Horrible, ruthless company. Shut off service for a SUICIDE HOTLINE FOR CHILDREN over billing for equipment that was never received! Question: Can dead children live stream games?

Horrible company. The district manager has blocked all deliveries to our charity's address, telling us it will be in place forever because we complained that their delivery people were throwing expensive packages over the fence onto the grass next to the sprinkler after dark. The sprinklers go off in the early morning and have ruined hundreds of dollars worth of books. The last delivery was an iPhone that had cost more than $1500, which the driver left at night on the driveway next to a lawnmower in a totally nonsecure area. UPS has stated that everything must now be picked up at their hub, which is a 14 mile trip with an hour-long wait in line because of the pandemic. Furthermore, UPS doesn't even supply notification that items are being delivered. Uncounted packages have been lost as a result, as after some time, UPS either returns them to the sender or disposes of them. This is unacceptable and in many cases, as with Amazon and Best Buy, UPS is a de facto monopoly as they are the only carrier used. If this is not resolved forthwith, there will be a lawsuit in anticipation of millions of dollars (as this is a perpetual charity) worth of lost revenue and time, along with a request for punitive damages. I myself am not litigious, but when a district manager does this because of my race because I have been the one to have had to repeatedly call about damage to irreplaceable 150-year-old-books. UPS has no number to corporate. All calls go to the Philippines. Understandable for a company that could not care less about their customers.

All that Guidestar (now Candid) measures is the financial transparency of a charity. It does not measure the quality of the charity's services. In other words, Al Queda or Isis might receive a platinum rating were either to have been an American nonprofit, regardless that they are both terrorist organizations. That may seem like an extreme example, but, for instance, one charity I know of has been involved in beatings, used guns, tried to undermine another similar charity and harmed children, but Guidestar gives it a platinum badge. Furthermore, 100% of a charity's money may go towards excessively high salaries, so long as the charity claims (truly or falsely) that those paid performed services that aligned with the charity's purpose. That being the case, Guidestar is pretty useless.

Their website promises free shipping. They charged $53. Placed the order over the phone at their insistence. Never received any kind of receipt or invoice. Repeated phone calls and emails achieve nothing. I could have paid less and gotten it directly from the company no hassles. Never again!

I wish that I could give it a negative review. The site is operated by Ukrainians, They have a branch in the Ukraine. Ukrainians, more than any of the former Soviet nations, appear to have built a reputation for visa scams and child pornography.

But to find a girl that you have sheltered and taken care of and tried to protect, trying to sell herself for money. This is nothing short of prostitution.

If you go to any whois and look up the domain name and it is a private domain, like Domains by Proxy, where the owners hide their address and phone number, you are asking for trouble. If they have a 25% restocking fee, run as fast as you can to somewhere else. Always check reviews and beware of fake reviews the websites place for themselves.
