I had a similar experience with FedEx until I filed a BBB complaint. That got things sorted out quick.

I am still amazed that people take BBB complaints seriously. It’s just like getting a bad Yelp rewiew.

I think the fact that they're so popular is, ironically, why they're so effective. They're not a government organization, they have no enforcement arm, yet complaints there can and have resulted in satisfaction when other avenues fail.

Yelp, on the other hand, is where "let me speak to your manager"-types go to bitch about restaurants screwing up their orders. BBB complaints seem a bit more fleshed out.

Me too, I don't even know any younger people that know what BBB is.
