12/30/22

I ordered a snow blower from Menards.Com on12/21/22, and they said it would ship in full on the same day via FedX. Now Menards charged $298.00 for Fedx's priority shipping, This was a present for my son in Bridgeview, Il.Menards shipped this item from there Elk Horn, Ne store.,but FedX did not pick it up on 12/21/22. FedX shipped it on 12/22/22. So much for priority shipping. The item was delivered today, 12/29/22. I have sent a E-Mail to FedX complaining about this. As I see it they owe me some of there shipping charges, because I did not get priority shipping. In the future,I will think twice on using FedX again and so should everyone. I have called and E-Mailed them to no avail.

Tip for consumers:
They are not as good as they were.

I ordered a snow blower from Menards.com on 12/21/22. They told me it shipped from their Elk Horn, Ne. Store in full on the same day. Apparently they did not have one locally. It was a Christmas present for my son in Bridgeview, Il.I proceeded to track it and after a few phone calls they said it was not picked up by FedX that day.It shipped the next day 12/22/22. Now Menards charged $298.00 for priority shipping. It arrived at my sons house today 12/29/22. So much for priority shipping. I complained to their store manager, and he offered a $50.00 refund.I know that Menards could have done a better job. No follow up on shipment, or E-Mails to that effect. I will not make this mistake again, and so everyone else should be aware.

Tip for consumers:
Be very careful what you order.

I had a furnace shutdown on 11/21/22, and called Four Seasons Heatig & Cooling for emergency service. I was told that they were all booked up and made my appointment for the next morning. Now the weather was not so cold, but what if it was not? No other service was offered. A company that boast of 24/7 service should live up to that either by hiring more people or scheduling appointments by the emergency. I have no problem with there techs. The problem was taken care of in two appointments.

Tip for consumers:
Be careful of there 24/7 service, it is not always true .

Products used:
Tech installed new pressure switch.

Verified purchase

I ordered some chicken fingers with ranch and extra ranch, garden salad with ranch and extra ranch, beef and sausage combo with peppers, and gravy on the side at approximately 4:10 pm. See attached photo. I was told my order would be delivered approximately 4:30 pm. At 4:45 I called and spoke with store manager Patrick, who said order was waiting for Dordash driver, no time of delivery given at all. I called guest services about 5:10-15 pm and she said my order was picked up, and gave me the drivers phone number. I then called the driver, and he said he was waiting for the order to be filled. Finally at 5:35 pm my order was delivered. I suggest anyone who is ordering from this Oak Lawn store, think twice.

Tip for consumers:
Do not use, terrible service

This outfit takes the cake. Not only there surveys are quite long for there compensation, they require you to do several ID verifications and then they tell you there was a problem and you have to speak with a rep on the phone. The problem is, they do not give you a phone number. As they say, Buyer beware. Stay away from this site, it will save you time and frustration.

  • Walgreens

7/28/21

Walgreens store at 95th and Cicero, Oak Lawn, Il They do not answer there calls at there Pharmacy, asked for store manager and got the same treatment, 3 times.

Tip for consumers:
Some business's need to be reminded what customer service is. Apparently there are a lot of them.

Products used:
No products used on this occasion , called to cancel prescription .. Finally reached someone who took care of me.

I received a lift chair from my son on 12/6/2016. Excellent chair, except I recently noticed that the back rest made up of leather or vinyl was cracking and splitting. Chair is not yet 4 years old. I called Golden Technologies customer service, and they told me that is normal ware and tear. This chair was not inexpensive, so I expected a better response. I tried to contact there Ceo, Richard Golden to no avail. Apparently he is not available, or doesn' t care about his products. I would advise future customers to stay away from Golden Technologies.

  • FIXD

Fi xd does not give you complete info on problem unless you purchase the additional subscription. So, $60.00 for the plug in, and additional $70.00 a year to get the info you need to diagnose the problem. Almost sounds like a scam.

I tried there survey for free stuff, and immediately after I was finished I started getting a lot of robo phone call for sales. Should have known better, but I expected this site to be respectable. There is nothing free on the internet. Beware of surveys stating this.

  • Virgin Mobile USA

2/24/16

I would like to know if anybody else has had a problem with Virgin Mobile. I have a cell phone which is only used for emergency calls. Service was cut off because they said I did not make a payment of $20.00 to keep service going, even though I have a balance of $381.00 in my account balance. I was told way earlier that I could use my balance to keep service going. Since then after 17 calls to there customer care people they have issued a credit for service until 1/31/2017. Only one problem, they have not turned phone on because now they say tower that supplies service is doing a update. For 3 weeks//. I do not believe them because many other customers would be screaming. I have since then filed with the FCC. We will see. Internet surfing shows a lot of complaints. ADVISE

When I started this survey site, I thought it was pretty good until they keep telling me I am not filling there surveys out according to there protocol. It is not worth your time. Was supposed to be leading survey site. I thought surveys where supposed to be your opinion, not have to give back feedback on every one.
