Terrible Customer Experience: Held My Money Hostage After Cancelling My Order I recently had a frustrating experience with theshoecompany.ca (The Shoe Company), which is affiliated with the U.S. site DSW.com. I placed an order through their Canadian website, only to have it canceled due to the item being out of stock. While such issues can happen, what followed was completely unacceptable.Instead of promptly refunding my payment, they left the transaction in a "pending authorization" status on PayPal. Most reputable retailers would immediately refund the payment or release the authorization in such cases. However, The Shoe Co. refused to manually cancel the authorization from their PayPal account, leaving my money in limbo and completely inaccessible.I reached out to The Shoe Co. for help, but their response was ineffective and dismissive. They repeatedly failed to take responsibility for the issue or resolve it in a timely manner. This forced me into a frustrating back-and-forth between their customer service and PayPal, who informed me that the authorization could only be canceled by the merchant. Despite this, The Shoe Co. refused to act, leaving me with no choice but to wait for the authorization to expire automatically—an absurdly long timeframe of several days.This situation is entirely unacceptable. The Shoe Co. should never advertise items they do not have in stock, let alone take payment for them. To make matters worse, instead of acknowledging their error and rectifying it immediately, they created unnecessary inconvenience by withholding my money and failing to address the issue efficiently.To anyone considering shopping with The Shoe Co. or DSW: be warned. If something goes wrong with your order, you may end up stuck in a bureaucratic mess, with your money held hostage and no resolution in sight. This experience has left a very bitter taste, and I will not be shopping with them again.I urge The Shoe Co. to seriously review their refund processes and improve their customer service. Holding onto a customer's money after canceling their order due to no fault of their own is not only unprofessional but also a complete violation of basic customer trust.

Review of BBC
I am giving it one star as thats the minimum allowed. Is this really the best the BBC can do? Wide ranging nonsense stories and an avoidance of actual issues. Bias and agenda reporting at its finest. No depth and little detail, no balance and most of the actual airtime repeating stories on a loop between the same adverts.
Review of agoda
Beware! The message system built into the website & app does not allow hotels to send you external links for online check-in (they block them "for your security"). because of this I couldn't get the link I needed. because of that they hotel forced me to pay for the night anyway even though I couldn't check in. Agoda supported the hotel, no refund, despite it being a failure of their messaging system design. I won't use them ever again. I spent almost 8 hours over 2 days messaging with their customer service team who just couldn't understand the issue - despite it being crystal clear that it's not my fault - and just kept siding with the hotel when it's Agodas issue if anybody's.

Please don’t fall into their subscription plan. They will take you into their monthly plan and if you need to cancel the subscription, you will have to pay 50% cancellation fee which is a significant amount. Only useless images are free and if you need any good images, they will ask you to pay more. Please don’t fall into the trap.
Review of medium
I used to LOVE Medium. It has been a godsend for learning specific web development concepts through their software developer writers' walkthrough demos.Today, I'm halfway through setting up a walkthrough on my computer and I get Medium's all too frequent message these days: "To keep reading this story, create a free account."This is disgusting. I just wasted over half an hour on an article I apparently can longer read. (How can you give me access to an article and then suddenly decide half way through my reading it that I have to now pay for access??)This blatantly obvious and overly-aggressive push for monetizing off their readers is getting out of control.From now on I will sadly be going Out of my way to avoid Medium articles and find reference material elsewhere. (Cannot believe I am even saying this - was such a huge fan of this group.)Such a shame for what seemed like was a good-natured company with integrity to take a turn like this...
Review of IMDb
4 out of 5th commercial generally tends to glitch causing a viewer to exit app. Upon reentry, they're forced to watch 5 MORE commercials. If that's not frustrating enough, at times, after watching 5 more it'll, then again, glitch giving you a split second of the movie, then forcing you to watch 5 more. That's 15 commercials, which I find extremely manipulative. One thing in life that's intolerable is being manipulated. IMDb, of ALL apps, is usually the very last I'll consider. Not that I listen to or watch ANY of the commercials. Mute mute mute & clean on commercials. Advertisers, I'm certain, are already aware.
Review of hp
Horrendous, unfathomably terrible experience. The worst customer service interaction I have ever had, and I have had many disappointing interactions with other companies. I will never purchase another HP product for as long as I live and will actively discourage others from doing so unless this issue is completely rectified. First of all, I have used this printer for two years before the scanner stopped connecting to the computer. I did a reset on the printer and it stopped connecting to the Internet. I tried to get support from HP, but, unbelievably, you have to purchase a $60 “care plan” in order to talk to anyone on the phone. So, I sucked it up and spent the money, only to find that the “care plan” only activates one month after purchase, so I had to wait an entire month to get support. After waiting a month, I finally am able to call support to try to get help connecting the printer to the Internet, the same exact Internet that it had been connected to before the reset. The customer “support” representative was without a doubt the rudest, most aggressive, most insulting, and least knowledgeable representative I have ever dealt with. Almost immediately he started yelling at me to download some software where he could take control of my computer. In another classic HP move, the software did not open, so the yelling from the representative intensifies. He then makes me click a link to livestream video from my phone while he is yelling instructions at me in a very lazy manner, all the while with a tone of voice implying he could not care less about the issue and that I am wasting his time. He yells instructions at me for an extremely basic reboot of the printer that I have already done dozens of times before. When that doesn’t work (shocking), he gives up and says I need to contact the Internet provider, even though the printer connected to the same Internet with no problem before. None of my other devices have this issue with the Internet connection, only the garbage HP printer that I have sunk probably $500 into by now.I am appalled by this experience, and days later my blood continues to boil with anger. The company should be ashamed of itself for offering subpar products, engaging in predatory warranty schemes, and hiring pugilistic “support” representatives. Shockingly bad. Absolutely shameful.

