  • Books A Million

1/11/24

My local BAM downsized the magazine rack to a 1/5th of what it had been. They got rid of all the magazines I would have looked at. They also got rid of their cafe. Meanwhile their selection of computer books has dropped to virtually none. Their selection of non book stock has surged, leading me to wonder whether it wants to become a toystore.

I don't get to a bookstore very often but this visit just tells me that BAM is not far from going under.

Tip for consumers:
Sad to see a store in its dying days

None - they had nothing I wanted

I purchased a 20W solar panel but what arrived was a 10W solar panel. I contacted the seller who lied and told me I have a 20W solar panel but that I don't know how to measure it. Well that got off to a good start. I filed a refund with Aliexpress and the whole system is clearly aimed toward not giving refunds. They're asking me to submit more information but not providing a way to submit more information. I had an email that said the seller had agreed to my terms and that I should press accept. When the screen came up, the only accept button was to accept the seller's terms. Dishonest, do not do business with these crooks. I'm going to try to do a chargeback via the bank now. Sure - it wasn't much money but it's the principal of the thing.

  • Renogy Solar

I bought the Renogy PG30A charge controller. It claims to output 20A of load but dies after less than 4A of load. Contacting the company they gave me a number to call which I did. That ended up being a time wasting jingle line where you get to listen to jingles until you eventually give up. I will never again buy another Renogy product. Mine went straight in the trash.

Tip for consumers:
Run away, screaming!

I set up an account with NO picture and garbage text from just dragging my hand across the keyboard.

Already I have 16 messages, 7 have added me to their favorites etc.

I have not paid this site a penny and never will. It's so clearly all fake.

I set up an account with no picture. Then a day later some woman on the site that I have not contacted because I refuse to pay for credits sent me a photo of her crotch. Yeah... it's either hookers or fraud and I want none of it.

  • Pear Analytics

6/6/12

I ran the free website analyzer. I carried out the recommendations and got an even worse "result" from the next scam (oops) scan. I also had a strange message saying my domain name wasn't pointing correctly when I hadn't changed it (on the third scan).

I'm going to say that this company probably cannot get any worse. I certainly wouldn't, on the basis of their free scans, spend any money on them.

  • Groupon

Absolutely useless site.

I am a small businessman and I desperately need more publicity. I thought this site would do it. Turns out they hate small businesses and refuse to do business with small businesses.

I looked at the "deals" offered and they're just worthless. I can get 10% off in most places just by negotiating. The other deals - you have to buy so much it's just not worthwhile.
