by-side Jenn Air Refrigerator for about 7-8 years. This is the third time that I have had to throw away all of the food because the refrigerator stopped cooling. What a miserable product. Instead of having it repaired and wasting another hundred or two hundred dollars I decided to purchase a new one. The prices are sky high. The salesman tried to sell me an extended warranty by saying these aren't made to last! I thought that a new one without the water and ice making features might be less likely to malfunction--but... read full review »

TriStar Vacuum Cleaners
July 3, 2007
Yesterday, a car drove into my neighbor's driveway about 3:00 PM. Two men went to the door. At about 8:00 PM they left. My neighbor usually retires for the evening around that time, if not earlier. At a few minutes before 9:00 PM, a young man (no car) walks up to my door and rings the bell. Amidst ferocious barking by my dogs (they know it's too late for people to walk up to your door). I asked through the jalousy door, "It's 9:00 PM, whatever you're selling, I'm not interested in it." He then responds in an... read full review »

Indane Gas / Kalpana Gas agency - Vijaynagar, Bangalore
July 3, 2007
Kalpana Gas agency - Vijaynagar - 2nd stage - Bangalore. This agency serves Indane gas agency. They provide very poor service. They have 12 phone lines. But every time it comes busy. Sometimes the phone rings but the agency people pick up the receiver and keep it aside without answering the call. If you have to book a cylinder, you need to go there personally. I have never ever seen such a poor serviced Gas agency who never responds to customers. read full review »

Magic Screens

On April 2, 2007 I put a $300 deposit down for a pair of retractable french door screens with the Wizard dealer in Tucson & Phoenix, AZ -- Magic Screens. Delivery was to be 2 1/2 - 3 weeks later. Despite DOZENS of emails, phonecalls, contact with the manufacturer, and lies, as of July 3 I still have no screens. Owners, Mr. and Mrs. S. Foschia refuse to return my calls or refund my $300.00 deposit. They have not responded to the Better Business Bureau's two letters. Avoid this outfit *like the plague*!

Beware - this company claims to have been doing business for 37 years but most of their painters have very little experience. They talk a good talk but the outcome is far from what most people are expecting. This was the worst experience I have ever had. The bid for an exterior paint job included scraping, sanding, caulking and filling nail holes, also spot priming as needed. None of this occurred. They arrived at my home at 7:00 a.m. in the morning, took two breaks (one to wait for the owner to deliver the paint), and were finished by... read full review »

We purchased the Kenmore Trio Elite Refrigerator in early 2005. Two months later, the ice-maker was not producing ice. They came out and fixed it. One year later the freezer died. No cold air. Everything had to be thrown out. They said it would take almost a week to fix and costs me lots of $$$. I am very disappointed with Sears Customer Service and this refrigerator. I spent almost $2400... I should have shelled out an additional $500 and purchased a Thermador! Sears should be ashamed for selling a product that is defective. read full review »

APC / BI800I Inverter
July 1, 2007
No one in their right minds would consider buying APC inverters. I bought one in 2005, and its never worked three consecutive months. Even a local APC service center personnel admitted the numerous problems APC inverters have. Now its 3 months since I am awaiting change of batteries and perhaps the inverter itself. Imagine having bought the most expensive APC and spending the whole summer without its benefit. Its now lying dead in its corner. The company says it doesn't have batteries. This is a lie because the inverters are still available in the market and they can't be sold without batteries. read full review »
