Here is the story again\nI ordered laminate flooring at home depot including installation.I had wall to wall carpet and so i had to pull it out and move all my furniture,unplug my tv,pc and all the night before as they were coming in the next morning.But when they came in that morning and unwrapped the materials the we had special ordered thru HOMEDEPOT a week before they discovered that it did not include any moulding.And so for that the guys said we have to wait another whole week as it has to be special ordered.In the meanwhile we'll be without any carpet on the cold concrete floor, without furniture and any tv/pc/entertainment.My question is How to exactly deal with this the proper way because i don't to want to speak with some store manager and have to wait for a resolution.Should i contact thier corporate office and if i do which would be better a verbal or Written?Any specfics i should mention/any special wordings i should use?PLEASE HELP ME!I am so pissed with them!Thanks alot!

They inconvenienced you.Find out DISTRICT managers name and call him,record conversation,let him know whats going on and how you can be compensated for the inconvenience.If you still get no satisfaction take them to civil court.OR cancel everything-did you give them any money yet?What a bunch of losers.Sue them for any money already paid if they won't give it to you.

I am the domestic staff. I say DON"T make the bed. It is going to be ripped apart anyway. It makes it way easier if you leave it alone. We have to put fresh bedding on there no matter how clean you are. And by all means take the little bottles of shampoo, lotion, and soaps. They are there for your convenience. If they are opened we throw them away. The only thing that chokes me is when you use the face clothes to shine your shoes, leave "used socks" in the bed, or half drinks in the trash.

Is this a union / management situation?  If so, go to your shop steward.  If not and it is harassment, then there should be a harassment procedure posted somewhere or available at HR.  You are aware that this thing could backfire and get you sacked which will then give you recourse to the State or Provincial authorities.  You might be able to go to them now if you are convinced you can't get a resolution in-house.

Bring up a lawsuit against them with well documented hours of work and some from of job description and any pay stubs.  I hate that I am telling you this, but I do not like it when people abuse their weaknesses. Once a lawsuit is brought up they normally get a temp work VISA to stay in the country until is is settled, but by then most are able to find a better job and able to get extensions.  Had one subcontracts employee sue an apartment and got a work visa out of it. It is some times a risk, but you your friends case it just might work.  contact a good lawyer and you just might pull if off.

Good Lord? What did you say and to whom? Either way, this company is alienating people.  Big 0 for customer service!\n\nEh, the BBB never does anything.  They always give the last word to and side with the company.  They have no power anyway.  All they do is keep a record of complaints and then give their opinion on who is right.

THEY ALWAYS PULL THAT! Go to the main office and tell them you want it now......be sure and threaten them with further business. Example: I will switch to UPS if this happens again!

so far it sounds more like miscommunication issues and not discrimination.\n\nthe best thing to do is have a meeting with the builder to identify what you can do to make things right.  it's that simple, show initiative and do not be defensive if your craftsmanship is criticized. \n\nthere will be other projects that this builder may consider you for, if you show that you are responsible and are trust worthy.  looking for a law suit is costly and getting others in the middle of it is a sure way to get a bad reputation in the industry you are in.

To start with do you know if they are incorporated? You could contact the Secretary of State if they are incorporated. They would have the names and mailing address of the owners. If they are a small business they would of had to of gotten a Business License from the City/County where the Business is located. In that situation the City/County would have all the owners names and mailing addresses.\nDid they give her a receipt for the deposit, if they did was there anything on the receipt about it being a Non-refundable Deposit?\nSometimes in the retail business when you have to order something special, the deposit could be non-refundable.\nIf she didn't get a receipt, in my opinion that is bad business. I do hope she gave them a check in the event she needs proof.\nIf she was given a receipt and there is nothing about the deposit  being non-refundable, I would call the Better Business as well as contacting the owners.

Are they legitmate charges to your clients? Were the clients billed?\n\nRemember there is lag time , look at your statements\nwhen you make a purchase, sometimes it doesnt show that it was processed until the next day, for several ones.\n\nOne of them is that the merchant forgot to batch out.\n\nDo you even know your only company policy?\n\nWhat didyou say to him or her when she submitted the receipts to your accountant?\n\nOr are you an employee looking for a way to get her fired or in trouble?\n\nWhy doesn't your company audit these transactions?\n\nWhy did your company accept the charges?

You're right, unless it's in writing there's not much more you can do.  And if there is something else, it'll probably end up costing you more tyring to do something about it, than what you've already paid!  Needless to say, it wont be worth it!   So you can either continue feeling bad and mad about it or move forward and learn from it!    And remembering next time.... "the only way you can get screwed, is if you let them"    I would just put my focus and energy on the future.  Are they worth getting you down?    \n\nBy the way, did you guy give a rent deposit when you first moved in? Well, If you did, it might be worth trying to get it back.  By making sure the apartment is spotless and painted!  The cleaner the unit, the less the take out for the clean up!

