Gel Mat from Gelpro – fails at seam
A great addition to a tiled floor or a hard surface, especially the kitchen, is the Gel Mat. The GelMat is about 1/2″ thick and contains a spongy material that cushions the feet when working in the kitchen.
The warranty provided by Gelpro is for 365 days.
Not very sturdy tho. After about 365 days, it starts to come apart at the seams. Still works, but looks awful and now represents a greater tripping hazard.
Failed seam at the edge of the Gelpro Gel MAt
Motorola RAZR celphone charger
The charger for the Motorola RAZR seems to be a bit weak. After 3 months it looks like this …..
Short circuit in Motorla charger
Note the open wires at the plug end of the charger. These short together preventing charging (and possible discharge of the battery). I won’t be able to buy a new charger (Motorola doesn’t make these any more). Beware.
big mistake leasing with canon business solutions
biggest business mistake i ever made was leasing a canon copier/fax thru canon business solutions. good equipment but preditory lease policies and the return equipment policy at the end of the lease was borderline criminal. i expected a fair and realistice deal but got screwed. my advise to all. buy the equipment. do not lease from CANON BUSINESS SOLUTIONS under any condition.
KolkataCakeShop.com did not deliver my Cake and refused to return the money
On 30-12-2009, I ordered on Internet at KolkataCakeShop.com website, to deliver a Flury’s Black Forest Cake to be delivered to my niece living in Shyambazar Kolkata. Including the special delivery the charges were $35.00. They processed my charge card for $35.00, and confirmed to deliver by 31-12-2009 before 2:00PM Kolkata time.
After further inquiry and trying to track the delivery process, found that they were having all the excuses and telling me that they will not be able to deliver the Cake as promised. Finally on person named ‘Manit’ emailed me canceling the order and refused to pay back my money immediately.
I have a email trail of ordering and other communications I had with KolkataCakeShop, which I can prove my point. Also the phone which are been listed in the website and in their email is unreachable and/or never active.
They are a bunch of cheats doing business and cheating public.

Buying Jewelry On Line
I have just experienced a situation where back in May I decided to buy my wife an anniversay present from Alle’ Fine Jewelry in St. Petersburg, Florida.
I had purchased items from them before and was very satisfied and all the transactions went without a hitch.
I cannot say the same for the purchase recently made.
It started when it was advertised that sales are sent out within 2 business days. I placed the order on April 24, 2009 to insure I would have it in time for our anniversary on May 4th. When May 2nd came along and I had not yet received the ring I had purchased I called the company and was told that the manufacturer of the ring was in a scaled back posture due to the economy and was only operating 4 days a week. At this point I discovered that Alle’ is a broker and does not actually manufacture jewelry. So now I was a victim of the economy, strike one. Also I missed giving the ring to my wife on our anniversary, stike two. Finally after 3 more days the ring showed up. Unlike past purchases, when we got the ring it was somewaht different in how it was in person. The photo seemed to represent it in a larger scale. My wife wasn’t thrilled with it at this point. this compounded by the late delivery presented me with the option of returning it for the ” No Questions 30 day Money Back Guarantee”; and here’s where the fun starts., and strike three I might add.
We packed the ring back in its original box, sent it back at our cost with appropriate insurance for its value as instructed and waited. After 1 week my wife called Alle’ to inquire to whether they had received it. They said they had and it would take two billing cycles on my Visa Card to see the credit. They made no mention to why and unfortunately my wife did not ask and assumed that this was normal as we have never had to do this before.
Time goes by and now it’s the end of July and still no refund showing on my account. I sent them no less than 4 e mails, with no response. I then contacted them by phone and was told that the credit would show up the first week in August, that comes and goes and still no credit. I place another phone call and am told this. PAY ATTENTION AS THIS IS THE KICKER. As this wasn’t explained at the time of the purchase nor was I advised that this was their policy. And if it was documented anywhere I wasn’t told this.
The representative told me that when jewelry is purchased and returned, as they are only the broker, they receieve it and process it for return to the manuafacturer, this takes time. Then the manuafacturer receives it and processes the item, which includes a through inspection to verify that the item is exactly as it was sent and no changes have been made such as 18ckt gold is switched with 14 ckt gold. the good quality diamonds are switched with inferior diamonds and so on. This also takes a lot of time.
Once all is determined to be valid the manufacturer then sends Alle’ an ok. They then credit Alle’ and Alle’ then credits me.
Well as it was established that I did not do any of the deceptive things as described and now that I have been cleared of any fradulant activities I am supposed to be credited., told to me by another representative of Alle’
I contacted Visa and was told by them that after Alle’ approves the credit it takes anywhere between 7 and 10 business days for the transaction to hit my account.
