NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM ANGRYSALE.COM. PURCHASED SUPPOSEDLY LEATHER CROSSBODY BAG. NOT ONLY ISN'T NOT LEATHER IT WILL NOT LAST. VERY THIN MATERIAL, VERY THIN STRAP, LINING COMES OUT OF BAG. IT'S A PIECE OF CRAP. THE MAIN REASON TO STAY AWAY FROM ANGRYSALE.COM IS THEY DON'T ACCEPT RETURNS. WE NEED MORE GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS SO CITIZENS DON'T GET RIPPED OFF BY INTERNET COMPANIES.

Tip for consumers:

What a joke! Prices are not back to the way they were. They would be average 50% off original so called your high price set at $29.99. Now you are lucky to find a price that's 20% off your high original price. You may get some new suckers to pay these ridiculous prices on wine no other retail carries but old customers like me know your scam. Large corporations only exist for their CEO and stock holders.

  • I Love Dooney

I LOVE DOONEY IS THE WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH. IF I COULD GIVE YOU NO STARS I WOULD. 1 STAR IS TOO MUCH FOR THE AGGRAVATION YOU PUT ME THROUGH. THE SAME DAY I ORDERED I TRIED TO CANCEL, YOU SAID IT WAS ALREADY SHIPPED, WAS A LIE. THEN I RECEIVED THE THE BAG YOU TELL ME THERE'S A $10.00 CHARGE TO RETURN WHICH WAS NEVER STATED ANYWHERE WHILE SHOPPING OR ORDERING, WHICH IS A SCAM THAT YOU KNOW YOU ARE RUNNING BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE STATED THAT EARLIER ON NOT UNTIL CUSTOMER NEEDS TO RETURN MERCHANDISE. THEN YOU MAKE IT HARD FOR CUSTOMERS TO RETURN BY NOT SENDING QR CODES TO THEM. BY WRITING THIS REVIEW I HOPE I CAN PREVENT OTHER SHOPPERS FROM BUYING FROM I LOVE DOONEY.

Tip for consumers:
Return policy should be posted on every item before purchasing.

Products used:
Bag returned only to charged to return which is no where on their site.

I have been a member at the YMCA for 50 years. Mostly in Queens, NY and Bay Shore, NY. Most years I hardly visited the Y but paid my membership anyway because I believe in what the YMCA does and who they help. We have been members since Patchogue YMCA opened in 2010. Our cost is $68.00 per month to use the pool only for 1/2 hour, 3 times per week. On 4/15/19 my wife and I were told by Executive Director Donna M. Boyle and Associate Executive Debbie Santoro at the Patchogue, NY YMCA that our membership has been terminated because we complain when the pool is not operating at a temperature not usable for a senior to exercise in, 82-84 degrees. We complained when the pool was 80 degrees or less and we only complained to the executive staff, not to the younger staff. We were always disgusted to see young children shivering with blue lips and the disabled and or seniors not able to use the pool because it was too cold. We complained not just for us but for every other YMCA member who couldn't use the pool. My wife and I are both retired/disabled and use the pool to exercise. The only low impact exercise we can do. Newsday article 10/23/10 "In the new facility, the swimming pool is in a glass-enclosed room where water is set at a constant 85 degrees, Boyle said, with an air temperature of 90 degrees. "It's summertime all year round in here," she said." During the years as members at the Patchogue Y we have overlooked many problems that the YMCA has. Many pool closing for repairs (sometimes for weeks), constant mold in showers, shower water temperature too cold to shower in, stagnant water on shower floor for days, staff allowing members to use lockers permanently while signs state locks will be removed on Sunday evening which makes finding an open locker hard to find and very small changing areas. Another incident, Associate Executive Debbie Santoro allowed a male worker to be in the women's shower while my wife was showering. The main problem at the Patchogue YMCA is that there is no membership liaison working for members so staff can do whatever they may please with no consequences. Not even the Long Island YMCA President & CEO Anne Brigis will help you. When has it been a crime when you complain, that you are not getting what you pay for? So before you sign on the dotted line make sure you and your family know what you are getting into.

PROOZY IS THE WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH. CAN YOU IMAGINE ORDERING A GIFT FOR CHRISTMAS 3 WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS ONLY TO GET AN EMAIL FROM PROOZY TELLING YOU, YOUR ORDER IS CANCELED 1 WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS. THIS IS A DISGUSTING BUSINESS PRACTICE THAT MUST NOT BE TOLERATED. STAY AWAY FROM PROOZY.

Tip for consumers:

  • Costco

10/29/22

BEWARE: Costco.com may try to scam you like it did me. I ordered the "Yamaha EZ-300 Bundle". I received just the Keyboard. Costco.com kept insisting for days that "The Keyboard Bundle" only included the Keyboard. That it did not include the stand, adapter and booklet like in the picture I posted here. You tell me what I ordered. I had to tell Customer Service, I was going to contact their CEO, Walter Craig Jelinek. Only then did they escalate it to a Tier 2. A Resolution Team would be contacting me. After a few more days they finally got back to me to say that they will be sending me "the bundle" and that the keyboard I had to be sent back. It's ridulous what Costco.com put me and my family through just trying to get what I ordered before my adult daughter's birthday. This was a gift for her. So beware Costco members don't let Costco.com Customer Service try to scam you. The topping on the cake is we pay a yearly membership for this aggravation. I have for over 30 years.

