After submitting a detailed, well-documented complaint about Amazon's widespread practice of indefinitely withholding seller funds (affecting thousands of small businesses), I was deeply disappointed by BBB's handling of the matter. For those unfamiliar, BBB is basically Yelp for people who still have AOL email addresses - except when you leave a negative review, they actually remove it instead of just hiding it behind seventeen popups asking you to download their app. My complaint addressed a systemic business practice - not an individual account dispute. I provided comprehensive information about how Amazon's policies harm small businesses across the country through their fund withholding practices. When Amazon responded by demanding my specific seller account email (clearly attempting to narrow this to an individual case), I wrote a detailed explanation to BBB about why this wasn't appropriate. I offered alternative verification including documentation of the widespread nature of the issue and redacted examples. BBB's response? They simply closed my complaint, claiming I "failed to provide necessary clarification" - despite my thorough explanation. This experience reveals that BBB appears more interested in maintaining relationships with large corporations than advocating for small businesses. They operate like a protection racket with accreditation fees instead of actually holding businesses accountable. If you're considering using BBB for a complaint against a large corporation, save yourself the time and just post on social media instead. At least there, your complaint won't disappear faster than the "A+" ratings of companies that pay their annual BBB membership fees. read more

After 18 days of waiting, they helped locate my complaint and get me a complaint number. Really appreciate the help.

Filed a complaint against business and rejected the offer from business on two occasions. The BBB did not publicly display complaint and gave the company an "A" rating after this first complaint. Prior to this the business was not on their records. This policy does not allow the public to make an informed decision on their own. An "A" rating could potentially infer a positive outcome for the person making the complaint. Update: Several hours after contacting them; my complaint is now on display. read more

It repaired the transmission in my vehicle. It has/had a $100 off coupon which I tendered. The invoice doesn't reflect that coupon anywhere. Also, it allegedly adds 3% to any bill that is paid by credit/debit card. However, it added 3.99% to my bill. At the owner's (Dave) request, I have sent copies of the paperwork to his cell phone. He has not returned my calls nor addressed these issues since 8/15/25. read more

I purchased a Lectric bike from this company in early July 2025 and they will not respond to a problem that renders the bike unusable. I have sent over 5 emails about the problem since 7/26/2025, but they won't respond to my problem. This isn't the first time that I have had a problem with the bike, but it's the first time that they won't respond with a solution. Other than email, there isn't a way to reach them since they won't answer their customer support phone. read more

i thought the Better Business Bureau was supposed to help consumers against Companies that rip you off. Shasta pool co. redid my pool and it turned out looking like garbage, they would not redo it or refund our 11K. after many emails complaining to the BBB about this and not even coming to look at my pool, they dropped my complaint and believed what shasta told them over what i told the BBB. they took shastas word over mine with no proof from shasta. This is how the BBB works??? i told the BBB about a disclaimer about the quartz product that shasta sent me "AFTER" the pool was completed. and the BBB still took their side, way to go BBB you screwed me over just as bad as shasta... read more

the BBB is a complete scam. They will close all complaints in lightening speed and never come to any conclusion. The businesses are allowed to blatantly lie in their responses. The BBB really should be shut down. I have used hem with a few issues over the last 20 years and get the same response: nothing, no effort and a computer system that will not allow yo to upload documents even when they are well within the limits. A completely useless service for consumers and it looks like companies agree as many businesses are not rated. read more

Wonderful Company! Have had several meetings at the Phoenix location. Everyone that works there is so helpful

They helped my business survive a mean spirited shakedown artist. The staff and service were and is awesome. The BBB takes enough hits on their reviews and deserve a good review. I am also glad to have the BBB logo on my website and their standards on my side and behind my business read more

I don't have yelp but I'm posting this on a relatives account to inform customers. Search on YouTube the ABC investigation into the BBB and that summarizes what they are about. This organization receives money from the same company customers file complaints against. If you really want to know the trustworthiness of a company then read the customers reviews and complaints on the same companies the BBB has listed with A rating. Things have gotten worse since the investigation from ABC a decade ago. Now, the BBB doesn't even bother to get a response from companies or even respond to customers contacts. In short, the BBB doesn't even have an interest in keeping appearances which is what they literally get paid to do by all of these companies. Raul Mendez read more

