Those who like this product have just purchased it wait for some more time and you will get to know how "good" it really is...

Company: Sharper�Image
Address : 350�the�Embarcadero, 6th�Floor, San�Francisco, CA 94105, United States

I was given an Ionic Breeze as a gift in Dec. 2001. It lasted less than six months before starting to buzz and crackle--even after just cleaning it! I brought it back to the Sharper Image and they replaced it--no problems. The replacement unit lasted another six months ago before it was back to the Sharper Image. This happened a number of times before I got a unit that lasted two whole years! Then it started buzzing and crackling and no frequency or thoroughness of cleaning helped. I brought it back to the Sharper Image since the warranty on the unit indicated it was a full five year warranty as of 4/04.
This time I'm told they've changed their replacement policy so that they only will replace the unit for the length of time of the warranty on the original unit--which unfortunately for me was 3 years when the original unit was purchased. Of course, when the original unit was purchased, their new replacement policy wasn't in effect--so why is the three years applicable, but not the original policy at time of purchase? I was told I could purchase a new unit--with only a one year warranty as they apparently not stupid enough to stand behind these defective products longer than that. The new units, I was told, have been redesigned and don't have the problems that old ones did. Um, like you have such an awesome track record with quality?
For those of you defending this shoddy piece of equipment, I notice most of you have only been using the product for two
months. It worked fine for me too the first couple of months. Write a review in six months. Or a year. Watch as your beloved
Ionic Breeze crackles and pops unabated with daily cleanings--right after your warranty expires. Then tell us all how much you love this product and the rest of us must not be caring.

Company: CheapoAir.com
Address : CHEAPO AIR, 213 West 35th Street, Suite 1201, New York, NY 10001, United States
URL: WWW.CheapoAir.com

It was during the time of Christmas I decided to take my family out station, as I was along time I had not spared time for them and therefore made all the reservation before to avoid and discomfort, as it was vacation time it would be all packed and therefore booked the air tickets through internet from cheapo air. I purchased 5 tickets round trip to Mexico City for Christmas. We called Aztecan Airlines December 15, 2006 to check on our flight and found out that Aztecan had canceled all flights out of the USA. But why/ I don't know nor do I understand that why were we not informed about the cancellation I only learnt that it was cancelled when I reached the airport to board the flight, it was awful, with a lot of difficulty I had spared some time for the family and these and let me down, I was very upset and so I called Cheapo Air.com several times but no one answered and so I left massages even after this I did not get any call and therefore emailed them but see they never answered, it did not help me in getting nay results. They never had the courtesy to let us know and there customer service is an absolute joke. After all I had paid for the tickets and I had to get back my money. My vacation was all spoiled but why should I let my money go. Do not use this company to book your flights as you will be left high and dry.
I feel that I am going to lose $2,800 for tickets that can not be used. But I am trying my best and hope to get it back.

Company: Kensington Group
Address : 1357 Broadway Suite 260, New York, NY 10018, United States

I and my husband had decided upon to adopt a child as I was not able to carry and even after many treatments it didn't work.
Now I was fad up of all the treatments and decided to go for an adoption. I had gotten a green card from this company in march and I called because I was going to use them to pay some bills to me and my husband was trying to adopt a child so we were looking to get some grants to help pay for the fees. Anyway when I called them I talked to them and I went through the process I finished that and 2-3 mins later I called them back to cancel and they told me that they couldn't do anything to cancel it because it had already been processed and said that I need to send it back when I get it. I got the package in may and I sent it back the same say they got the mail back but I am still waiting on my refund they told me they were giving me my money back in July and I am still waiting I got proof that I didn't get the money through my bank and all the company can tell me is call back next week the CCR company is suppose to be the refund company and they act like they don't know anything at all about the company's number nothing I am going to sue this company both of them Kensington and C.C.R company if there is some. I am so disturbed that I am not able to understand what should I do?

They are not at all sincere and are big frauds!!!

