Bark

Bark s a waste of time.

Any lead that I responded to was not legitimate. Bark does not qualify the leads and worse, you have to fight to get your credit back when you contact a lead by phone or mail, and no one calls or emails you back. Don't waste your money on this service.

Most of the leads I have received are Fake leads; period. I just received an email from 'Immie"... and her response was following up with a bogus lead for 7 more days and see if they answer you... really?... "we don't return credits on this basis" - extremely unprofessional organization that would hire someone who has this mentality of not helping a paying customer.

Called back and the numbers are disconnected. Leave a message and not one calls you back.
Several leads just wanted to know more about your industry, not serious customers. Don't waste your time and money on bark.

Not happy when I questioned bark about my leads why we have bot been accepted reply in email was we have deactivated accounts which means they stole 90 quid worth of leads which were already active and the remaining credits not happy at all I want full refund since this company has gone the wrong way totally about business delete all my profile delete my leads and steal my money this need be sorted or trading standards will get ear of it

Very quick to find a professional. Brownsgroup roofing came out within a couple of hours and the work was completed promptly and professionally and at an extremely reasonable price. With photos of before and after, we are so pleased and would definitely recommend this small friendly family run company to anybody.

Bark gave me 5 qualified traders for me to consider for the roof & gutter work that I described and two of them responded within 24 hour. The first one checked all aspects before giving me good advice and an acceptable quote. After assurance that all the work would be done in the time frame that suited me and there would not be any additional charges I accepted the quote.

I never did business with Bark. This company spammed my company's website by using the testimonials area of the website to post multiple 1-star reviews containing "potential leads" from customers looking for painters and interior designers. I'm in HVAC.

I attached my website's review notification as proof, because Bark reported the review that I left on Trustpilot as "defamatory". This is 100% true.

Oh, I almost forgot- the link they provided so that I could opt-out of "receiving leads" doesn't work! Seriously, that's not just terrible business practices, I'm pretty sure it's a violation of the CAN-SPAM Act.

They find your website and contact form and spam you with all these possible leads in your area looking for your service. Once you sign up you'll see the number of leads disappear and the few leads you do get are not actively wanting to hire (completely dud leads). I reached out to their customer service, speaking specifically with * and he was completely unhelpful - referring me to their T+Cs and refusing a refund. When I challenged legal action, he gave me their legal address. Enjoy this review *

Bark.com has MISLEADING leads. According to Taegan (Bark.com Support Team) a customer may have already chosen another business to work with, but the lead may still be active on their website. When I requested a credit for this, they stated that they cannot provide a credit because they "cannot return the credits for customers that decide to hire someone else". They suggested to " not wait a day or two before purchasing their details" even though I told them that I purchased the lead 32 minutes after it went up on their site. I understand if they find another business to work with a day or two after it was posted, but this was within an hour of being listed on their site. The lead should be closed, but it was kept up even though I sent them my complaint so other businesses could have also used up their credits to find out that this lead already found what they were looking for.

I recently joined Bark and purchased the starter pack with a guarantee to get hired at least once. Nothing! A bunch of the leads I paid for we're bogus. Try calling or sending an email to lead and none of the info is correct. Sent an email to Bark requesting a refund. They have me more credits to use. I would like my actual cash returned to me! I've used a couple different apps similar to this that are legit and I've got work from. I'm also reporting this to the BBB and my local authorities for this FRAUD!

Bark sent me the contact details, via email, of 6 very local van drivers/couriers, within minutes of my enquiry.

We discovered an item we had purchased was too large for a taxi.

I was contacted and chose Tadis, of Oxford, who was the cheapest and most available.

He did 4 stops at the most competitive price and our friends said he was warm, professional and obliging.

I would strongly recommend Bark for domestic and business pursuits. They checked back too.

I wish I would have looked this company up before making any purchases.
They are trying to be like upwork, except upwork credits you back for credits on jobs that they deem scam or unfit.
I made a purchase, got NO leads and was corresponding and they recharged my card claiming I signed up for auto pay. I didn't. I never checked any box saying I wanted autopay and I never got a notification saying I was almost out of credits or out of credits.
Then I get a promo code, so I enter it in the promo area and it doesn't even take me to a checkout, in fact I didn't even agree to purchase credits. They charged my card which should have been taken off of file.
This company is violating consumer rights and they need to have a class action lawsuit brought on them for their lack of accountability and the fact they just think they can charge credit cards without authorization!
