This page is my
dedication to all the shitty companies out there who screw us over with
their half-ass products and service. I have had a few bad experiences,
and I will detail them here so you know not to purchase products from
that company. If you personally have had any bad experiences, let
me know the details and we'll send them to the Pit Of Despair. I've
enlisted the help of Mr. Hankey to rate the companies, however many
Mr. Hankey's there are will tell you how crappy they are. On a scale
of 1 - 10, 1 being mildly crappy and 10 being a sewer, this is how I
rate the horridness of the company.
Even though it doesn't have very many Mr. Hankey's.
This company has a special place in my hate list.
This one starts
when I wanted to buy a case for my CD's so I could bring them along
with me in my car without hassle. So I cruised on up to the Media Play
intent on buying a Case Logic cd case. Well it just so happened that
they were out of stock on Case Logic products at the time. So being
the impatient person I am I decided to buy a different brand of cd case.
It was really cool, the case was interchangable with a home storage
system if you wanted to invest the extra $ to get one and everything.
It worked great,
until one day I was listening to a cd in my car and it started skipping.
Frustrated I pulled the cd out of my player to inspect it, when I looked
at the cd I was astonished to find what almost looked like dust. I got
home and tried to clean my cd, nothing changed, it was like the dust
was glued to my cd. I started to pull my cd's out of the case to inspect
them, only to find that the case had done this to nearly every one.
Needless to say
I was upset. But believing in the general goodness of people, and the
fact that you don't usually try to piss off your customers I
called the company. They were very polite, and offered to send me some
free cd cleaning wipes (which did jack shit, 'cause I'd tried that before
I called.) I was mildly satisfied with this useless gesture of customer
service.
I waited about a
month, no stupid little wipes came in the mail (I had already replaced
the case with a good brand, Case
Logic). I called again, exactly as I had the first time, this time
there was not even politeness. I was given the runaround. They told
me that the person that handles those things wasn't in right now and
they would have them call me asap.
Bullshit! I never
received a call, then about a month later (still no wipes) I called
again to get the same response. I asked to speak to a manager, I was
denied. It was at this point that I gave up.
I am still trying
to repair the cd's with a really wonderful invention a Maxell
CD/CD-Rom scratch repair kit. It takes a while but I've just about
got half of the almost 50 cd's it screwed up fixed.
I just got a really
cool contraption to fix my CD's and boy is it worth it! It's called
a GameDoctor (a.k.a. SkipDoctor, DVDDoctor, & DataDoctor). I think
everyone who owns CD's should own one of these. To check them out go
to Digital Innovations
website.
This company hasn't done anything to me personally.
But they've continually done things to my sister.
Diamond Glass is a windshield replacement company. A
pretty profitable business in Utah right now, what with all of the road
construction going on and all.
Anyway, quite a while ago my sister had these people
replace her windshield. I'm not totally clear on all of the details
but I do know they screwed up bad. They didn't even install the windshield
properly. But it wasn't totally noticeable, she didn't find out until
it rained. Water literally poured through the edges of the windshield
and destroyed the mechanism that operates her sunroof.
She called and got really upset with them. They sent
someone out to replace the windshield. This time it was installed somewhat
properly, but they chopped the hell out of the rubber strip that frames
the windshield so it looks like shit. Then about two weeks later the
windshield just suddenly cracked, no rock chip or anything.
So, she called them again! They, once again, came out
to replace her windshield. Same as last time though it is cracking all
over the place, except now they aren't going to fix it.
So my advice is to stay the Hell away from this company.
They are providing a horrible service and an inferior product.
If you are in Utah Valley and need auto glass replaced,
my suggestion is to go to Ace and Jerry's in Provo. They rock! They
provide high quality service and a high quality product. I got a rock
chip in my windshield, that I bought from them, and it NEVER cracked.
More
to come soon (I promise).
I need
some material besides my own. If you've had a nasty experience with a
business please e-mail
me.
