brendalee`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll Not baby related, but does anyone know if the BBB (business bureau) really does anything if you file a report with them? I bought something and just found out they rip people off by taking the money for the items, actually using the shipping charges to pay for `shipping` and give you a legit tracking number with USPS then never ship it out and keep the money from the items. I just don`t want to waste my time filing a report if they won`t do anything anyways.

They have helped before.. It doesn`t hurt to try. Only takes a few minutes to file a report.

The BBB immediately helped solve a 5 month long dispute that I was having with blockbuster. I hate blockbuster btw!! :0)

Only if they pay and are members of BBB. I just opened a case against a cleaning crew I hired. They arent members so the BBB will attempt to contact them twice by phone and once by mail and then thats it. Its a whole different story if theyre members though.

Yeah when I went to the BB website it said they wern`t approved by them and the business rating was F for having so many complaints and zero positive comments.

My mom has her own business and just last month she paid to be approved by the BB in order to be BB approved they go over many things (finances, are you a legit company, etc) its not something you can just list your company under. Once she was approved and her company was reviewed she got a special symbol that shes now allowed to put on her company cards, and website. Now if she has a complaint the customer can go to the BB and file a report. They DO look into complaints bc they have now stamped their name on that company and approved it and dont want to look bad approving people who do not have good business ethics. People who tend to pay to have their company listed with the BB are usually a good company who doesnt cute corners (doesn`t pay employees under the table, pays taxes, charges taxes, etc)

  1. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  2. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  3. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  4. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  5. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  6. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  7. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  8. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  9. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  10. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