Company: On rebate - Tiger Direct
Address : 120 East Palmetto Park Road, 3rd Floor, Boca Raton, FL 33432, United States
URL: www.onrebate.com

I purchase a 17 monitor from Tiger direct which came with a $70.00 rebate which is handled through Onrebate.com. I received the monitor fine, but that is where fine ended! I gathered all of my rebate information and printed all of the appropriate forms; I had the proofs of purchase, my online receipt from tiger direct and online statement from pay pal. I sent them the pay pal statement as well as the online invoice which I received from Tiger direct. I signed the paper work and made sure that everything was in order. I sent my paper work and my signature to Onrebate.com everything that was done online through Onrebate.com was accepted, but a week later I received an email stating that my rebate was denied because I did not include an original invoice or packing slip. Since this is an online purchase, tiger direct does not mail original invoices and there was no packing slip on or in the box. Tiger direct and Onrebate.com have both been contacted and sent numerous emails explaining my situation and asking for help. They have my money and care nothing about helping! They are partners and together I feel that they have deceived me and many others by making it virtually impossible to get an honest rebate. I am preparing to file complaints with the attorney general, the better business bureau, and I am going to try to see if pay pal can get involved. This clearly seems to be a dishonest way of doing business. Never opt they as they are not at all sincere and are big frauds!

They are not worth your time...

Company: HH Greg
Address : 4161 E 96th St, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240, United States

I bought a 27" Sony television from HH Gregg a few years ago; I paid some extra amount $99 for extended warranty. This past October, the TV stopped working, so I brought it in to HH Gregg in Indianapolis for repair, along with a detailed list of the problems. Even after coming back few weeks later I was shocked to find that nothing was fixed; it was very difficult for me to come again to fetch the TV due to the shortage of time. They had done an "alignment" of my TV, but it still didn't work, what does alignment means? Anyways it was too much and I decided to get back the TV and so I brought it back. It's now nearing the middle of December, and my TV is still not repaired. It's only a 27 CRT television -- it's not plasma, LCD, or other high tech kind of appliance. Yet they don't know when it will be repaired. The customer service representative suggested that I call their service contractor myself and inquire if I so choose. I was blown up and decided to get anew one instead of repairing and so I asked for the service, as it was difficult to bear more frustration and time spent on hold.
But they refused and so I thought at least the $ 99 which I had spend for extended warranty should be refunded but no it was
all in vain they said that it was not possible. I explained that what the use of this warranty was if they could not fix the TV on time. They said they couldn't do that. Only if something goes in for repair three times or is deemed not repairable will they consider refunding a service contract. I'd advise anyone who lives in a town with HH Gregg stores to avoid them. They are not an honorable company, and they don't seem to care about the satisfaction of their customers. I am sure that it's a mere trick of minting money on behave of the extended warranty which is not at all use full. And no matter where you shop, don't buy an extended warranty. It's never worth it.

URL: www.eBay.com

My entire family is lover of sports activity and always start up their day going for jogging or some other activity like playing foot ball or tennis, but my husband who had started with the problem of body pain after his routine work out I guess may be because of his age, was very much in pain so I ordered for this pain relief spray through the internet and in no much time of delay received it, even after the use of the spray my husband felt no relief it was just for few minutes and later back with the pain, has it costed a good amount I decided to stop the use because it was not showing any 1% improvement. But after few days I found that I was send another bottle which I had not even ordered.What's more, the company automatically sends product every month charging your credit card with out approval.I called the customer service department and complain about this form of sale. I told them I was not aware and did not approve automatic shipments. With out any apologies they have cancelled my account, told me to return the 2nd bottle I only got the credit for product but not shipment and handling charge. Is that kind of tactics that really sends warning that something is not right? I will strongly recommend not buy any of their products. And remember never to disclose your credit number. This is the product which never works.

