Dear Sirs, you astonish me! Here I am a Dutchman, working in Egypt. I have a laptop from the UK with a valid XP installation CD. So the laptop has problems, I reinstall XP and try to validate this over the internet in Egypt. Your message is: sorry we cannot validate your copy of XP over the internet. Ok, no problem, you suggest phoning, so I do. The phone numbers you give me are for a taxi company in Cairo not microsoft. So basically I am stuck. The only solution I had was to copy an illegal version of XP pro over the legal XP home version... read full review »

Nice job. BUT, after the carpet dried, the stain removal process separated the carpet where it was seemed and left a hole. DrChemdry "assured" satisfaction, but just argued we signed a disclaimer. I tried to reason with them that things happen, and I just wanted it repaired. I... read full review »

Then a couple of weeks later the charge for the Fit Factory showed up. I reported both of them to the FTC and my banks fraud department. My bank is lodging a fraud investigation of there on against.

1) Management prepared our lease wrong and refused to take fault. I have papers that prove the lease signed should have been a 13-month lease, they prepared a 14-month lease and we didn't realize their mistake until after the lease was signed.

We later realized they were just telling us what we wanted to hear to get us out of the office. When we followed-up, they had... read full review »

After picking up my belongings, VIP Relocation called to tell me they had weighed my stuff and it weighed 1680 (180 lbs over the estimate which was 1500 lbs). It seemed reasonable to me that you could be over by that amount. So I didn't contest. Then a week later they call me and tell me that they have reweighed the truck, and it actually weighed 2640 lbs!!! Which tacked on close to a $1000 to the total bill! I asked for a reasonable explanation for why there was a 1000 lbs. difference in the weights and they were unable to give me... read full review »
