I installed this simply to download a few old movies I'd found online converted from original VHS format - not available on YouTube, Prime etc. Tried several times and always got a stop error code. Evidently its ONLY compatible with YouTube when it's supposed to be universal. No thanks.

Tip for consumers:
Don't bother

  • Wayfair

12/22/21

I hate leaving poor reviews, but absolutely cannot help it here. I was on the fence with ordering a gaming chair, considering the stock shortages and shipping delays. As we've ordered furniture items from before, like a nightstand and DIY dresser, that were both poor quality with missing parts. However, most of what was listed on Amazon were terrible ratings of 4.4 and lower. While thy Wayfair gaming chair was a solid 4.7. So we couldn't lose, right? WRONG. Not only did it ship with two wrong parts for the chair back and an arm. But half the hardware was missing. Can't really assemble a chair with only 4 longbolts and 4 washers. We called the missing parts into Wayfair, and the replacement pack got delayed 3 times, over a 3 week period. So basically we were stuck with a half assembled gaming chair, when we should have sucked it up and took our chances with Amazon. At least they'd have been more efficient.

Tip for consumers:
You'll wait forever for replacement parts

I just joined the platform a week ago. Set up my PayPal acct. To get paid. Well, a fraud alert recently popped up from my bank for an unauthorized $350 charge from their international website services. My fraud team tried to stop the charge and reverse it... but were unsuccessful... still working on it. PPH are downright crooks that will steal your money. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM.

Complete waste of time, as no actual support in case you get stuck

  • MetroPCS

11/20/21

I switched to Metro after dumping Verizon due to crappy network and service. Big mistake. Some friends who were on Metro seemed pleased with their service, so why not. Anything had to be better than Verizon network, right. Wrong. Most days I have 1 signal bar, and the Metro apps DO NOT WORK. Every time wifi calling and Metro registry pops up for me to 'verify' it crashes. And no actual support. Hard pass. As soon as my 30 days are up I'm switching.

I remember when this platform was THE PLACE outside of YouTube for exploring video shorts etc. Now it's gone to garbage. I have a trial membership because I am not getting tanked (screwed) for something that doesn't work. I've attempted several times to upload a dozen or so clips that I assumed would automatically capsulate, the same as standard PC moviemaker. Nope. It uploaded my clips separately, and then keep freezing on me when I tried to "merge" them all into a single video. Such a joke.

  • Payless Shoes

9/20/21

I remember when Payless was THEE go-to shoe store in any mall or shopping plaza. You got decent quality shoes on a budget, and they lasted many years. NOT TODAY. They went bankrupt a few years back and are now 'revamping' for 2021. But I should have known better when I visited the website for pair of dress shoes. Most of the options were terrible quality, including the house slippers. Like something you'd find in the free bin, at a garage sale.

I ordered a pair of taupe booties (low heel dress boots) in a size 6M and found it strange that there was no invoice or return shipping anywhere in the box. The shoes fit okay, but the heel did not. It easily slipped in out and around the very wide opening which was hugely disappointing as they are aesthetically pleasing, but not great quality. And returns are NOT FREE, but charge up to $7. So if you paid $18 for your shoes, you may as well cough the loss.

I signed up with Mandy a few months ago. Got my actor (and crew) profiles all situated, including headshots. Then my inbox gets suddenly overloaded with junk "audition gigs" and messages to change my headshots, as "there is something wrong, they are not professional" When they most certainly are! Two different photographers I paid good money to. I click into my profile to see Mandy's notes about "please change your headshots, your profile won't go public until" nonsense. I honestly gave them the benefit. But as Backstage bought them out, I believe I only wasted my valuable time creating my profile. They don't answer when you call for help. And they DO NOT respond to Contact Us.

Tip for consumers:
They are a total mixed bag since Backstage bought them out/merged

  • Guideposts

8/19/21

What has happened to Guideposts? For over 20 years now they were the top inspirational magazine, just above Readers Digest. Well I went to renew my annual today, and discovered they lowered the 12 month to a 6 month. But same cover price! Talk about ridiculous. And according to other longtime subscribers, this is a most unwelcomed and disappointing switch. What a pity, because it was a terrific magazine.

