The Tile and Iron Studio
July 22, 2008
I ordered a hand-made address plaque from the Tile and Iron Studio, for two friends who just got married and are starting a new home. I received an email stating that the company would need longer than I anticipated to produce and ship the item by the requested date (the date of the wedding). I asked if there were any way to move the delivery date forward, as I was trying to have the item in hand by the date of the wedding. I received a short email back from Steve Chwedoruk stating that they would move my order to the front of the line. I... read full review »

Samsung Electronic

I am having to return the same DVD Player for a second time in less than a year of purchase. I have also had to exchange the home theater I purchased the same day. The TV that came with the package is also substandard. I cannot believe these products are allowed to be sold if they cannot even last a year. Before some start saying I have overused them, I only watch DVDs maybe twice a month and have used the home theater's cd player a handful of times, the last time it broke down. I listen to the radio or MP3 player... I unsatisfied with... read full review »

Ultra green tea
July 21, 2008
I ordered the free trial of this product. On the same day as I ordered it they charged my credit card $6.95 for the shipping, and 37.75 for the free product. Then on July 4th they charged my account another $69.87 and I didn't even receive the product until the 9th of July. I call the company and I was given until the 24th of July to try the product but they didn't tell me that I was already in debt for $114.57. Today is the 21st of July and it should be really interesting to see what I will owe them by the time I get this FARCE stopped. read full review »

Faraz Auto Sales Ltd.

My son bought a car from Faraz auto sales and traded in his Mazda 6 .The dealership put on new plates (without asking if he wanted new plates), so when he arrived the new car had new plates. the dealership did not take off the old plates from the mazda.We discovered this because we received a bill from the 407 for 81 dollars yesterday. I am sure there will be more for July. He bought the car on june 6th and his car with his old license plates were used on June 9th-june 16th on the 407.

ADMIRAL INN NIAGARA FALL CA
July 20, 2008
Do not beleve the website pictures. This is not an Inn in the hotel sense but a tired grubby old motel. We paid $217.80 for 2 nights bed ad breakfast. This was not worth it, other hotels close had cheaper prices and crutialy were much better stadards. The Asian (india) owners / managers advertise 2 stars, which is unbelivable, and advertise on the web as free breakfast, which they do not deliver. There are no breakfast facilities so instead they tell you to come to reception in the morning for a voucher. The voucher turns out to be a hand... read full review »

Ole' Hairstudio/Great Lengths Hair Extensions
July 19, 2008
In June 2008 I had Great Lengths Hair Extensions applied to my hair by the owner of Ole' Hairstudio {Rena} in Spruce Grove, Alberta, Canada. Within the first three days the extensions began falling out. I was extremely cautious in handling the hair and was sure to follow the instructions very carefully. The extensions continued to fall out inspite of this care. The owner/technician {Rena} was on holidays for a month after the application. I tried to leave messages on her voice mail but the voice mail box was full. When she returned from... read full review »

When I walked into the store, a large man met me before I had stepped foot inside. I was preceded by my daughter and her friend, both 15. One however is fairly short, but does not have the body of a child if one looks. I was told by the man to watch out for my 'little one'. I looked around, confused by what he meant, sure that I would see some young child running about the store, and asked, "Little ones?" He replied, shaking his head, "yes, there are things of adult nature here for women so watch your... read full review »

Kraft Shredded Parmesan
July 18, 2008
I have bought this product regularly for several years. Last time I purchased I noted the new easy-to-open package and also the increased price. I subsequently noticed that the package contained considerably less product than in the previous packaging. The general increase in prices due to fuel costs, etc. is to be expected. The attempt to trick customers by re-packaging and giving less value for money is not appreciated - it smacks of opportunism and bad customer service. I have decided to use another supplier read full review »

College Home Hardware
July 18, 2008
I bought a cam of Beauty Tone spray paint ath this store yesterday (July 16). A can of spray paint is supposed to cover 25sq feet. This one only covered about 6sq feet and the paint was over! I went back to the store, explained what happened and the store manager said that it was not possible for the can to have been used before, laughed at me in front of other customers, as if I was lying. Obviously, there was some problem with that can - it either had been previously used or there was some fabrication defect (it's a HomeHardware product). None of this was taken into consideration by the rude manager. read full review »

LeRae the owner had entered into a contract with me for services and despite over 10 phone calls and emails, she has failed to make good on her promise to pay. I just have a problem with business owners who turn out to be deadbeats yet still solicit business and expect others to pay.

Teppermans
July 18, 2008
We purchased a love seat and couch and when we purchased it the salesman told us to take out the extended warranty and that it will cover any problems we will ever have during the warranty period. Our pillows have lost their shape and are coming off of the couch. We phoned and were told that the warranty does not cover pillows and just covers tears. This is a complete rip off and borders on fraud. read full review »

Sonny came highly recommended for our bathroom renovation. At first, he was super nice. Then he did our countertop wrong, instead of wall to wall, he decided he would leave each end 3 inches short!!! Who the heck does that. Then he blamed me for that... Then the subcontractors he got for the countertop cut the wrong hole size for the sinks. At first he said that was how it was suppose to be. Come on, does he think I was born yesterday? So instead of admitting they cut out the holes wrong, he got new sinks to fill the holes. Then the plumber... read full review »

Purchased this rather expensive bed & mattress set in 1999. (Total purchase was $ 3, 831.94) Had the sleighbed for not even a month and had to return the "Foot board" due to a manufacturing error in the workmanship of the wood. The wood was splitting at the foot bases/stands. We are having the same problem again where a large portion of the wood has split away from the side rails. The bedframe does not get moved as it is sitting on wood floors in a large bedroom. When the bedframe was assembled it was also equipped with pad... read full review »

The Internet connection plan that the company advertises comes with the laptop (provided that the customer signs the 3 year plan). The laptop that they advertise is Dell Inspiron 1525. They advertise it as valued at $689 CAD. However upon checking the Dell.ca website one will find that the Laptop is actually valued at $499 CAD. I found the $190 dollar discrepancy rather large and called the company to find out why they advertise a false value.

The food in this restaurant was adequate (not great) however there was one visible staff member to look after the entire restaurant!! Yes, that is for drinks and the meal service!! The price was over the top $123.03 for the smallest steaks on the menu, a salad, a glass Sprite and a juice. But what galled me was the waitress adding 18% to the actual bill for her service!! When the credit card slip arrived she had written $123.03 next to amount and then $22.15 next to the tip for a totsl fee of $145.18. Was that not my perogative to decide what tip? read full review »

North American Lottery Inc.

I received a check to pay taxes on a lottery that I supposedly won. Of course, they did not want to send me the 50K check because of possible identification fraud. The Alabama city that I live in is a fairly depressed area. This lottery makes me think that some poor soul in this area will think they've hit the big time and send the tax money (by Western Union) and then find out that the lottery check sent to cover taxes, never clears. read full review »

The front driver side coil springs on my 2002 Ford Taurus snapped as I was backing the car up. It tore the tire (which was new) and the tire "exploded". Luckily I was not on the highway or I would have lost control. This is a HUGE problem with this vehicle and earlier models were recalled. Ford refuses to acknowledge this and tells me it was a "coincidence" that it happened to me. There are hundreds of documented U.S. cases on mycarstats.com.
