Overstock.com: Really, really inept customer service.

Wed, 20 Oct 2004 15:43:15 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author riggshillfarm - I shop from Overstock routinely and have always been delighted until something went wrong. The customer "service" was unbelievably bad. They just couldn't get it straight. A new person answers the phone or email each time and they keep compounding...

Universally rotten.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author riggshillfarm - I chose this Universal remote because it is a Sony, looks good and was mid-price range. How difficult could a remote be? Very, in this case. Actually, it works fine on the tv, dvd and vcr. But it will not work on the RCA DirecTV satellite receiver. I...

J&R Music and Computer World Online Store: Definitely will shop there again.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author riggshillfarm - Easy to use web site, excellent selection. Excellent to fair prices. Better return policy than many others. Incredible speed of delivery. I ordered in the afternoon and it arrived the following morning!!! At no extra...

Very good, but some flaws.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author riggshillfarm - Like many other reviewers I found this phone to have a good range, clarity (no tin can echo), nice heft and useful features. Down side is definitely the answering machine, which usually sounds as though the speaker is under water. Based on that, I would...

Thank you Epinioners for your advice

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author riggshillfarm - This radio is sensational. I live among mountains and have never been able to get a consistently clear signal. This radio picks up many more stations than others, locks on to them and sounds great. It's also easy to use. I take it into the garden and...

Looks great. Works great.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author riggshillfarm - Electric kettles finally made it to the U.S. This one is a keeper. It looks just like the 78541 (meant to confuse us dyslexics). I've had it about two years. Boils water in no time. Nice looking, good ergonomics, good value. You can't really get at the...

Started great - got bad to worse.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author riggshillfarm - I owned the previous generation Finepix (2600 - see review), which broke and was repaired too poorly by Fuji to use. Just because I had invested in the data cards, I bought this Fuji Finepix. It took great pictures, but had an awful lag time and battery...

Works great - until it doesn't.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author riggshillfarm - This was my first digital camera. It initially took great pictures and worked flawlessly. About a year later (as soon as the warrantee ran out) the zoom stopped zooming. I sent it back for repair and was charged $75. to fix it (what was I thinking?). It...

Fine food, but not unique

Thu, 1 Jan 2004 20:58:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author riggshillfarm - The food here is just fine, but I wouldn't place it above it's competition on Lincoln Road. The green curry was just right, the tempura was perfect - light and non greasy. Duck salad was very nice, teriyaki was too syrupy sweet. The most satisfying...

It ain't the Famous

Thu, 1 Jan 2004 20:40:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author riggshillfarm - I'm originally from Miami and return annually. As the population gets more Latin/European and less Jewish, the delis die off as well. With Wolfies and the Famous gone, I decided to give Arnie and Richie's a try after a 20 year hiatus. Verdict:...

TRAVELOGUE 2003: Luxor

Fri, 25 Apr 2003 15:07:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author riggshillfarm - When you stay at the Luxor don't forget anything in the room. Distances are big. Hiking big. In fact the kids added Luxor treks to mileage accrued in the National Parks. CHECKING IN: No line and brisk except that I suspected that the clerk was a rookie...

Travelogue April 2003: Flaming Hotel

Wed, 23 Apr 2003 12:35:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author riggshillfarm - CHECK-IN: Fearing reputed long lines at the hotel, we checked in at the airport. That was a breeze except that the gals did not know the rooms. My request for a renovated, quiet, non-smoking room was met with everything but. Our 10th floor room faced the...

Comparing the Hotel Intercontinental, Windsor Court, Marriot and Pere Marquette

Wed, 5 Feb 2003 17:46:45 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author riggshillfarm - Family obligations have brought us to NOLA 4 times in past 2 years. We've had good opportunity to compare hotels.

The location of the I-C is in the Warehouse District, which has nothing to see other than trendy new hotels. It's good for one stroll...
