Brinks/Broadview
BBRRIIAANN August 3, 2010
We have been Brinks customers since we purchased our home 8 yrs ago. I called to let them know that we were doing construction in our kitchen and we would not need monitoring for 6 months. I said I would like to suspend my service for this time. I recently recieved a bill for the service for the last 6 months. When I called to find out why, after I told them that I do not need the sever, would I have a bill for over $200. The person explained that I did not say CANCEL so they did not stop monitoring. I said, "so why didn't you call u... read full review »

roof repairs, eavestrough cleaning, etc.
TOCATCHATHIEF August 3, 2010
I called the number 647-702-9611 in response to their ad for eavestrough cleaning. This was a $70. job that turned into a $2000.scam nightmare. There are two operators - a short fellow whose name is Julian McKenna climbs the roof, pretends to clean the troughs, cuts a hole in the roof, causing damage and vandalism, comes down to inform you that the roof has "animal damage, infested with raccoon feces, dead birds, etc. etc." He calls his "boss" - chief scammer KYLE to come and give an estimate. This KYLE guy is the brain behind... read full review »

SINCE THE REPELLER IS SUPPOSED TO PRODUCE A SOUND THAT ONLY ANIMALS CAN HEAR IF THEY ARE WITHIN 30 FEET OF THE UNIT, I DO NOT BELIEVE IT DETERS ANY MOVEMENT AT ALL... read full review »

Decks Plus
allrightnow August 2, 2010
Horrible customer service. They act like they are being put out by having to build you a deck, gets very defensive when you question any part of their work. Often promised to be here on a day to work...never called or showed up. Deck took twice the amount of time to build than promised. They purchased additional items to use on the deck, and only used half of the items on my deck, saving the rest for their next job, but they charged me for everything (and will probably do the same to the next customer). Promised to follow up and fix issues with completed deck today and never called or showed up. read full review »

HomeFix Corporation
Jim E August 2, 2010
I needed replacement windows for one of my rental properties and I decided to call Homefix as they run a local ad here. A salesman (I'll leave out his name) showed up an the unit about 30 minutes late. He immediately started looking at the windows and lit a cigarette (indoors). I let that go. After about 10 minutes of inspecting and sizing the windows he excused himself to use the bathroom saying "aw man, I've got the Hershey's squirts... where's the shiiter?" He eventually came out of the bathroom in a very... read full review »

Looking Good Furniture
Comdrade August 2, 2010
We had everything going good on that Sunday morning, when we entered the furniture store a smiling salesmen, a perfect looking queen size bed and reasonable price tag. We swiped half the price as advance (my partner stopped me as i was almost ready to pay full amount). I genuinely liked every thing about the store, although my pessimist colleagues insisted that furniture stores are never to be trusted. Days passed so fast and the day of delivery came and we were eager to welcome our new furniture.. never came, waited for 2 more days never... read full review »

I purchased a new heating and cooling unit from Sears approx. three years ago. The subcontractor hired by Sears installed the unit. For whatever reason, it took him all day to do it. Two months ago the unit froze up. This pass weekend my hallway and bathroom floors were drenched with water. After calling Sears, the rep. told me they could not get anyone out to my house until Thursday, 8/5/10. I explained to the rep. that I have water all over my floor now and I need someone NOW! He put me on hold, came back and told me it will be 8/5/10... read full review »

Henredon Furniture Industries

Ok, well a few years back i bought a very expensive Henredon Cavalier Chest. About $4000. And then all of a sudden my handle just came off. I love my chest to death, but then i go to call upHenredon and they said it would be $25 to replace it. But first of all people don't just buy $4000 chests to have crappy customer service. Im re-thinking of buying Henredon again. I love there furniture, but you cant have bad customer service. Henredon can you please send me out a replacement, so i can continue buying your products. read full review »

We spent THOUSANDS of dollars there furnishing our new condo...first sofa was defective. Difficulty getting it rectified but offered to provide a new sofa at a significant discount. We took it, but it too had cushion defects. The complaint person Doris tells us WE ordered the wrong cushions ("plush" instead of extra firm) even though our designer agreed with us that extra firm was ordered. Originally offered nothing, but with our on-going complaints, offered replacement with NO guarantee. WHAT?? It's their merchandise... read full review »

GE Oven
mike weisman August 1, 2010
I bought a stainless stell GE gas oven less than a month ago and now two of the knobs that adjust the gas for the burners are bubbled up and cracking. This is rediculous that something this expensive is this badly designed. I've found loads of the same complaints on sites like this. The really crazy thing is that it doesn't look like GE has any replacement parts that will rectify the problem. Apparently I'm supposed to just keep sticking the same cheap, chincy knobs on once a moth when the melt! This is where class action lawsuits come from, right? read full review »

I talked to the store manager about the damaged love seat and endtables and I was given new endtables, but told that the love seat would have to... read full review »

Dear concern, This is regarding a construction going in very ill-mannered way at D-73, Ashok Vihar, Phase-1. They are using the entire portion of back lane for throwing their garbage, malwa. They have also constructed 3 kutcha houses for labor working over their resulting lot of mess, bad smell and breeding of mosquitoes and flies as they all do their morning hurdles (toilet and potty). Its a phase when lot of "kaai" has been generated over there. Being a rainy season we are very much concerned of spread of epidemic. Request your support and quick action.

Autogate
davidchin July 31, 2010
Stay away from Vigitronx (Top Ten Alarm - terrible after sales support) and Telcoma (expensive low end Italian system with very limited installations in malaysia), Low quality problematic products, lousy service. The company is dishonest and is only interested in selling their rebranded low cost local system which is rebranded as Vigitronx. They depend on external contractors to install and do not have any in-house technical staff to provide after sales support. I found out that there are no end of complaints and problems with their past Vigitronx and Telcoma installation. read full review »

I switched my phone service to Affordable Phones because they only charge $20.00 a month. Unfortunately, if you ask me, you only get $20.00 worth of service per month as well. Right after I made the switch my phone service went out and it took them several days to come out and run another line. This second line ran from my house to the road, then down the side of the road for a piece before hooking up the next available phone box. They said this second line would be burried in 10 days. It ended up staying there for well over a month and a... read full review »

Furthermore they promise to connect us to 180 of the leading US and Canada TV channels but in reality deliver only 27 channels.

Menards/MidWest Manufacturing/Mastercraft doors
This is my personal WARNING if you are thinking about buying Mastercraft doors made by MidWest Manufacturing. Mastercraft (MC) doors are made by MidWest Manufacturing (MW), a company owned by Menards, Inc. They do not tell you this in the sales process. To me they play down other door manufactures they carry in comparison to the Mastercraft (MC) doors. The MC pre-finished fiberglass door that I purchased was professionally installed and it performed well until Mother Nature rained on it and then it leaked through the window seal.

After receiving a payment of $2300 for material cost up front, Ultimate Iron Works failed to properly staff the job, failed to provide the materials I paid for in advance. After multiple requests to return and perform the scope of work you eventually stop taking my calls never returning to the job, basically becoming unreachable. As a result of unreasonable length of delay, failing to provide and install materials at the time originally anticipated has cause a serious safety problem in my house for family, friends, and guests which conditions include, without limitation, trip hazards, 15 ft. fall hazards.
