Have you ever heard about the phrase “survival of the fittest”? First of all, you should probably think about the continued existence of organisms that are best adapted to their environment, with the extinction of others, as a concept in the Darwinian theory of evolution. You may also recall natural selection. But the thing is that at the present time it is the state or fact of continuing to live or exist, typically in spite of an accident, ordeal, or difficult circumstances and it is very often applied to the world of business. Companies have to survive and sometimes they sacrifice something to win this race. And this something is very often good customer service. Just like in case with Window World.
About the company. The company was founded in 1995. It was founded by Leon Whitworth. The company is headquartered in Wilmington, North Carolina. Window World claims to provide its customers with good quality products, low prices and professional craftsmen to install the products. At the present time there are around two hundreds Window World offices all over the United States. The company operates its services in forty five states. Window World is considered to be one of the leading home improvement companies. The company provides custom vinyl windows, premium vinyl siding, insulated siding, patio doors, entry doors, garage doors, and so much more. Window World claims to provides warranty on each and every products. But that is all the information that the company has told about itself and the customers in many times tell absolutely the opposite things.
Window World complaints. There have been many complaints filed against Window World craftsmen. People state that in many cases it seems like the company cares about the customer only when the customer is ready to purchase something. And then – no help and cooperation. The company focuses on new customers only. That is why very often they send installers who can hardly speak English and seem to be absolutely inapt and inexperienced. And that is all about the company that claims to be one of the leading companies in the home improvement industry! That is why it is very important for the customers to check the information about the company first and to make some small research about the advantages and disadvantages of the company. Many people write their reviews and post them on the Internet, so other people can easily read them.

Bathrooms are as important parts of houses as kitchens or bedrooms. They require constant renovation and maintenance. Bathroom appliances have to be reliable so that a house is not unexpectedly flooded or a bathtub leaks and makes it impossible to wash. Water pipelines should not freeze or fuse and the like. To avoid these unpleasant moments one should be careful when choosing equipment and service suppliers.
Company profile. Bathfitters was established in 1984 in Montreal, Canada. It began as a family business of the Cotton brothers. And today it is a leader in manufacturing of acrylic shower bases, bathtub liners and walls in the North America. Bathfitters specializes in production, sales and installment of shower bases, bathtubs, bath and shower walls, tub and shower doors, domed ceilings, and a great number of accessories. Bathfitters also offers installation and repairing services. The goods are shipped directly to the retailers.
Customers’ reports. What is worse poor quality of goods or awful services? It is the controversial question. In case with Bathfitters the situation is the following – the company provides equipment of high quality which is backed by horrible installment service personnel who manage to spoil other equipment in the household. They do not carry any responsibility for what and how they do their job. Improper installation, work that remains unfinished for several weeks, lack of experience of the personnel, empty promises and deceptive information – this is the advertisement the company should provide. Although the quality of the equipment is quite high. But what do you need a good toilet sink for if it stands in the corner of a closet and has no outlet to sewerage system? And one more thing, the company is not afraid to lose its clients. the reverse tendency is observed. It is not the customers that do not come back, it is the company who does not serve those client who cause it too much trouble. It seems that managers have not yet heard about customer care policy.

Walt Disney founded an empire that makes the dreams of children and adults come true. This empire provides us with fantastic and marvelous cartoons about magical and imaginary beings and lands, trips in fairy tale theme parks and cruises. All these things were created to help people become happier, kinder and more honest. Even when it seems that everything goes wrong, there is always a chance to forget about the troubles and cruelty of the real world and dive into the oceans of Disney. And moments like these help us to come back with sober mind and plenty of ideas. But shadow of problems can fall even across Disney’s kingdom.
Disney Cruises. People often complain about the problems with the food on Disney ships. Some of the pissed consumers tell about food poisoning. People write in their Disney complaints, that after eating the food they were having horrible pain and gastroenteritis. There are also problems with fountain pools. After playing there, kids become violently ill and start to vomit. Besides, the company can change the itinerary without asking the customers who have booked the cruise over a year and more in advance. And no one is going to compensate or make up for any losses. In addition, the company can change the terms for sea and land packages and the customers have to agree another rates.
Disney Theme Parks. Besides, in other Disney complaints people write that the legendary Disney customer service can turn out to be horrible and poor. Travel agents that work with Disney can be very rude and make it impossible even to book the trip properly. In the parks, the employees are sometimes so incompetent that they cannot cooperate and solve any problems. People, who had any troubles with Disney cannot but wonder: how such expensive services and products can be of such poor quality sometimes? In such a way the company looses the existing customers who had negative experience and a lot of new customers who would be told about that experience.

And the present time consumer law is a very developed and frequently used law. If you listened to all the complaints, you could think that the unhappiest people on the planet are the consumers. And that everybody tries to cheat them, hurt them, take their money and disappear. But this is not a hyperbola. This is a real state of things. That is why some websites appear, which are like this one. And the consumers nationwide unite and try to fight the fraudulent companies themselves, without the help of government that could allow such businesses to prosper. And these businesses are numerous. One of them is Overstock.
About the company. Overstock.com was created as an on-line retailer of overstock and closeouts goods and many other things. The idea was not bad, but the implementation appeared to be bad. There have been hundreds of complaints filed against the company. Maybe that is one of the reasons why Overstock has never become such a popular Internet resource like Amazon.com. Because it does not have that popularity among the consumers and they do not support it. Amazon.com has also many negative points, but they are not the majority. And Overstock has not so many positive points to fight the overwhelming complaints.
Overstock complaints. People write complaints against the company very often. And most of them are concerning poor customer service. Overstock customer service employees are very often being rude and enable to help the customer. The other reason of the complaints is bad delivery service. Some customers of Overstock claim that they have been waiting for their order for several weeks. And it was impossible to get the delivery at the time that was mentioned. One more reason is poor quality of goods. On the pages of the site everything look so wonderful, just perfect and the price is very tempting. And people order the item to make them happier. But what they saw on the pictures is not what they get in reality. And then there come problems with refund, exchange and so on.
