I made a special trip by car to the Safeway store in Westlake, CA at 11:45 a.m. and learned from an employee that the store was out of this item. He advised me to get a rain check! Although handicapped I waited in a checkout line to get this raincheck. The cashier refused my request. I asked her to check with the customer-service desk... read full review »

I went to a place called Ambrosia Medical Spa to have a some basic treatments done on my face to make my skin look and feel refreshed. During the visit I was talked into doing a skin peel on my chest as well and was told unequivocally that it would completely smooth out any imperfections in my skin. Sadly it did not - It instead left me with severe hyper-pigmentation! At no time during the hurried session was I told about any potential side effects of the procedure. The girl was a very good "salesperson" talking exuberantly about... read full review »

This summer I checked into the Wingate hotel in Allentown, Pa with my daughter. I booked through expedia on the phone. I brought up our luggage with the luggage cart, went out and when I returned had more things to bring to the room, which I was planning to stay in for three days.

We waited. And waited. She disappeared from behind the desk... read full review »

Our room rate was quoted at $71 per night when we were charged $79.00 per night upon departure. The manager Kerry refused to adjust the bill. Upon further research we found out that the person who booked our room was fired the week before for not giving customers the correct room rates. Instead of adjusting the room rate to make good on the fired persons quote the manager ignored our complaint. Manager knew about the reservation clerk being fired and didn't acknowledge that fact to us. Very deceitful. read full review »

My husband & I booked a room at the European Village in Palm Coast, FL for a 1 night stay on a Saturday night. The resort and amentiies looked nice and upscale, we even liked our room!

Soon after we arrived back at our room we realized that we were directly above a nightclub. We knew they had nightlife around the resort, but that wasn't the problem.

I received an offer in the mail to earn some extra money with Dry Tech services as a "lead finder". I usually trash these kinds of ads even before opening the envelope but since I had heard of Dry Tech before, I read the offer and it sounded like a fair deal.

The information stated many promises of commissions awarded for each prospect that would reply to the fliers that I was to put out... read full review »

Fleetwood homes has a problem, and I really can't understand why you would continue to allow what I see as just plain poor quality control to affect your reputation. When I purchased my home I was happy to find an alternative to a stick built home. Something which was built faster and as your brochures state much better and healtheir. Now having gone through the horror of owning one, I am just so angry that I was so taken. The list of damages to my "new" home ranged from bowed walls, to unsecured plumbing, to electrical shortcut... read full review »

I was happy to move into my house in June 2007. In Oct., I noticed a leak from the roof in the garage.Being that the roof is only 3 years old, I called Martin and Sons to honor the 10 year warranty and come fix the roof.They finally came out after several weeks after I complained that I had put a log in the fireplace and the house quickly filled up with smoke (yes..the flue was open).

We want to warn consumers about companies that purport themselves as green, or environmentally minded. In actuality, they likely are, as in our case, taking advantage of unsuspecting homeowners – taking more “green” than they are giving. A few months ago we were taken by one such company, Spring Air, Inc in Jacksonville, Oregon (810 N. 5th St, Jacksonville, OR 97530). In particular, they illegally inflated pricing of equivalent lower cost equipment and services, misrepresenting it as environmentally friendly and... read full review »

On May of 2006 I hired Valley Management to legalize my 2 family dwellings to a 3 family dwelling. They asked for a 7000.00 retainer fee to get the process going and it is now 2 years latter and nothing has been done. I tried to contact the Tulley Camino the owner of the company and I get no response back nor does he keep his appointments. I have filed a complaint with Consumer Affair as well as the BBB. I know of another customer of his that he has taken them for a ride as well. I strongly believe that this company is notorious for taking consumer money. read full review »

Specifically, we wanted 120 square feet of tile installed in two bathrooms and a short set of stairs from our back deck to our yard.