Review of asus
Motherboard did not have drivers installed, including WiFi, which made installing windows very difficult. I had to bypass and manually get them via usb on laptop. They won’t let me publish my review on their website, but the b650a gaming WiFi mobo literally had no pre existing drivers available (when going to Armoury Crate, the mobo showed “N/A” when looking at “drivers previously installed”.

Review of tiktok
Let me start by saying the app itself is very entertaining and probably the best social media platform around now entertainment-wise.My issue is with their moderation of content but mainly the moderation of comments.I'm Head of Customer Care at a company that runs online dating sites so I deal with moderation day in/day out and have done so for over 10 years and I'm shocked by how poor their moderation is.Racism, sexism, grooming, and an abundance of awful things generally are all RIFE all over the app.They use AI to detect anything that believe should not be there but the AI must be of the lowest quality as Stevie Wonder would be better at identifying these things.Post AI detection, I believe that it then goes through to a human for review but they're just as awful. They need to completely rethink their moderation process, training of staff, and invest heavily to improve it as it's a cesspit and not the kind of place you'd want your children to be if they end up on the wrong side of TikTok which as far as I've seen, is all of it.With the money it makes the security they provide is simply not good enough!

Review of lg
On the November 18, 2019 I bought 6 appliances from Home Depot. The total price was 4,761.19 (order H4002-172730).On the December 2, 2019, the delivery comany (chosen by Home Depot, not by me) delivered the 6 appliances. During the delivery attempt, 4 of the bought objects was damaged (hit, scratched). One wall and two stairs were also damaged (dents, scratches). Only 2 of the 6 appliances were properly installed in their designated place in my home. Even though I did pay for the extra installation parts kit, the workers installed the appliances using the already existing parts (from my old appliances). They did not leave the paid for parts with us, when leaving our house.The delivery company took the 4 appliances which had damages, put them in their truck and left.On the same day, I called LG Manufactury to schedule a new delivery appointment.The old appliances (the ones that were still working) were donated to the salvation Army on the December 3, 2019.Also, on the December 3, LG Manufactury brought to my attention that the next possible delivery date is the December 13,16, 18, 19... I then proceeded to ask if we can come up with a more efficient solution, as at that moment in time I did not have a working stove, fridge and washing machine in my home. LG Manufactury mentioned that the delivery company should have left the scratched/damaged new appliances in my home, until the new ones arrived. This was not communicated to me on the day of the delivery.I contacted Jae Ghio, the appliance specialist, from whom we bought the appliances and I got the confirmation that the new appliances should have indeed been left in our home, even if they were not to our satisfaction. We then got connected to Terri Clark (appliance troubleshooter) and her supervisor, who said they will actively look for solutions so that we do not have to wait for another 2 weeks for the new delivery.After 2 days, the above mentioned came back to me, but they were not as willing to help as they initially insisted to be. I got the feedback that there is no solution and that it is our fault for donating the old appliances, as now we have nothing to use instead. At this moment, their offer to return the money is definitely not in my interest or desire.My family and I waited for 2 weeks for these appliances and now, because of the errors and lack in judgement of someone else, we have to be without a fridge, washing machine and stove for another 2 weeks. And this after we paid almost $5,000.
Review of euronews
The one really great thing on Euronews is the "No Comment" segment, which speaks louder than any words, especially badly spoken ones. Two major problems with Euronews are 1) the news coverage is totally superficial, without the remotest analysis in depth, a minor exception being the strangely titled "Brussels, My Love" program which at least presents some kind of panel discussion, with at least some sensible questions put by the (Irish female) presenter.2) Worst of all, the speakers are appallingly, abysmally awful at speaking in the English language. They seem without exception to be non native English speakers, which does not have to be a bad thing, except that they seem to recruited perversely as the worst possible available, with pronunciation, phrasing, voices and accents usually more like Disney animated characters than actual human people. Is it possible these voices are artificially generated?? Certainly no English language speakers sound like them. Tonight, 27th Jan 2024, a female speaker, talking about the suspension of funding to UNRWA in Palestine, incredibly spoke the words "the who chief said...etc", oblivious to the meaning of the acronym "WHO", or its correct "W-H-O." pronunciation, as if the written phrase "the WHO chief etc...", was being read out either by a disabled person or by a robot.For an English language service it is essential that speakers be native English speakers, for the benefit of both its English language viewers naturally, and even more importantly for its foreign viewers who will learn much more correct English by hearing it spoken correctly, rather than by unnatural sounding speakers which obviously only perpetuates the errors of these speakers.Why then does Euronews seemingly go to extreme lengths, as if as a deliberate policy, to select and recruit almost exclusively the worst and most unnatural English speakers it can find ???
