Vendor Etiquette?

[Hjarta5]

How do you even find them on Yelp? I tried.

PLEASE file a complaint

Illinois Attorney General - Filing a Consumers Complaint

Anyone who has filed a complaint can also do a review via Yelp

Warning about food quality’s Dailies - Request a Quote - Bird Shops - 533 Lexington Ave, Rockford, IL - Phone Number - Yelp

I did see on the FDA website where to file a pet food complaint. Was wondering how complicated that'd be?

Thanks for the links.

Does anyone remember the Avian Avenue Complaint Department?

If you don’t like what you are seeing then scroll on by to another thread.

We have the right to post alternate opinions. That's what a forum is about.

Found it, and posted. I can not post as to fraud. I did post the problems I found with my order.

That's all any of should do. Describe what happened to 'us'. I tried to be concise and to the point.

If anyone reads it, let me know what you think.

Yes you do but if it is upsetting you that much to read others opinions that differ from your then why keep reading them

Lynn, please don't single out anyone to fight with.

Just take a breath. We all do get along here. Sometimes it's best to bite your tongue on the small stuff.

Review looks good with lots of information

Thanks Chris.

And my dad didn't want to pay to further my education because he thought I was just pretty, would get married early and have babies. Little did he know.

I'm not enjoying this. It hurts me to see someone taking advantage of people who want the best for our birds. Before this all came out I really liked this vendor, I liked their products. But I cannot, in good conscience, ignore all that has been said. Too many people (including myself) have had negative experiences, to just ignore it.

 

[SandraK]

Nothing that this vendor said or did was off but maybe my ESP kicked in. I've had it happen before with family members. It was too good to be true, too soon and too fast. Like the person you met in HS, who seemed great, really nice, polite, the whole shebang but came on too hot and heavy and made you back up and keep your back to a wall so you could see where this person was at all times. Don't have a better description other than gut feeling.

 

[macawpower58]

My only point is to tell your story.
Let others tell theirs.
If I'm not witness, nor close to the victim, I'm not repeating it.
Hearsay does no one any good.
Once enough stories are out, the truth will be known.
But too often we repeat what we here, and get it wrong.
I'd like to hope if something needs done, it's done the right way.

... you denigrated the experience that many people have had ... Maybe you care more about someone's feelings than your bird's welfare. ...You made me angry by telling others how they should feel and how they should react to an experience that you haven't had. ... Fool me twice shame, shame on me. You will always belong in the second group.

Yes you do but if it is upsetting you that much to read others opinions that differ from your then why keep reading them

Lynn, please don't single out anyone to fight with.

First, it's not upsetting me to read different opinions. I welcome them and am offering my own. I am confused though. The above was aimed at me, quoted my post. It quite clearly singles me out and is not complementary. So I'm sincerely asking why am I the only one in trouble?

Same senario as Bird Talk magazine subscribers. Very troubling indeed. This type of business practice are very common. Buyer beware has never rang truer. Unfortunately we always can't see these things coming. My takeaway from this is don't be so quick to jump on the bandwagon. Take a step back a research all i can before investing in a new product. It's best to stick with long time established companies.

I keep coming back to your statement, and am still scratching my head.

I'm near Ocala and I have some of WD mash, chop, rice dinner, and sampler bag of bakery stuff...in case someone actually wants to get this tested

I have not heard back from him yet.

Minimum charge is $750

Break it down PP could be $37.50 by 20 People, or less if 40 chip in!

Just my thoughts:
You get a bunch of old-timers yakking together, and when someone new pops up, their statements sometimes aren't as tolerated as another old-timers.
It's really not personal. No one wants you gone, or doesn't like you.
You may have accidentally stepped on a toe?
Soon you'll be loving everyone here.