Tip for consumers:
Know what you are paying for and fight for it up to CEO W. Craig Jelinek. Costco.com may try to scam you.

  • That Daily Deal

9/13/22

Don't buy anything from That Daily Deal. Everything is crap. I ordered 3 sets of Christmas Lights. You think they are UL approved? The wire is so thin my house may burn down. I hope That Daily Deal has insurance. Picture 1 shows you the difference in size of a UL approved electric wire and That Daily Deal Christmas Lights wire. Picture 2 shows you what 3 sets of That Daily Deal Christmas lights look like against a normal size Bic pen. These 3 sets are suppose to cover 36 feet long and 6 feet wide in a NE winter outside. What do you think?

Tip for consumers:
Don't do business with "That Daily Deal".

  • Amazon

What Amazon has done to me and my grandson is disgusting. My grandson asked me for something for Christmas. I immediately went to Amazon to purchase it. Being 65 it's better I buy online then visit stores during Covid19. I received emails from Amazon 1.) on Dec 1st, order confirmation. 2.) on Dec 7th, my item has shipped and I should expect it by Dec 8th. After a few days waiting for item to arrive I started contacting Amazon. From one customer service (CS) rep to another rep, then supposedly one cs team leader to another cs team leader, I got the same answer they don't know what happened to my grandson's Christmas gift. They kept telling me that they can no longer give me my item I payed for and was told I would receive it proof of emails received by Amazon. I tried all over the web to find Amazon's Executive contact information. I called the executive office's where they would not give me any executive to talk to about my problem. I sent emails to a few executives but no answer as of yet, jeff at amazon being one of them. The only thing I can see is that when I purchased my item on Dec 1st it was selling for $129.99, now it up to $400.00. They must have seized my item to make more money selling it to someone else. How much more money does Jeff Bezos and Amazon want to make? So beware when Amazon screws you no one will help you.

  • HeatUSA

1/20/11

HeatingOil.com and Heat USA (heatusa.com) are the same company with different names and different 800 numbers. Same CEO, employees and address. They are nothing what they claim to be. HeatOil.com and Heat USA represents itself as a Consumer Advocate Company. Supposedly servicing its paying member at Heat USA. HeatingOil.com is free, getting you the lowest price on fuel and heating equipment. Not true, don't believe it. Go see their website. Do they list oil prices you should be paying? No. Call their customer service. Ask them what you will be paying. They won't tell you. HeatingOil.com says, trust us to get you a lower price. Don't do it. You'll be paying so much more. I paid close to a $1.00 more per gallon for heating oil. HeatingOil.com says they'll save you hundreds of dollars on heating equipment. I paid close to $2,000.00 more as a member of Heat USA. So to all my fellow homeowners please do your homework, be your own consumer advocate and you will see why I say "Stay Away from Heat USA and HeatingOil.com."

  • Frank Bros Fuel

1/17/11

I signed up with Frank Bros. Fuel Co., Bay Shore, NY for my heating oil and service of my heating equipment in February of 2009. It took Frank Bros, until October 2009 to come to my home to inspect and tune-up my boiler (as old as the house is, 20 years) and separate oil fired hot water tank (8 years old). Within 24 hours of this wonderful tune-up (I have one done every year) my working water tank burst causing a foot of water throughout my basement (24' X 46'). Frank Bros. Then sends their equipment sales manager and tells me the best way to go is a new boiler with a reserve tank which will cut down my oil consumption by 30%, cost $6,000.00. I have the boiler and tank replaced with all new everything. I find out 6 months later I could have done the same thing for $4500. 00. So, not only did Frank Bros. Cause my water tank to burst they over charged me $1500. 00. The icing on the cake is now my oil consumption is higher then it has ever been in the 10 years owning this house. Frank Bros. Website and radio adds all proclaim "Honest People Providing Honest Service". Does anyone see that at my home? So, to all my Long Island neighbors, please don't believe Frank Bros. Fuel Co. You might be their next victim.

Businesses at MerchantCircle can and will remove any negative comments or reviews at this website. This is very unfair to the consumer who is not able to read the negative reviews that the businesses do not what consumers to read. Try writing a negative review at their website: merchantcircle.com, it will be eliminated within days by the business it was written about. Try to call their 800 number from their website: merchantcircle.com. *******203. It always says this business is temporary closed or want to charge you $34.95 to talk to them. Consumers need to stand up to these so call consumer advocate websites otherwise we the consumer will get taken and scammed into thinking these businesses have only wonderful reviews and do business with them. Stay away from MerchantCircle.

Heidi W. thanked you for your review of Wine Insiders

“Yes! It used to be cheaper to buy in bulk from Wine Insiders than to go to a liquor store. It’s no longer true. Nowadays, I can find the same lower-quality wines locally for much less money!”
