  • ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR COLUMBIA
    By admin on June 24, 2009 | No Comments Comments

    This is an unpaid; non commercial review.

    One of our associates recently rented a car from this rental car company. Amazingly ; after he was assured that his credit card would not be charged until he returns the car , he was charged without permission ( yes … it was in the paper work ; but he was verbally assured that he won’t be charged ).

    To make the story short; the franchise owner refused to apologize or take any responsibility. It got worst; they charged him one more time after the car was returned, in spite of telling him he was all paid up .

    Here is our view: they get 0 out of 5. Gush … we wish we could give them a negative score.

    By it selves; this wouldn’t usually be a big deal – but the issues at hand is trust. How, when, where can you trust a company if their word is unreliable at best and deceptive at worst?

    In this particular case ; we would argue that this particular location in Columbia MO is simply a bad choice . There are others that are available , friendlier , and more honest .

    Non paid, non commercial product review of Directory Maximizer

    We used the manual submission service from Directory Maximizer several times. Their manual submission service is accurate and timely. Their submission services are very useful and bring visible results. The back end is also designed very friendly and intuitive. Directory Maximizer also reward it users by letting them earn points which can be used for additional free submissions.

    The only issue is the cost – per manual submission cost is about 0.14 cents which can quickly add up to hundreds of dollars if multiple site submissions are undertaken. Other than that, Directory Maximizer is a very viable, useful, and solid business with appealing services.

    We give them 4.5 out 5

    LazyURL

     

    As usual we are ready to report on another product / service that we have tried – LazyURL at http://www.lazyurl.com/ . Though not unique, their services are terrible. After an extensive order, we did not hear back from them at all. The payment was made but the services were not rendered. Our attempts to touch base with them via phone and email went also unanswered.

     

    Though extremely odd and unpleasant; we are reluctant to call this service a fraud. We would like to think that this entire episode was somehow a gigantic mistake. However, as up right now we can not provide a good feedback because of obvious reasons.

     

    We give them 0 out of 5.

    Pay Pal Merchant Account

    This entry is rather unusual.

    As it is usual with financial institutions, we all know that they have their own interest in mind. However, PayPal (a registered trade mark of its respective owners) is in our opinion rather uniquely self serving.

    In the past 2 years we have observed and noted a lot of self serving actions that really are not consumer friendly;  in particular their dispute resolution for non tangible goods such as e-goods.  To sum it up: there is no protection. This certainly raises the question: if Paypal is the premier online transaction processor, why is there no protection for the premier online goods i.e. e-goods?

    Certainly there is enough blame to go around, yet we would like to suggest that is primarily the consumers fault because they put up with it. If there would be enough complains they may rethink their less than ethical policies.

    As up right now, the use of Paypal is certainly not a choice rather than a lack of choice. We would like to encourage everyone that has similar experiences to email PayPal to express their disappointment.

    Hence we give them a 0 out of 5.
