I ordered 3 items (tee shirts) from Appleseeds for 66.00 and change. I returned them as I did not like the quality within 60 days as is their policy and used their pre-paid label which resulted in a 9.99 charge against refund OK understood. But when amex posted the return amount it was only for 43.00 and change. So they charged me 23.00 and change to return goods (not one item even cost this much) absolutely a ripoff and unethical business practices. Additionally they charged me 1.97 and 14.97 as recurring charges for a VIP program I did not authorize. Amex would not help as they said it was recurring charges but could produce no signature for it. After calling Appleseeds they finally refunded VIP charges but no such luck on returned merchandise. Will never buy anything from them again and I would recommend that if you do buy from them be aware of their unethical business practices.

My husband contracted covid in Jan 2021, emailed his primary hoping to get at least meds to aid him as he has a-fib heart condition. Was not looking for a 2 hour turnaround, but his doctor, Dr. Paul, never ever contacted him. Three days later with myself and daughter advocating for him as he was too sick we got another dr. at Kaiser to prescribe meds. I am not with Kaiser and I got help as I contracted covid within 24 hours. He went to the ER at one point, but I believe the worst was over and he was offered no treatment. However, they told him he had diabetes and had had it since June when his blood sugar was over 300 and at the ER was 330. His primary missed this as well and failed to tell him he was diabetic form June to Jan. Needless to say we have switched primary care physicians. Kaiser is has slipped horribly since he first selected that plan and I believe they absolutely no longer deserve their 5 star Medicare rating. To be fair the doctor he finally got help from (late in the game) really helped him via telecon and scrips, now couldn't his primary Dr. Paul do right by him absolutely no explanation no contact really poor on his part. Filed a non-Medicare grievance and was told simply oh well he finally got help and will let the team know about his experience - no action taken. Should have filed a Medicare grievance but didn't and didn't know he was not given any diabetic help when he first became a diabetic and as a result now has diabetic retinopathy, which may have been avoided if he was given care and meds sooner. Kaiser in our opinion caused him harm, not help.

I ordered a cashmere sweater from rue la la and stated it was on sale for 129.99 when i received product thin sweater did not like no problem but returning was problematic.

But second product ordered from alor bracelet was totally deceptive; shown larger in pic and stated 1250 product reduced to 199.00 too good to be true sure was. It was so small and not as advertised; will be returning it and not ordering from rue la la ever again. The kicker was when going on alor site the price prior to discount was 350. Can you say class action complaint. Don't use rue la la it is not the discount or quality it purports.

Porch is a pay as you go or subscription lead service with a monthly fee associated. As business is slow we (painting contractors Los Angeles area for 40 years) tried it. The leads are stale, cold canvassed and almost always non-viable.

We had to pay for a vetting background check (next scam by all these cos.) and were pressured into 250.00 per month budget until I researched myself and saw the pay as you go option, agent never revealed this imagine that.

Long story short they DON'T MAKE IT RIGHT WHEN A CUSTOMER DOES NOT RESPOND AFTER REQUISITE NUMBER OF CALLS AND TEXTS WITHIN A 3 day timeframe YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CREDITED BACK. WELL THE BLOODSUCKERS HAVE A RULE IF YOUR VOICEMAIL IS 60 seconds or more THEY WILL ASSUME YOU SPOKE WITH THE DEAD LEAD AND NO CREDIT. Ridiculous contractors leave lengthy voicemails or even moderately lengthy to try to get a callback do you need a STOPWATCH TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE CROOKS.

Bottom line they cold canvass people and leads are iffy at best 250.00 and 130.00 later only 2 estimates one did not go the other told me she used her cleaning lady's husband and just wanted to compare prices.

Don't use Porch the results for your company will not justify the expense. THEY DON'T MAKE IT RIGHT THEY DEVISE NO WAYS TO MAKE IT WRONG to only enrich them.

Additionally the leads can cost 48 plus and 54 plus for unspecified 1-2 or 3-5 rooms to paint ABSOLUTELY A RIPOFF. They don't know how to realistically price leads and know nothing about the trades period.
