I use an Imac desktop. Brave's copy and paste does not work and the back button is inop and grayed out.

  • AT&T

11/18/22

My wife has had a Ma Bell/AT&T landline service account for 60 years and she has always paid by check. She has never had occasion to set up an online account for logging in and monitoring the account until this August 2022 when storm rain damaged the buried landline. Service was finally reconnected after 2.5 months and during our conversation with AT&T about closing the work order we were informed that AT&T was going to stop landline service and we had to cancel the service or switch to fiber optic.The back history is that her AT&T service had always been active during power outages so she decided to keep the service and she assumed that would not change. We were assured by AT&T that we would not be charged for the 2.5 months of no service. But the bills were sent to us for September and October.
A technician came a week later and changed the landline to fiber optic. I asked him if the service would be affected by a power outage and he said that it would go dead. That reply triggered a whole day of talking with several customer service associates and being transferred several times. They had signed us up for Internet which we did not request nor want plus home phone which we wanted. By day's end the account and service was cancelled and the hardware will be removed the next day. When the technician completed the fiber optic installation he gave me a slip of paper with the account login which I used to set up the account management but there was a glaring defect in the site software. The site responded properly to the new user ID and password but all account navigation buttons did not respond. Tech assistance was not able to help to correct the problem.

  • Lively

Wife and I are in our 70s, retired and handicapped. 10 years ago we subscribed to Consumer Cellular because they offered dumb flip phones for the handicapped and the Doro phones worked for us. After two models of Doro wore out we we into our third then those began to wear out so I checked Consumer Cellular for another dumb flip phone and they had abandoned the Doro and only offer plain Alcatel flips with no handicapped features. I was Incensed. Wife had suggested Great Call Lively's Jitterbug II so I began to study their program then I bought two Lively phones at Walgreens on May 7 and spent a day studying the program, making notes and I prepared a cheat sheet with all of the necessary information for importing our two phone numbers from Consumer Cellular to Great Call Lively. I called Consumer Cellular and got the two passcode for transferring each of the numbers and added those to my data sheet for the transfer. I called Lively customer service on May 8 and began the subscription process. On May 9 I tried to make an account with login at Lively but it did not know me so I waited a day and called a for progress update. I was told that the information I gave them was rejected by Consumer Cellular. I gave then the data again then an employee put my info in the system so that I could have an account. Daily calls back and forth with lively while giving them the number transfer data a total of 4 times availed nothing. About May 12 I asked to speak to a supervisor and I was told that the supervisor would call me the next day but that did not happen. About a week went by when I was involved in other pressing matters then I called for an update from Lively and I was told that the data that lively repeatedly gave to Consumer Cellular did not match what my Consumer Cellular account showed. This last Lively employee was astute enough to see how all the other Lively employees scrambled the data due to their collective inexperience. I called again to cancel everything and I demanded a full refund which was promised but they did not refund me. I had to call my bank and request that they make Lively refund my account.
The Lively II phones, which are also Alcatel, do not have the quality and serviceability of the Doro phones so I will be looking at Easyfone and stay with Consumer Cellular which is less than half the price of Lively for the same exact service.
I have more proofs of purchase but I was only allowed one.

  • Discount Tire

10/3/21

To set definitions straight, "Lifetime Warranty" mean the normally expected life of a tire. The people have all been professional, honest, knowledgeable and efficient to the tune of saving me from grief, stress and unnecessary expense. I was impressed when the manager last week solved a tricky problem. I bought a used 2011 Honda Fit Sport with the low profile tires that caused a bumpy and jarring ride. For a fair price he replaced the 16" rims with 15" rims and the tires with higher sidewalls. That smoothed the ride tremendously without affecting normal handling.

  • Amazon Prime

10/1/21

I have shopped at Amazon Prime since it began. Over the years they have gradually become sloppier in their promises and their fulfillment. They have shrunk the movie selections while raising the rental prices. The product reviews are not managed for truth and accuracy. Fake reviews and reviews that belong at another product is now the norm rather than the exception. I had been getting 5% cash back occasionally then that stoped without notice. Amazon does not respond to complaints about deceptive merchandising and deceptive advertising. The quality of shipping packaging of products has taken a nose dive.

  • BulkSupplements.com

10/1/21

I made several purchases from Bulk Supplements then they started hammering my phone and email with sales ads. I had to call them to complain because they do not provide their customers options for email and text preferences

  • Truthfinder.com

11/18/20

I tested truthfinder.com with name and age of a person I have known for decades. Truthfinder presented the names of several of his relatives then said tat he and them are all criminals. After a long and tedious process the site asked for my personal identifier information without presenting the charge for the service. This criminal mafia should have been taken of line many years ago

  • Nextdoor

9/26/18

I have been a politically neutral member for 6 years and continually did my best to be constructive and contribute real and lasting value. The few with their hearts right appreciated me but the majority are literally leftist zombies with no ability to reason. The far Left administration protects their own regardless of the guidelines violations or blatant illegal activities. I reported a lead for using the Home page to promote her choice candidate which is a violation of guidelines. Admin locked me out of my account without a word to me. Another issue is that a man was illegally doing electrical work for profit and Nextdoor admin protected him.