Company: New York Texas Cheesecake Company
Address : 211 N. Palestine, Athens, Texas 75751, United States
URL: nytxccc.com

Oh! So a great festival Christmas was coming and I was thinking about the gifts for my family members, thinking of a gift is a very difficult job but I some how managed to decide what to gift? And whom? So after along deciding I thought that it would be best to order for the cheese cake which is the favorite of most, and so I ordered one of the overpriced cheesecakes for a Christmas gift to be delivered to a family member. The company boasts of 2 day delivery, this was indeed ok with me but I learnt later that it was not 2 days but 3 days but see the joke it was not even delivered the 3rd day and was not even shipped for 4 days after it was ordered and when it did arrive at destination it was a melted mess not at all fresh and it appeared dirty and was not at all edible. Their web site flashes a 100% unconditional guarantee of satisfaction. They refused to honor this and asked me to file a claim with the delivery company they contracted with for delivery of the cake.
I have no acct with the delivery company and no way to file a claim since they are not doing business with me. So guy's
beware they will not send the $50 cheesecake they promise! Their guarantee is worthless and so is their melted cakes...
don't embarrass you by using this service to send gifts! Never trust them.

It is a waste of time and money!

Company: Cobblestone Auto Spa
Address : 3739 E. Bell Rd., Phoenix, Arizon United States
URL: www.cobblestoneautospa.com

We took our 6 week old 2005 Silver Honda Accord LX into Cobblestone Auto Spa, the first time we had ever used them. We went in for an oil change and the top of the line wash. When it came out it had purple paint on the front bumper. The driver's side headlight was scratched. The left back fender near the trunk has a deep scratch in it. On the rear bumper the paint was scratched off where you can see the black of the bumper. Last but not least, the tint on all of the windows was bubbled. The oil change and top of the line wash cost over $40.00. They did not even vacuum out the interior of the car. After discovering all of the damage we spoke to one of the facility managers and he informed us that they do not give refunds and all that they could do was run the car through their car wash again. After so much damaged how it was possible to except this offer and therefore told them no. it was not possible to let it all go as the damage was not minor but a lot and after estimating the cost of the damage it came to$1085 plus the rental charges. After taking the estimate and pictures back to the car wash, all that was offered to us was the purple paint buffed off the front bumper and a detail. We spoke to the Operations Manager, and he told us accidents happen there everyday but they are most often worse than what happened to our car. After he talked to his assistant and another one of the facility managers that was there that day, he said he had already come to the conclusion that there was no way that the tint or the scratches could have been caused by them. We took our car back there for him and another facility manager to look at. He was the rudest person I had ever met. He told us that there was no way for any of the scratches or the tint to have been caused by them or there machines. And they refused to set up with any thing and refused to visit us again. It is a waste of time and money.

Image Auto Detail is an extremely unethical business!

Company: Image Auto Detail
Address : 3003 Grove View Ct., Dacula, Georgia 30019, United States
URL: ImageAutoDetail.net

I had the worst experience with this company as this company overercharges and then do not deliver on the completed project.
The owner has his employees on commission, and they get a percentage of everything they do. Or so they think. In reality,
the owner changes his mind on how much his employees make, and causes the employees paychecks to become smaller and smaller.
The owner also has no problem talking about why he has fired past employees - with his current employees! The employees work well over 40 hours a week, but unfortunately they cannot be paid overtime. The owner works them into the ground but makes sure they do not get much money so he can keep it all for himself. Detailing cars is a very physically demanding job and it is hard to find good employees. He should treat his employees better! It should be a sign that most of his employees are out looking for a new job. Also, a good business person will keep his word. To his employees or to his clients. Please beware of using ImageAutoDetail.net; ImageDetail.com; and ImageIncorporated.com. Image Auto Detail is an extremely unethical business and if i could sue them I would be.

