Bark

I needed a web site redesigned and used Bark.com for the first time. Seven bids were submitted on Bark and another seven pulled the information and contacted me outside of Bark. This was a bit surprising, but not unwelcome and the bids came from a wide variety of design practices.

You contacted me to give me another 'offer', you're all fraudsters, I wanted a refund because I never used your services! I have nothing else to talk with yourselves.

I'm an IT service provider and was surprised to find that somehow I'd been signed up to Bark. I certainly didn't sign up for Bark, but then, I don't say no to work. What did surprise me more than anything else is on the lots of leads that I have been sent looked like they were created by the same person or template. So from a 50 mile radius I had the same laptop with the same fault with the same wording. Looked more than fishy. Needless to say I just tried the "free" introduction and didn't hear anything back. If it is genuine, the service is too expensive. The reviews on here say it all, might not be too bad if you are looking for someone, but certainly not for people supplying a service and I personally wouldn't get a service on here as i'd rather do a trust a trader or someone I know than risk a company just pumping money in to buy work.

I signed a bark and bought $200 in credit, I didn't get a single customer, those who showed up were scammers, and others were unemployed people looking for work... I went in there to get more customers and didn't get any. I sent several emails and they never responded. Very bad customer service and they don't solve anything

Driver called to say he was going to be late. There were 10 of us ready and waiting. When he arrived he could not have been more professional or friendly. He took pics for us, his driving was perfect. The limo was spotless. He dropped us at the restaurant and was outside the door when we walked out. Going through the Gift of Lights, he drove the perfect speed. We had two children, 16 months and 7 years, who jabbered and ooooooed the entire length of the GoL. He kept the temp comfortable, kept water, soda and champagne chilled and accessible. He even had water at room temp in case someone did not want it cold. Everyone enjoyed the experience. It was a first limo experience for a few, and it did not disappoint. Thank you, AJ! I highly recommend and would use again!

Credits cost a lot, and you do not only use credits for replies, you use them to contact leads for work etc. The credits go so quickly, and no one rarely replies, we have 55 leads, contacted 12 and had 1 who didn't want to pay fuel charges due to distance. You have to put a lot in, to get little out.

The lead preferences and questions they ask potential customers resulted in VERY poor (in fact zero) leads for my business. It is inflexible from a sellers point of view. I tried for a bit and then requested my money back (you have to pay $400 upfront). They refuse to refund me insisting instead that I get credits. I can't use their system, they appear to have no cooling off period and just shut down the email correspondance sying "We can not help you further". Great!
STAY AWAY from this company if you are a seller

This was the first time I contacted The Bark team with a request to change an extractor fan! Tamas Korompai came as soon as he was free today, he covered his shoes before entering and he removed the faulty extractor fan. He went ahead and purchased another locally, he installed it with a smile and now we have a new kitchen with a functioning extractor, light, fan and all! He found all the hidden wiring and now it's with a smile that we cook, again! Can recommend him as he is honest, not expensive and jolly, too. 5*****

Tried to get local cleaning companies to do an inter-tenancy clean. They either said they'd call me back (& didn't) or just weren't interested (despite advertising as such!). Felt that I was going with my begging bowl! Completely different experience with Bark com. Potential companies contacted me and I felt in the driving seat (as I should have, as a customer); all viaing for my business. No time wasters and job done to my specification. Great site for landlords, particularly if properties in different areas. Thanks Bark. Happy customer. 5*. 100%.

Storm Ciara demolished the whole of my back fences, exposing the garden from the road, including the oil tank and the rear bedrooms. Within an hour I had been contacted by two good fencing firms, one of which came later that Sunday and gave me an estimate to renew the fencing as I want. The other arrived a day later but didn't send the estimate until the following Friday. As the work was urgent and both firms appeared good and professional, I gave the work to the first one (who were also a bit cheaper) as they appeared more keen to get on with it. They start tomorrow.