Jasmine - to improve this website you have to ask yourself a lot of questions. Who are they trying to appeal to? What do they want the viewer to do? Who is the competition? What position in the marketplace do they want to own?\nFrom a quick look at the site, I don't think it was meant for me - the average Joe. It seems to be focused on business to business. It's basically an online catalog. What's good about this? Any plumber or repair guy can go online and order the part they need. What's bad? The company comes off as a parts distributor with no true personality. A part is a part.\nFrom PD customer's perspective, why should they go to PD instead of Lowe's or some other parts company? Without a brand, PD is competing on price. That ain't good.\nI don't see anything on the site about the company except "In business for decades." What's the company's story? Why was there a need to open this business and why has it been successful? Do they make the best epoxy resin parts? Can they handle orders no one else can? What tolerances do they manufacture to? Who have they done business with? Do they supply parts to Her Majesty the Queen? Why PD?\nProfessionally, I think "Plastic Depot" is as generic as you can get in a company name. At least "South Bay Plastics" might have made me feel good about ordering from you guys if I was from the south bay area. A name is a big part of the brand. The Plastic Depot name and logo is about as engaging as a beige wall.\nWhat's ironic is your web address is plastic depotS .com and your name is plastic depot (with no "s"). I know the problems with getting the address of a common name but it seems silly to invest money into a new name that won't come up on the web when I type it out.\nCompare PD with Starbucks. Or even, check out http://www.snapon.com/ - their website has personality and they know the power of a brand. Even Home Depot knows how to make you feel good about ordering online from them. \nEven online, you want to differentiate yourself. You want to stand out. You want any viewer to come away with your main message - what makes DP the best company to do business with? Okay, they do plastics. And???\nPlastic Depot web site is organized the way PD does business. It might make sense to the company, but not to the consumer. How would somebody really use this? If I need a pump for my boat - wouldn't I want to look under the "marine" section to see what parts are available? Why must I sort through all you different kinds of pumps to find what I need?\nThere's an expression in advertising - sell the sizzle, not the steak. This web site is only selling steak. Look at http://www.napaautoparts.com/ - they too are selling parts. Yet they make the web site more attractive and easier to navigate.\nIt'd be helpful to find info on what plastics are best with which projects. What are the benefits of the acrylic fabrication? \nI don't easily get from the web site that I can order custom plastic parts. Should I? Just because PD may be a b2b company, doesn't mean it should be boring.\n\nWhat does it need? IMHO, it needs a makeover. It needs a page or pages that tells me the PD story. It needs to reassure me that the parts I order will be right the first time (if the parts are wrong or cracked, PD will delay my schedule and cost me money). It needs to organize the information into chunks that make sense. Someone looking for a football case does not care that PD makes ventilation ducts. The site needs to answer the FAQ under the tech advice. (If PD is the expert, here's their chance to shine and show off.) It needs buttons that work - I can't get back to "home" when I'm on a different page.\nIn essence, I'd recommend PD hire an ad agency or design firm and talk to pros about how they can build a site that goes beyond just cataloging the PD inventory. People do business wit

I find the entire Ikea experience dreadful.  I once spent 2 hours in there trying to get a wardrobe and there was nobody to help for a long time.  Eventually, we got half of what we needed and were told that the rest was in stock and we would have to pick it up ourselves.  When we got to the warehouse, there was nothing in stock at all and the queues for the till were ridiculous.  We abandoned everything, left and have not been back since.  That was two years ago.

What covenant does he want you to perform?  Does he just want you to "not run a construction biz" from your place?  If so, you are already not running a construction biz, so it sounds like you have performed the covenant within 3 days.  (Actually, within zero days.)  I wonder if your LL is trying to appease the condo assoc by trying to look like he's taking aggressive steps to insure the rules are complied with?  Anyway, as long as you are not violating the covenant, and don't look like you are violating it either, it seems like you have complied with the notice.  You could ask your LL for clarification if the notice isn't clear, but otherwise, I don't get it.  You could write you LL a friendly letter (keep a copy) pointing out that you haven't violated the covenant; that he inspected and saw that you weren't; and that he can come back and see that you still aren't.

Isn't insurance up to the purchaser? If they did not want the item to be insured, it is not your problem.\n\nI don't think it's been enough time...give it another week or so until you call.\n\nIf it is not insured there isn't much you can do. :/

Hire someone else this week, even if you have to go out of the office to conduct interviews, background checks, etc.\nWhen this guy come in on Monday to work, have a 5 minutes meeting with him explaining the situation in a calm but very compelling way. Don't leave out the potential sexual harassment lawsuit part, and give him 2 hours to pack up his stuff and move out.  You will have already made sure you have cleaned everything out of his office that you don't want him to steal.\nIf you feel unsure about this strategy, get a hidden video camera installed in his office ant the the "goods" on him.\nIt is not necessary to explain the details to your employees, except perhaps your upper level management.

You have no right to free p+p with a return product as far as I can see. I had a problem with an online order couple of years ago, where I ordered a present for someone and every time it arrived the casing was broken. No good for a present, I telephoned them and they sent someone to collect it and sent me another with no extra costs as not my fault. I had to do this 3 times before I got one that wasnt broken.\nIn the end they told me not to send the last one back, to keep it for myself at no extra cost aswell as the one that was undamaged.\n\nMost companies will do things as a customer relations goodwill gesture when an error on their part has occurred.\n\nSee this website, you can call them for specific advice.

Call the General Manager of the store. Explain the problem and solution you would like. \n\nIf no help call the corporate office.\n\nIf still no help call the Attorney General and The Better Business Bureau. And write a letter (send it certified mail) to the Corp. Office and General Manager telling them the issue you were having, the resolution you feel is necessary and how they failed to help you and that you filed a complaint with the Attorney general and BBB.