Company: Wee Ones Childcare
Address : 11376 Three Rivers Road, Gulfport, Mississippi 39503, United States

We always want to send our child where he is looked upon with complete interest and taken care off. Being a single mother I
had to earn my living all alone and after all a daughter to bring up was a little difficult task so I had applied for the job and fortunately I got the job an therefore got my daughter to these day care, so that she would be in hands of the teachers and would be taken care off. After few days I saw a mark on my child's leg it appeared as if she was hurt so I tried to talk to the teacher showing the mark, but she convinced me that it might be something she hurt her self so I let the matter go, but on the next day while leaving my daughter I overheard another parent complaining the same and now I felt that something was fishy, I spoke to the another parent about the matter and we both decided that we should not over see the matter and find out the reality, after all we had paid this company which ensure that children were well taken care of under their supervision. So we both found that the classrooms have been left unattended at this facility or in the care of an after school age child. My child's one year old class was left unattended during naptime for 7 minutes and I viewed the tape in front of the director to which nothing was done about this situation. Instead my child was kicked out and also the another teacher who proved the fact was left with out the job, the only thing I want to say is that they are not an responsible child care where you can think that the child is save so better avoid them.

Never leave your child here...

Company: Latchkey Child Services
Address : 1141 N Robinson, Suite 404, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73103, United States

If you live in the Oklahoma City area and your kids attend a latchkey day services do your self a favor and seek a new daycare. I been with them for 3 years now and always have errors and I am not the only parent that has been through this crap with them. At the Beginning of the school year we paid 1st week and last weeks daycare charges in advance as required. We also paid nice deposit. And one fine day I get a mail from this child care services saying I am 170$ behind because I did not pay my deposit and they took 80$ from my payment 1st week in the month of November. Why now they say I did not say I paid my deposit and take it out of my payment. I pay every two weeks to this daycare service. I pay 160$ every two weeks.
What I do not understand is how I am 170$ behind and how they say my deposit was never paid. I have the cancelled check to prove I did. Every time I call them they give me the run around saying oh you did not pay your deposit and your behind how can this be? There rules and terms states you must pay you 1st and last week service fee and deposit before your kid can attend latchkey daycare services and I have the proof to prove to these clowns, this Child services lies and rips people off. I have been harassed unnecessary many times, in spite of proving them that they were wrong they did not stop asking for the fees which I had always paid on time so that's why never let your child here.

I will never make the mistake of doing any kind of business with Ethan Allen!

Company: Ethan Allen Home Interiors
Address : 7740 W Layton Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53220, United States

Hi, when I moved to my new house I had bought a carpet from Ethan Allen in Milwaukee, WI. The carpet that I purchased was
that of a top quality. They came and installed in my living room and in the other rooms except the kitchen of course. It stayed well for almost a year. I was really happy with the carpet and the tallation. Then just before it could complete a year it all started buckling up. I called them up immediately to complain about the carpets. They told me they could do nothing. I had to call the installers. They had guaranteed their installation for 2 years and not even a year had completed.
I called the installers and they came on time and they stretched the carpet for free, only because it was under warranty period. After a year the carpet started giving problem again. It started buckling again. It was out of warranty now. So I thought it was ok if I called another dealer now coz calling them again made no difference. So the other dealer that came said that the carpet shouldn't be buckling up like that and that they have given me a defective piece.
I then called Ethan Allen as the other dealer told me to, to tell them they might have sent me a defective carpet. I told them that the carpet was still under warranty as the warranty period was five years. They told me that they will do nothing because the carpet was stretched.
I had called the installers and asked them to fix it how ever they could just because Ethan Allen had told me to. That is what they told me then now they are telling that I should have called an inspector and got it checked. They are not ready to help me. I will never make the mistake of doing any kind of business with Ethan Allen.

Hi, last week I had gone shopping so I had stopped at Hardee's to have dinner as it was getting kinda late. I seen a nice salad it looked quite tempting so I ordered it when I got it, it did not look as good. The veggies in that looked a little on the spoiled side.
I kept all the veggies that looked spoiled aside and began eating lettuce. Then I noticed that the lettuce were brown in color. I could not eat them. The veggies were all rotten and a thick fluid had been formed at the bottom of the dish coz of the rotten veggies.
I could not believe this happened to me in Hardee's. I was a regular customer. This was the first time I faced a problem there. It is really disgraceful. I will never return to Hardee's not in this life time for sure.

