Review of ancestry

What a disappointment!

What a disappointment!I can't believe what little information I was given. Matches are either/or (nephew or half brother). Really? If I want to know how we are related, I have to pay MORE money. I have 40 traits in common with relatives but you only share 5 - if I want to see more, I have to pay MORE money. Total scam! My daughter got me 23 and Me for Christmas and that gave me much more information than Ancentry did. I wanted to compare the 2 results, but really no comparison.

Review of vogue

Couldn't go less than 1 star

Couldn't go less than 1 starThey are crap and PayPal even worse. I thought PayPal are supposed to protect you - no wayAussie Vogue company is just a scam and should be banned from Australian website. Tried to stop sale going through with PayPal - no help in the first instance. Then when I returned dress and no refund, PayPal again has not helped meShame, Shame, ShameI have learnt my lesson-no online buying. At least Australian companies follow OUR legislation😠😠😠

Review of teachable

Pros and Cons

I want to provide feedback about Teachable. The company has undeniable advantages, some drawbacks, and certain features one should be aware of.Starting with the advantages:1. An undeniable plus is that Teachable is the only company I know of that collects and pays VAT. This means you don't have to register as a taxpayer in different jurisdictions. Teachable takes care of this issue for you.2. I found the functionality of linking payment options to the same course very convenient. You can create subscriptions, installment payments, and one-time payment options, creating different access levels for students from various countries or marketing funnels.Now for the drawbacks:1. Some of my students have payment issues—they contacted Teachable support. While support communicates with course creators, my students received no responses to their inquiries. Students still write to me, and I must forward their requests to Teachable. I consider this a drawback.2. The second drawback is the inability to refund students for the last month of automatic payments. Often, students want to cancel the subscription but forget—in such cases, they ask me to refund the last month. This usually happens immediately after the payment is taken. Unfortunately, I can only refund the payment within the first 30 days with Teachable.Features:There are several features you need to be prepared for:1. Teachable has implemented a strict payment verification system. This means that if anything in a transaction seems suspicious, the transaction is immediately blocked. The risk assessment is much stricter than what Stripe applies by default. This means a transaction can be blocked even if the student lives in Europe and uses a secure European bank. Be prepared to handle each such case. In my experience, there were 4-5 blockages per week. The issue of unblocking has not been resolved quickly. So, be prepared for the potential loss of some students due to strict security rules. I recommend that Teachable maintain the security level at the default Stripe Radar settings.2. Be prepared that if your student pays in installments and wants to pause a course with dripping content for a month or two and then continue, this won't be possible. Teachable does not have a solution for pausing and resuming course access.My rating fluctuates between 3.5 and 4, but I am inclined to give it a four because the VAT payment assistance is a charming service.

Review of squarespace

Squarespace - Lots Of Bugs / Horrible Service

In an era where consumers are constantly fed misinformation, topping my list to that end is Squarespace's claim of "award-winning service." Look at their rating here. I have been with them for several years because I did not want to spend so much time and money on Wordpress. During that time, 90% of the service requests result in CYA cut and paste responses that NEVER solve the problem. The cut and paste excuse they love most is they can't control 3rd party issues, even though it's their code, not the 3rd party, that is causing the issue. I have a business website that has suddenly stopped showing social images. After two years of hell with Squarespace, I know submitting a ticket will solve absolutely nothing. I'll get the same tired excuses, lazy service, that I have always gotten from them. Far from award-winning. So rather than being able to concentrate on my business with a web platform that consistently works, I now have to take time I do not have, to yet AGAIN- hire a developer to solve their issues.

Review of squarespace

Destroyed my data without warning

I spent a large amount of time building a website using Squarespace, only to have them recklessly erase my data without so much as a warning. I strongly recommend avoiding Squarespace and using Webflow, Wix, or WordPress instead!

Review of lonelyplanet

Order MHI-358-GM123634

Order MHI-358-GM123634. Not even arrived within the preposterously long 10 day delivery (10 days? We're in the 21st century, right?). I've been to the destination and back without the guide I paid for. Nowhere on their site to comment on this. I suppose a refund is out of the question, you useless lot?

Still one of the best platform for games - you can download and store the installers, no DRM (mostly), that's something to appreciate.

Review of zoom

Great service

Couldn't convert a recording. Contacted the tech guys and they were able to manually convert the files I sent them within 24 hours. Unusually good service from a tech behemoth. Very impressed.

Review of ibm

They don't even worth one star

They don't even worth one star. What the joke and I ask the guy for webex and the guy did not even want to do that. They hire bunch of India guys but these guys just fxxk crazy and I wonder how can they survive in IBM or get hired. Some guys just leave the priority one on the shift.

Review of getyourguide

User-friendly platform, ease and quick to book tours.

Something that draws my attention is the user-friendly platform used to search and to book the tours. I've been using the system to make research of interesting attractions wherever we go for holidays and it works very well. Even for cancellations, I could experience it and the refund was quickly available to me. Perfect.

Review of eBay

Bought a one-of-a-kind item for almost $450. Seller did not ship it. I then found the same item relisted under a different number. After 2nd listing expired with no bids, seller offered to send the item but never did. Tried to alert Ebay to fraud, but they never responded. Every time I call their customer service number now it says that I have called outside of normal business hours (11:00 AM on Tuesday?) and hangs up on me. Ebay's fraud department is worthless, their money back guarantee is a joke, and their customer service is non-existent. BUYER BEWARE!

Review of airtable

Fun and helpful tool

I used Airtable for multiple projects, from a tech startup to an 8-figure factory. It has the ability to kick-start any business system before making investments in infrastructure.And to be completely honest, it's also fun to work with the interfaces.
