Sears.com: In store pick-up? Don't waste your time.

Fri, 4 Jul 2008 23:02:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jcoylema - In a word: UNACCEPTABLE. The Sears.com web site gives an unsuspecting user the illusion that they can shop, select and pay for an item on-line, then go to the store to pick it up. This isn't the case. Don't be surprised that the item the web site said...

Flickr Online Service: Premium service not worth your time or money.

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 10:48:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jcoylema - I guess the greater lesson here is we should all stay away from companies that do not put customer satisfaction and service ahead of their own (small) financial gain. It seems that Flickr is afraid that customers will be knocking down their doors...

Don't waste your time calling customer support.

Thu, 3 Aug 2006 16:03:40 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jcoylema - I've had Verizon's DSL service for three or four years now. I've had very few problems connecting to the Internet or using email. My connection speeds always seem to be satisfactory. Why then am I an unhappy customer? It's simple: their customer...

The cruise experience you want it to be!

Thu, 27 Oct 2005 12:49:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jcoylema - It is a study in contrasts. This was our second Dawn cruise. Our first was nearly a year ago. Much of our activity on that first cruise centered around doing things that interested our then ten year old son and working around the restrictive schedule of...

Sharper Image Online Store: Buyer Beware!

Wed, 16 Mar 2005 19:20:13 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jcoylema - Buyer Beware. I thought I was making a wise purchase. A highly discounted Metro One CD player, albeit reconditioned, at a fraction of the normal retail price. Sharper Image's claims to the contrary, these 'reconditioned' units could not have possibly be...

Overstock.com: Fails horribly on product return issues

Mon, 10 Jan 2005 16:26:54 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jcoylema - There are a lot of sites out there that deliver good quality products at good prices. Overstock.com is one of them. The true measure of any of these sites is how well they handle issues after the sale. On this issue, Overstock.com fails horribly. We...

Thu, 10 Jul 2003 17:02:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jcoylema - There are two topics here: (1) The Ultimate TV Service and (2)The RCA "Box." I've read all of the r...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jcoylema - I purchased products from Silhouettes through Amazon.com at Christmas time for my wife. I'm writing...

Ofoto Online Store: The Damage Has Been Done

Tue, 25 Sep 2001 11:15:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jcoylema - You can disagree with me if you'd like, but I believe that the true measure of any successful business is how well they handle a problem. I recently processed an order for nearly 100 photos on Ofoto. I paid extra for 2nd day air and received my order in...

Step back in time. . . .

Mon, 22 Jan 2001 17:47:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jcoylema - We had never heard of the Tremont House and had no experience with the Wyndham chain when they accepted our reservation through Priceline for a one-night getaway.

We had a problem at check-in that the staff was quick to resolve: Priceline had...

Proflowers.com: The Fantasies of Copy Writers

Thu, 1 Jun 2000 10:26:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jcoylema - Ordering flowers for delivery to another takes a bit of blind trust. There's a good chance you'll never see the flowers, the person you sent them to might be hesitant to complain if a disappointing product is delivered.

Such was the dilemma...

Flux: As Addictive as TETRIS

Wed, 19 Apr 2000 12:31:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jcoylema - Remember how addictive Tetris was? It's been years since any computer game has captured and held my attention as much as that age-old-favorite.

FLUX started as a download on a boring rainy day. Within minutes I was hooked. The graphics are...

Excellent Choice

Wed, 19 Apr 2000 10:11:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jcoylema - I don't buy brand new cars. I buy good used cars that hold their value. As a BMW owner/driver for the past five years I had high standards for performance and amenities. I researched Consumer Reports and the Web and quickly narrowed my the field to a few...