I expect that by Monday August 24th this will occur. If not I have a dispute filed with Visa about this entire matter. I am hoping that I will not need to exercise going further with this as it has been a real eye opener this far.
As I said, let this be a warning when buying jewelry. If you are not satisfied and have to return the item, be prepared for a long wait for your money. Unfortunately between the economy and the criminal population that has caused this type of scrutiny this is thw way it goes.
I can only state facts as they have applied to my situation and dealing with Alle’ Fine Jewelry. Just make sure you know all the conditions before you buy.
Florida froze our account!
Avant-Gardens Florist in Miami
Brides Beware – A Bait & Switch happened on my wedding flower order along with poor quality flowers and an unprofessional delivery man.
I was very excited when I went into the office of Avant Gardens in Miami (off Bird Rd). I was told that they were the Nieman Marcus of florist and although my budget was not huge I wanted quality not quantity.
My sister and I looked through all of their beautiful flower books. Picking my bridal bouquet took a bit longer because I chose not to go traditional with my dress so I really wanted my bouquet to stand out. I saw a picture of a beautiful arrangement with a mix of flowers that were highlighted with an Eggplant Calla Lily. It was gorgeous. That was the one I wanted and I didn’t care how much it cost. If there were no other flowers in the room – it didn’t matter. I waited until I was 43 to get married – damn it I wanted my bridal bouquet to AWESOME. I felt I had chosen the perfect bouquet.
My sister had seen a picture of a wedding cake that was decorated with a mixture of flowers that was so beautiful. Again, not traditional but very elegant. Flowers were picked for my wedding cake and told there would be a $105 decorating charge as it would take some time – on the day of the wedding- to decorate the cake according to the picture. Done & Done. It was what I wanted and considered it worth the money. Even if I had to go to a lower budget on the food or other arrangements. I really had my heart set on the flowers to be beautiful.
The day before my wedding I was contacted by the owner – Rick – who asked if it would be ok to deliver the flowers a little earlier than discussed. I explained that I would not be at the location of the wedding until much later so he needed to contact my sister before the delivery to make sure she is there to recieve the flowers since she was with me when I placed the order and knew what needed to happen with the cake.
I had kept the details of the wedding cake secret from my future husband because I wanted to surprise him. The day of my wedding I called at 12:30 (wedding was at 5) to see how everything was going and was told that the flowers were delivered and the cake wasn’t decorated. My future husband told me that the delivery guy said he had extra flowers and thought they would look pretty on the windows and left. I was furious and contacted Rick. He informed me that his driver didn’t speak English very well and didn’t understand what he was supposed to do but he would have the delivery man return. He returned, with an attitude and shoved flowers into the wedding cake creating big holes. I later found out that he was attempting to have a security guard sign for the flowers so he could just dump and go.
When I saw my Bridal bouquet and the Bridesmaid flowers I just started crying. My bouquet wasn’t anything like I ordered. What I got was about 14 Eggplant calla lilies wrapped in masking tape. No other flowers. It was boring and ugly. The Bridesmaid flowers were freezer burnt and limp. They too were wrapped in masking tape. I paid $165 for my bouquet and an additional $85 for the two other bouquets and didn’t get at all what I expected in color or quality.
The Men’s flowers were all a Single flower with a stick pin.
In the end I paid over $1,000 to Avant-Gardens in Miami. I could have gone with a less expensive florist, as they are a dime a dozen but I choose Avant Gardens for their promise of style and elegance. Maybe because my order was only $1,000 they chose not to treat me as a valued customer. Rick’s attitude with me has been arrogant and non-apologetic. I would not reccomend this company and I have reported them to the Better Business Bureau as well.
You should considering staying far, far away from Lowe’s!!

THE LAW FIRM OF DENNIS P. BLOCK AND ASSOCIATES unlawful evictions
I was wrongfuly evicted by Dennis Block and my landlord. Dennis Block will file an eviction with no grounds. If this happens to you will have to file a written response to the court with a fee of $200 and you may want to hire an attorney. I borrowed the funds to do this since Dennis Block advised my landlord to evict me the day after I paid rent. My lawyer advised me to move out before the five days even with nowhere to go since this can effect credit ratings for minuium of fifteen years or even life. I’m now sueing my landlord and will also go after Dennis Block legally. I also found this site http://stopdennisblock.com/ to post complaints about Dennis Block that will file them with the Los Angeles County Bar Association, California Bar Association and the California State Attorney Generals office. Dennis Block must be stopped.
