I am so mad!

Anyone ever do any business with Cellular Blowout? If not,DON'T!LOL I should have checked it out before I did. I ordered a cell phone for DH from them.It was one of those unlocked phones that is supposed to work with your current wireless provider.Got it within the reasonable time and it didn't work.So I contacted them,by e-mail as instructed, and was told to send it back for a "prompt" refund.Sent the phone back and was contacted,by e-mail,that it had been received and I would receive my refund in 10-14 days.We left and went to NM and were gone for a month,no refund.when I got back I e-mailed again asking where it was and was told that they would "re-submit" the refund request and I should get it in 10-14 days. That should have been last Wed.I gave them until Tuesday of this week,still no refund.I e-mailed again and they said it takes 10 days,it had been 10 days and I wanted my refund.Got an e-mail back with contact phone number.Called 3 times Tues.no answer,left messages.Called 10 times yesterday,no call back.Sent 2 e-mails yesterday,the last one not very nice and threatened to turn over to my lawyer.No response.Called again 3 times this morning.About an hour ago I got a call from "Catlyn" in customer service telling me that my refund will be mailed to me.They have a "new" refund system that doesn't allow them to refund it back to my credit card.Yeah,right! She said it should be here Tuesday,so I guess we shall see.Trouble is I won't be here Tuesday.I do have someone that will check my mail though.

And why is it that it only takes 24 hours for them to take your money but you can't get it back for 10-14 days?

From now on I will check out the company before I order online.Lots and lots of dissatisfied customers plus legal action for fraud on that company.OK rant over!! I feel better now.LOL

Lipstick plant........I am so mad at it right now!!!
Q

good job, it's been revived after a 2yr hiatus on the lipstick plant. mine's been suffering v badly this winter where it's leaves dropped off almost daily. it's sited next to a west-facing venetian-slatted window (that means in winter, it's fairly dim). i haven't sprayed it before, but last winter, it seemed pretty healthy. i'm not quite sure how it's got to this stage where my treatment of it has been the same. in the growing season, it's been fed weekly (i think) and watered regularly. this winter all my plants have been watered at least once a week, and they haven't been in any unnecessary heat (i didn't put my heating on this winter). do you think it was the lack of heat that's causing the leaf-drop? i'd say, the house got as cold as 5 deg. celsius (tho' that's a major estimate!) and the outdoors minus 10 deg. celsius. it's currently sitting upstairs in my east-facing bedroom, where there is more light and a tad warmer than the downstairs room. it's also had a major trim of all the dead bare stems and the unhealthy leaves taken off. anyone to help?

jpinard, I hate to tell you, but that's not how they get bf koi. They cross regular koi with native maylasian carp. Goldfish and koi are different enough that it isn't like crossing poodles and cockers for cockapoos. The offspring I get are a solid gray/brown color and are hard to see in the pond. We call them 'stealth fish'. I don't know how you're getting long finned fish with koi markings, if that's what you're basing it on. Here's a link explaining it. Here is a link that might be useful: story of butterfly koi

We actually met with our stainer, who is also our painter, after work today. Since he has worked with this stair builder before, I showed him my cabinetry & flooring samples and asked him what Jake meant by "dark maple" in his experience. He told me that stairs he has sprayed previously for Jake in dark maple are more of a walnut color and even if he just used a natural stain, he was honest enough to tell me it wouldn't look good with the ginger maple I have selected. He also told me that Jake "is a nice guy" and he's sure we'll be able to work something out. DH is leaving tonight OOT on business for 2 days so I have to work this out myself with him tomorrow. I will definitely be taking all of your advice and ensuring we have all bases covered 100%. We did actually consider painting the trim of the stairs, but I guess because our curved stairs are also open (ie: no risers) our designer wanted full wood. However we're going with satin chrome spindles that really dress them up & give them some splash. The more I think how dark that is, the more I get sick to my stomach and shake my head wondering what on earth he was thinking??? We don't have a large house either, that dark would look awful. Oh well. Wish me luck tomorrow please, I really hope I don't need it but could use all I can get. And thank you again for all of your advice, this has been very gratefully appreciated.

On new work in our area, after the drywall is up, taped, and textured, the trim carpenter comes in and hangs the unfinished cabinets, hangs all unfinished doors and casings, then baseboards. The painters then come in and spray all trims, stack the doors in a room and spray them, stain and finish the cabinets w/ wall and ceiling paint coming in last. This means overspray everywhere that gets covered by the floorings and the wall and ceiling paints. It's how they have done it here for decades. I dont do it that way on remodel or any other small project, but it is how builders have always operated on new builds and complete remodels such as yours. You didn't specify any details, but you should take necessary action for anything of value that was hurt, but it simply sounds to me they are overspraying where it will get covered by the flooring and paint. Standard m.o.

Go ahead and contest it with your credit card company. The cell phone people may be trying to string you along past the 60 limit to contact with your credit card. If you receive the refund by mail you can cash and make sure the check is good before telling your credit card company it is taken care of.

I agree, put in a dispute with your CC company. Explain the situation and ask for the refund. I think most CC companies have about a 60 day limit etc, but if it appears to be a fraud situation, the limit may be extended. Also, watch your CC and other things for a possible idenity theft situation.

My credit card is actually a debit card that can be used the same as a credit card.We don't own credit cards.LOL.Comes out of my checking account.They wouldn't be able to use the information I used when I ordered because our bank has since changed names and issued new credit/debit cards so I'm not worried about identity theft.

Awhile back I had a situation with a vendor that sounds very similar to what you are going through. Even used the same excuses and lies about 10-14 days. I finally wound up filing a report with the Attorney General's office of the state in which the company was located. It took some time, but I finally got my money back -- I also used a debit card. Now I use PayPal for online purchases. Call the AG's office and get the paperwork, you're probably gonna need it.

I am so mad!
