Did not listen to the instructions that I wanted an exact replica of the Dodge Hornet GLH badge. They created the silver badge that i sent them a photo of but ignored my color selections in their website ordering form. They also list their entire disclaimer/policy on what they won’t do, but it is so lengthy and of small font that a typical consumer would easily scroll pass at their order page.
After going back and forth with the supposed owner about marketing tactics and how they need to make it obvious on their top page in big bold font (about 2D limitations and materials), I finally told him i would apologize for not reading in length, hoping that would at least open the door for considering my feedback about marketing ethicality. Nope, didnt see anything wrong with it and used slippery slope fallacies to justify not ever experiencing customer dissatisfaction.
Dont’t buy badges from this company because they aren’t professional and will not take accountability.
Why would I want another pair of badges that are not meeting my standard??? Those type of mental gymnastics knowing the customer doesn’t want a replacement but a refund is disingenuous and nothing but a veneer of corporate exploitation to hide behind and not feel guilty or take responsibility. Didn’t even offer partial refund. I’m sure they make a lot of money doing this to others…sad.

I’ve never had an issue like I have all the time with Afterpay.

Was very patient and did not mind me clarifying my case and the circumstances of it.

Walmart, like many large corporations, appears to track the political and regulatory climate closely—and capitalize when oversight is weak. Prioritizing short-term, quarterly shareholder gains over sustainable, stakeholder-centered practices creates long-term operational weaknesses, even if it looks efficient on paper.

My recent experience highlights this problem clearly. I placed a delivery order for a 20-quart pot after my freezer failed—I needed to cook a large amount of seafood immediately. The order was confirmed, but when the driver arrived, a substitution was required. The issue? Walmart’s system does not allow meaningful upward substitutions. Anything smaller than 20 quarts was useless in my situation, making the delivery ineffective from the start.

At the same time, I ordered a $2 pack of pre-cut celery. I live about 45 minutes from the Bonham location, and given Walmart’s scale, inventory systems, and seasonal rotation practices, it’s difficult to understand how multiple comparable options weren’t available—especially for a basic item like a stock pot.

What made the situation worse was a breakdown in Walmart’s communication system. The driver attempted to message me through the app, but I never received it. I increased the tip to $20 to account for the inconvenience—he never saw that either. I tried calling, but the call wouldn’t go through, and I didn’t receive his message. Communication failed on both ends.

Because of that failure, what should have been a simple coordination issue turned into a real expense. The driver lost time and fuel, and I ended up covering costs that could have easily been avoided. What started as a $2 item turned into a $42 outcome when factoring in delivery inefficiencies and return logistics.

This isn’t just about one failed order. It reflects a broader operational model where friction, inefficiency, and risk are pushed downward onto both customers and frontline workers—while the company protects its margins and optimizes for short-term returns. Drivers absorb wasted time and fuel, customers absorb failed logistics, and the system continues operating as if those costs don’t exist.

That kind of model may scale—but it doesn’t sustain trust.

If Walmart wants to maintain long-term credibility, it needs to rethink how its substitution policies, communication systems, and delivery logistics impact real people—not just internal metrics or quarterly performance.

If these systemic issues continue to go unaddressed, legal action—including a potential class action—will become an inevitable next step as accountability mechanisms catch up to corporate behavior.

On Friday, October 3, 2025 at about 17:50 hours, I visited BioLife’s 8676 State Highway 121 location and raised a legitimate, medically documented concern: after my donation, the gauze wasn’t secured properly — again. This wasn’t the first time I’d returned with blood soaking through, and I warned them that if this happened while driving, I could faint from seeing my own blood.

This isn’t just anxiety — it’s a clinically recognized condition called Blood-Injection-Injury (BII) Phobia, which can cause people to pass out (vasovagal syncope). Behind the wheel, that can be fatal. But instead of taking my concern seriously, the manager dismissed me, refused to consider staff retraining, and ultimately retaliated by deferring me permanently when I asked to speak to someone higher.

Even worse, another donor (self-professing to be an EMS worker) interrupted the conversation, escalated the conflict, and followed me — all while staff said nothing. I was punished for speaking up, while the center allowed unprofessionalism and unsafe behavior to continue unchecked.

BioLife holds immense institutional power. If a donor were to faint while driving and crash, the company could easily influence medical investigations or law enforcement narratives to attribute the cause to something else entirely, circumventing their liability — erasing any link to their own negligence. That’s what makes this so dangerous: not just the risk itself, but how effectively it can be hidden.

Do better, BioLife. Why must I die — why must you deny?

I manage a My Verizon Business account and still—48 hours into a new cycle—last month’s bill is nowhere to be found. Instead, the portal shows a high “estimate” tied to a terminated employee’s line, and every rep (including supervisors) hides behind “the system” instead of explaining or fixing it. This isn’t my first headache:

My brand-new iPhone 16 Pro Max arrived glitchy; support bounced me between departments with no clear warranty path.

A “free” Black Friday tablet couldn’t be moved to the business plan, so it ballooned my personal account—exactly the kind of bait-and-switch upsell Verizon denies doing.

Across all these issues, customer service remains robotic and indifferent, offering scripted apologies instead of solutions.

If you value transparent billing, straightforward promos, or competent support, look elsewhere. Verizon Wireless has failed on every front.

Spoke to Veronica, a customer care representative who was amazing. Still, the shipping specialist refused to acknowledge the issues of website design, which delayed my warranty claim by over a month and caused scratches on my phone. They would not make an exception even when I told them I would write a review of the negligence on TrustPilot. Seeing all the 1-star reviews indicates their PR team doesn't care about the impact on reputation, nor sustainability and profits for shareholders, let alone stakeholder trust. DO NOT purchase from this company, PERIOD!!!

Their app, customer service, and system in totality is very, very poor. This is the 3rd time I've tried to use Affirm. I advise all not to use their service or you will be highly disappointed.

Update for standard Reput. Mgmt. response (+1 star increase):
Affirm did reply to my review using standard reputational management practices. I haven't reached out to them, but am hopeful to see what they will or have done to improve experience. I will adjust my rating upon follow-up interaction.

I don't understand why it doesn't have a link button for Drum Monkey. It would be really nice if all the Unison plugins had an auto-find feature that worked with DAWs, making mapping easier. Drum Monkey is a headache when mapping in FL Studio. Another critique of Drum Monkey is that it needs a much-needed update because the drum library names of sounds disappear when reopening the project. Also, why does it not remember the settings (e.g., on, auto, or off) for playback within the plugin?

It’s Thanksgiving and ya’ll didn’t make the broadcast free in the app?!! Upon considering a subscription purchase, this definitely has helped my decision. Great job of being American! 😒

I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing that I lowered both my deductible and monthly fee by nearly switching to the competition that kept reiterating CarShield’d complaints with BBB and making claims extremely difficult.

I hope my budgeting doesn’t shoot me in the foot…