Company: Mc Donald's
Address : 5145 Sheridan Rd, Kenosha, WI 53140, United States

Hi, I want to complain about Mc Donald's in Kenosha, WI. I had gone to see my friend and after we left her place on the way back home as we were driving, we started feeling hungry. So we stopped at the Mc Donald's. We got in and had to wait for sometime to get seated. After we were seated it took almost 30 min to order our food. After that we had to wait for 15 min for our food and when it arrived on our table it was cold.
Even when we were eating, we seen employees just standing around when there were many people to wait on. This is totally nacceptable. I have been going there for years now; never had I come across such horrible food and such poor service. We used to love to go there for our meals. I did not expect this from them. We will not return there again. What a shame!!!

Your hair will look worse than what it did before you got a cut...

Company: Best Cuts
Address : 12651 W North Ave, Elm Grove, WI 53005, United States

Hi, I had gone to Best cuts in Elm Grove, WI. I had gone there to get a trim. I was getting a lot of split ends so I just wanted to get rid of them. I entered the salon and there was a stylist sitting who was doing nothing she looked up at me and continued what she was doing. I signed up and waited to be called. She then took hardly any time to trim my hair.
I was wondering I know she had to only trim but how she was done so fast. I paid her and went in my car. The first thing I did after getting in my car was I looked at myself in the mirror. I did not like the cut at all. I could still see the split ends. I had to sop at another salon to get the cut right. I would have gone back but she was in a hurry to finish with me and was also complaining that she had a head ache and people kept coming now that was really foolish. I had to spend around $40 for a $15 haircut. I will never return to this salon. You will not get good results here. Your hair will look worse than what it did before you got a cut.

Almost three quarters of the bag was broken!

Company: Wal-Mart
Address : 2500 Lake Shore Dr E, Ashland, WI 54806, United States

This complaint is about Rold Gold Pretzels in Wal-Mart in Ashland, WI. I had bought some of the rold gold pretzels from this place. I bought the holiday kind. I bought one bag for my nephews they loved it. When I checked the bag almost three quarters of the bag was broken. There were small pieces left in the bag. Very few were full pieces. I was very dissatisfied, coz this was the first time out of all the times that I faced a problem purchasing pretzels.
I went back to complain. They told me they could do nothing because I had opened the bag. They suggested buying another bag.
I did not agree coz they are not supposed to sell stuff like this. I was very disappointed coz of this. I will not stop buying their products coz I really love them. I will surely let them know about their damaged products and request them to take care that this does not happen again.

I wasted my time here!

Company: Big Ten Subs
Address : 2612 E Milwaukee St, Janesville, WI 53545, United States

Hi, I had ordered for sandwiches from Big 10 Subs in Janesville, WI. I had placed the order around 8.15 in the night. I asked her how long it would take she told me that they don't usually take orders at this time but this would be their last order for the day coz they close at 9.00pm. She told me that it would take 45 min to deliver. I told her that's when they close. She told me not to worry and that she would get it delivered as one of the employees stay near by. At 8.45 I called to see whether I would get it. The girl on the phone said that the sandwiches were ready but they cannot find it, it must have fallen off the counter. I asked to speak to the manager and she said that she was the manager and that nothing could be done now. She said it was time to close down.
I then asked her for the owner of the restaurant she told me that he was not in and asked me to call on the next week. I have faced this problem many times here. This is not good service at all. I will never order from here again. I wasted my time here. We had to order from another place we were all hungry and had to wait for so long till we got our food all because of Big 10 Subs.

I had gone to Applebee's last month with my boyfriend. We were seated quickly; we did not have to wait for long. We were given our menus soon. We were only two of us. The waiter came and we placed our orders. She was very polite and spoke well. After that is what irritated us. After placing our orders we had to wait for around 50min. we called the waitress and asked her what was going on. She told us that she had lost our order. I was frustrated coz we were very hungry and they had not yet got our order.
She apologized and said that the manager will be coming to speak to us. We waited there for almost 3 hours. The manager should have done something about it. What we did wrong was we did not make a big scene. He thought we were ok with it.
C'mon who will be ok with staying hungry for so long?