  • Better Business Bureau

8/13/21

I had to file a complaint against Anker Technologies for their shoddy business practices during the Covid mess. These are the infamous wireless earbud people. This was June 2021, so fairly recent. BBB sends me system email updates that my "complaint is under review and someone will follow up" Then two other emails stating my complaint is marked 'invalid' because it was a duplicate. WTH. I click the links to see their automated response, including a cheap "apology" from Anker. But no option to proceed. So basically Anker STILL has my money, and I won't hold my breath that I'll ever get it refunded!

Tip for consumers:
Caveat!

What book buyback doesn't offer a Search option in case the ISBN doesn't work? Talk about bomb crazy. Don't waste your time as there are other better, legit book buybacks like Book Scouter and Book Scouter.

Verified site experience

So pleased that your site allows for easy editing of an order such as changing the size or the color, on the checkout page. Made it super easy for me to check out, instead of having to back page or click on the logo to navigate to the same page, to make those changes!

Reason I chose this business:

Because my local university store is temporarily closed or unavailable right now.

I recently tried to conduct some personal research of archived death notices and obituaries. A few of them hitting brick walls of dead or unresponsive links. The Customer Support links also open to bad server or unresponsive pages that are limited to family or DNA search. No actual contact support.

Tip for consumers:
Do not bother. They are unresponsive and too many broken links.

  • TeePublic

I ordered 4 tee shirts from their designers. 3 movie, and one TV. The 3 movie tee shirts turned out fine. But the TV shirt was poorly done, with the right side of the character's face all lopsided and a very droopy eye. Like Sloth from the Goonies. You bet I returned that one for a full refund. Not sure I will reorder.

  • Trustpilot

6/21/21

I recently attempted to leave a review over an apparel company that sent me defective product and the site kept giving me 'sorry but we are unable to post at this time. Try again later' Regardless how many times I refreshed the screen. And I've never had any problems posting reviews. The Bot session is useless. No one responds. TrustPilot has jumped the shark and now sucks.

HP has truly slipped the wig since the 2020 Covid. Their Support no longer mans the website as my account still shows the same info from 2018, when I just bought and registered a new PC and printer this June. Their notifications still show the same lame warnings from 9 months ago. Its a waste of time using the lame Digital Assistant which will only bump you around to other 'support' options that are outdated, or plain do not work.

  • Target

6/8/21

I decided to give target.com one more chance as I had a $38 gift card and needed a new Keurig. The last 2 orders I'd placed at the website never went through the system and I received "We're sorry" cancellation emails. This time around I specifically selected phone curbside pickup Text notification alerts. To cover all bases. NOPE. I go into my email 3 days later to see what the heck is going on … and discover another order cancellation "ooops... looks like you forgot to pick something up"

What utter BS. They will never get their crap together.
Target.com you have PERMANENTLY lost my business.

F* this idiot company. I recently ordered several front-close bras that were on sale. But when I got to the shopping cart to pay, the website went buggy. I tried refreshing the page, and everything disappeared! I will go to Amazon where I KNOW I will receive my stuff!

Tip for consumers:

After I went to check-out, the shopping cart wiped out my order!

Don't know what happened...but they've become the weakest link. I remember playing a few hidden objects years back, on a platform that was fully attainable including its ratings. Now it's just dead space with every shown game of interest stating 'you've played the trial, please purchase!' garbage. At least Big Fish was more helpful.

Tip for consumers:
Waste of time as the platform isn't transparent over what's been played or paid

3/3/21

The site used to be on its A-game, but that has changed. I joined in 2018, when they were starting out. And content was fresh with award-winning ideas, and real industry pros willing to lend their expertise. Not so much now. Their online content streaming doesn't work half the time, desktop OR mobile. Their CS is nonexistent. Its days before you get any viable response, if its not some idiot automated email with 'do not respond'.

Tip for consumers:
Don't be in a sweat to contact them about anything. You won't hear back for days, if that.

12/2/20

I was on/off again with Voices123, as they were purportedly 'upgrading' their site platform. Whatever. Grew tired of emails for very last-minute animation and commercial 'auditions' that closed within 6 hours (true story) So I spammed them so I wouldn't have to deal with the junk. Just recently decided to log back in to see if anything had changed or improved since Dec 2022. NOPE. Upon editing the samples in my profile, the pages wouldn't respond, or kept giving me errors stating something had moved, or was no longer an option. Wth. Okay... I am permanently done with Voices123 as no one at the wheel. Whatever. Their loss.