  • Family Survival System

2/22/17

It is not in the consumer's best interests that search engines sell their souls to the highest bidders. Frank Mitchell who created Family Survival Systems is a good example. His plethora of fake reviews have monopolized the top pages of search engines to the exclusion of true independent review sites. Emails from his site are programmed to block printing of them and his ads are also programmed to block printing. His advertising methodology follows the snake oil format that has been around since Alley Oop. His product might or might not be worthwhile but one can easily build without risk ones own strategy from available free and reliable sources. I am a old hand, 60 years, at survival strategies which I have practiced since youth. Always be wary and check the reputation and history of a seller. Never believe a person who has a vested interest in a product. Desire for immediate gratification catches the suckers. Do your homework well.

  • Zappos

2/22/17

Grumpy trolls pretend to be my feet. Pronation, arthritis and old fractures demand specialized footwear that I cannot afford to have custom made. Zappos zapped the trolls with perfectly designed and fitting shoes that gave me a new lease on life and the prices are wonderfully low for the quality. Customer service is great.

  • Walmart

2/22/17

Low quality Chinese products, poor customer service and sky high groceries and household goods drove me away to Amazon. I might order from them if Amazon doesn't have what I need.

  • Ussecuritysolutions

Being a DiY electrician and home security designer requires good resources. I tried the mainstream sources for cameras and looked over the CCTV DVRs. Depression set in. A determined search rewarded me with American based U.S. Security Solutions. Their cameras and DVRs are top notch and cost much less than equal quality competitors. Customer service is best in class. User education is vast and thorough.

  • Apple

2/22/17

This Apple user since 2008 has become soured by their selling of bug and virus filled add ons, not vetting products made by other suppliers, manipulative ways and intrusiveness sweetened by lies. They too quickly drop support for earlier products and home office systems. Their Safari browser is structured to compromise user privacy. The OSX is too bloated and rigid. Their HELP files are barebones and focused on mobile functions. My freedom to remove unwanted apps has been taken away.

  • Office Depot

6/9/15

Before purchasing a needed product I do market checks and read reviews. In fifteen years Office Depot has not disappointed me. I have consistently found at Office Depot the best deals on quality printer paper.

  • Sears

2/12/15

Online browsing at Sears is maddening. Their search engine is a primitive moron that does not understand that if i ask for only upright freezers i do not want to see chest freezers and refrigerators. They have destroyed themselves and their heritage for this and many more reasons.

  • LinkedIn

2/12/15

Shortly after I registered a year ago my programmed modem started warning me about probes from LinkedIn. Spam started coming every day from LinkedIn and others who tailored spam to my surfing habits. LinkedIn ads and paid reviewers say that a basic free subscription ptovides networking but there is no search engine to find known colleagues. The price for the incompetent service is exorbitant. It is basically a criminal site designed to take your money and provide a playground for the moneyed. The operation is doomed to failure. One can say that it is a tool for implementing global totalitarianism.

Tip for consumers:
Beware of devils with pretty faces.

  • DuckDuckGo

12/9/14

My Mac desktop with Mavericks has two accounts, Admin and Secondary. I found DuckDuckGo at Apple's extensions page, installed DuckDuck Go in the Admin account and it duplicated itself in the secondary account. Search results are commercialized and simplistic. It hides from all computer searches and I cannot uninstall it. All instructions for removal that I found, even at DuckDuckGo site, do not work. I must conclude from this that Apple and DuckDuckGo are both criminal.

  • CNET

6/18/14

I was looking for a Mac application and thought I found it at Cnet. Right after clicking Download malware took over my browser and started downloading something different from what I expected. I turned off the modem, switched to backup drive and ran Sophos on the affected drive. Sophos found and deleted the malware.

  • Amazon

5/25/14

12 years and counting. Excellence non-pareil in all areas. As another reviewer said, "I only go to anther site when I can't find what I need at Amazon."

  • Home Depot

5/25/14

I have been in Home Depot dozens of times since their inception and walked out empty handed most of the time. Their product quality is mostly poor. Their lumber quality is poor. The aisle stock is disorganized. The attendants do not know the accountabilities of their assignments. The nursery practices are reflective of trade ignorance, low standards, promotion of counter-productive gardening practices, greed, disinfomation and outright fraud. A few days ago I shopped there to buy Rosemary plants and caught them in false advertising.
