I like Dish network other than price is going up and I do not have premium channels HBO, movie channels that kind of thing.

I am going to tell you more on why I have Dish network and not Direct you will love this. My mom had Direct TV she never complained about it to them being Direct TV and for sure was not having problems with her Direct TV box perfect example if it is not broke don't touch it. Mom gets called from one of the Direct TV contractor in her area and this jerk says we are going to be in the area and we are going to upgrade your Direct TV box. And they come out exchange her box rewire and antenna their going to do. Reading the paper work it talks about auto-pay and a couple other things I did not like and at that time my mom is 83 years old. I tell the cable guys I need to talk to this guy who talked to my mom. The cable workers get this guy on the phone. I tell this guy my mom and I do not do auto-pay we like controlling interest of or money, Old-School. He tells me we can not get prices that low unless we do that and the more he talks the more I get mad. Told him to stop talking and pull the dam box out and hook it up like it was and hang up. The cable guys are really nice, but bail out of the house knew I was pissed.
The cable guys come into the house and this gal from their office wanted to talk to me and says just let it go and after a couple months tell Direct that we want to be billed monthly on our service. She also said that they would put in an extra Direct TV box but I would have to wait months she would be getting an extra box on the sly and get it for free for doing this. So I said ok.
I decided after all this company was ripping off Direct and I was going to be the one that would not get screwed. Well I did and did not get screwed and had the last laugh after all was finished. The problems I had with Direct TV no kept to the deal set up for my mom all I wanted was to have her keep original monthly service fees as before was not her fault some one was not truthful to her or I and it was a in the 4th month of getting run around, I found Dish network and called Direct TV and told them to get their box out of my mom's house, but cancelled the debit card first so they had no way to collect from my mom's Bank Account I did some reading on what Direct TV had done to another customer by pulling out $3000. 00 from his account for early disconnect and all his equipment. I did how ever ended up taking the box to a office near by as a drop off point finding out I did not own my Direct Box any more but rented it fueling more fire. They also said I owed them $350.00 for early disconnection I said good luck with that and hung up.
I got a bill for $350.00 and the battle was on Howard against Direct TV like David and Goliath. I fought Direct TV for 4 months several 2 to 3 page letters then finally an 8 page letter. I received a call from a representative from Direct TV she was nice but not that nice. What I was told they record their sales transactions for prof of purchase of service with Direct TV and told me that if either my mom and or myself was recorded for termination amount I had to pay bill.
2 things wrong with that I told her you can not hold an 83 year old woman accountable who can not remember what she had for breakfast and they never told me they where going to record me plus if they recorded me not telling me they where it would not hold up in court. # weeks later I received a judgement in my favor and a bill for $15.00 which I paid to get them out of our life's. I tell this to Direct TV sales people that interrupt my shopping at Costco.
Take this story as you will, but I Beat Direct TV and that is a fact.

I had to beat up Dish pricing all at once it seem went way up to $90.00. I called Dish Net Work customer service complained about bill and they dropped it another $20.00. So I am done from $90.00 to my new monthly service charge now $70.00 monthly and happy.

First of all anytime you order from the majority of the China companies and you have a problem hard to ship at times and a lot of it is stupid stuff and you seem to me get lost in the shuffle, like wrong parts. What happened to me. I ordered Radio control Helicopter and what I got was a child's hand held throwing tool
Boomerang. I spent $80.00 for this and got a $1.00 toy and it was exchanged but took 45 days and my brother did not get his Birthday gift till 20 days after his Birthday.
Lets talk about Katherine L. Most likely a ghost person would be my thoughts on this. I am so darn sick and tired we are so sorry you are having problem and I will look into this matter. This is a joke and the company uses this kinda BS. Since this company is so screwed up the right hand cant find its left hand. This company knows they have a problem so why make it worse. This is what Howard wants to hear, I am so sorry Mr. Howard we are aware of your problem, we will send your Remote Control Robotic Butler out the following Business Day. There is nothing worse than some person in lower management makes a promise he can not keep and...

To Banggood been in customer service/sales for Cadillac and Mercedes Benz for 35 years. I will come and work for you, but my requirements are;
1. $225,000.00 yearly
2. Logging
3. Translator
4. Food and Entertainment
5.3 year contract with bonus plan

Hope this was what you needed

P.S. on the picture ID and any other verification Banggood is asking for never give them time of day when asked! Contact your PayPal ask if they might be having a problem and let PayPal deal with it, but ask if there is a problem with Banggood. This protects you the consumer and the dealer.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
