Go ahead and post your “Avoid this company list”

I got my droid a couple months ago, and I was browsing around Amazon when I came across car chargers for $.75 a piece. I figured they’d be pieces of crap but for 75 cents, I couldn’t go wrong. I ordered through Amazon with a company called AccessoryOne. The total came up to ~7.50 with shipping and tax for 2 chargers (one for me one for the GF). The order was placed February 28th, as of today I haven’t received so much as a box or tracking number from them. I wouldn’t mind so much if I received them and they sucked, but I paid for something I never got. Below is the coorispondance I’ve had with them.

CC chargeback :tup:

Plugging a $100+ phone into a $.75 charger :lol:

4

right? i’ll never understand it…

edit: and its more like a $600+ phone when you look at retail cost.

5

Yeah, I know…I recently cashed in on a deal at the Verizon online store…I ordered 2 of the car chargers, multimedia docks, and GPS holders. Free overnight shipping and they were on sale. I think it was like $100 for the 6 items.

I love the part where he gives you the ultimatum… “remove your comments OR ELSE!” :rofl:

So, you’re out a whole $7.50?

7

Yeah, it doesn’t work like that lol.
I know it’s a crappy 7 bucks, but the point of the matter is I just gave away 7.50 and got nothing. Not even a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Did you refuse to accept the package or something?

9

Nope, cause I don’t live in Lockport nor Rochester. Between my dad and my brother there is almost always someone at my house to receive the package too. Also, I was never given this tracking number until I contacted them and they sent me that link.

10

The trucks leave from places far away sometimes.

I had a package come to my house last week that was from a sorting facility 1.5 hours away

maybe you weren’t home and the little tag they usually leave blew away/

11

It’s possible that could have happened but then the tracking info makes no sense. I live in tonawanda, so why would they be out for delivery in Lockport :shrug:

Sounds like they are using Fedex SMARTPOST or a similar service.

It is a shitty economy service where fedex ships your package to the USPS HUB and lets the mail man bring the package to you.

It is very slow, I had ordered a pair of shoes that had to come from California. It took two weeks.

13

I ate at “Friendly’s” near the McKinley mall. The service was very unfriendly, I will never go back.

14

Abercrombie & Fitch: Had to do some case studies on the shit they pull and get away with it because nobody they do it to has deep enough pockets to compete with their legal team. Not to mention the clothes being overpriced shit.

15

Never buy from Tiger Direct!

Mail order pharmacies. :tdown: Never ever ever use one if at all possible. I worked in a pharmacy long enough to know the value of having one pharmacy and a relationship with the pharmacist, but now I’m getting first hand experience with the organizational clusterfuck that is a mail order pharmacy.

Doctor prescribed some stuff for the wife. Blue Choice says they’ll only cover it if bought through mail order pharmacy. I was out of town, but apparently mother in law spent hours on the phone and threaten action with a consumer advocacy group to get the mail order pharmacy to get their act together. Finally we get the medicine. I get billed in December, I paid 2 weeks later. I get billed again in February, forgot that I already paid, paid again. Now I caught it and come to realize that the mail order pharmacy is somehow two seperate entities: Medco and Accredo. They both billed me. Now it’s a clusterfuck trying to get refunded. I have no idea why there are two seperate companies involved in addition to blue choice.

Thank God a single payer system wasn’t part of the healthcare “reform.”

Stuff like what? Douse the store in crappy cologne?

18

A lot of Rx plans mandate that if you have an Rx that prescribed longer than 90 days, you have to go mail-order.

The truck leaves from the facility in Lockport to deliver your package to Tonawanda… What is so difficult to understand about that?

New York State

Beware that your tax refund won’t arrive until April, no matter if you filed in Jan.