Seems to be a complete fraud. I filed a complaint against Superstar Carwash for damage to my vehicle. The car wash said and "we will look into it" and they closed the case. They did nothing to help me. I even reach out and said that it was not resolved and they did nothing to help me. read more

In my opinion as a consumer advocate the Better Business Bureau and I use their name loosely is the biggest contradiction of a so called complaint bureau maybe in history. First, how can a so called "impartial agency" as they say charge businesses a fee to post their logo and claim they are impartial and give a fair shake to consumers who have complaints against their paying customers? Who butters their bread? Total hypocrisy. Second, in a recent complaint I had with a BBB paying merchant the BBB said they only allow customers to respond twice and then they close the complaint. Seriously? You get to respond twice and then no matter what they close it? Who do you think that favors the paying business or the consumer? Third, the BBB offers what they call arbitration for some cases which they have a panel of so called impartial people deciding whether or not your complaint has merit. Well, in my recent case with an auto repair shop who trashed my vehicle and left out to dry the BBB was going to have a panel of auto repair shop owners review my case against the paying BBB business owner and decide what the outcome should be. Talk about a blatant conflict of interest. Imagine have a jury of auto repair shop owners which so happens to be the most crooked consumer areas known deciding if you got a fair shake. Total scam in my opinion. How about having everyday consumers on your panel who are non business owners let them decide what is fair. Bottom line if you think if you are going to get fair treatment from the BBB as a consumer who has a complaint against a BBB paying merchant your chances are slim. Don't waste your time. read more

I have now had two experiences with the BBB. Both tell me 1) Business pay to play (to get good ratings, which improve to 5/5 when a bad business becomes a member), and 2) They want to give the business every opportunity to explain away their perfidy, while not quite being able to understand a clearly explained customer complaint, let alone do anything about it. Many people have made the same allegations, almost every review is like this one. The BBB has never challenged anyone in court about them to the best of my knowledge. If it weren't for the media publicizing them as consumer advocates, and taking advantage of free labor by BBB volunteers assisting them to find marketable stories, I don't think anyone would trust them. read more

Michael was very helpful despite my previous experiences with the bbb, he redeemed my faith in this business. Thank you!!

i tried submit a compliant to Cracker Barrell that a $50.00 gift card wouldn't work at Cracker Barrel Restaurant. Spent an Hour trying to communicate with cracker Barrell , finally got a person on the phone , got put on hold , for long time , Then got a dial tone. THEN i submitted a complaint to Better Business Bureau . BBB accepted my Valid complaint. THEN Few Days later received E-Mail from BBB Dismissing the Claim , I still have the no good card. There was never any contact from Cracker Barrell at All. SO CRACKER BARRELL & BBB ARE IN THE SAME BARREL . We still patronize C B. It' a Gift Card Issue. read more

I had a conflict with Brewer's Air Conditioning and tried to resolve personally. When they ignored my issue, I turned to the BBB for help. I worked with Robert Moreno and checked in about every 10 days with very little feedback. After 30 days I escalated my issue to the director of conciliation Michelle Marin and got the following reponse: Hi Larry, Thank you for reaching out to BBB. I apologize that your complaint is taking longer than expected. The business has communicated that there may be further delays due to matters outside of their control. If you wish to pursue your complaint with other avenues, you're more than welcome to do so. Please know that as soon as we receive another update from the business, you will be notified. Again, I apologize for the frustration behind the delay. Matters outside their control? After 30 days of putting this off they can simply state that and get off the hook? I looked at Brewer's AC facebook page and saw that just 6 days ago they posted a picture for International Beer Day, but during that time didn't have time to respond to a legitimate customer complaint. I agree with most reviewers that the BBB has lost their values when it comes to maintaining a "community of trustworthy businesses". It's starting to get a few people rattled: https://www.courthousenews.com/bbb-is-a-racket-socal-law-firmsays-in-200-million-demand/#:~:text=LOS%20ANGELES%20(CN)%20%E2%80%93%20The,in%20a%20%24200%20million%20complaint. read more

I am not surprised at the low rating of our local BBB, it deserves zero stars. Their service is appaling, but I assume that it comes down from the top, if the manager does not care about customer service, then the staff below her will not either. I am a small business owner and unfortunately we missed an email from a customer who bought one of my company's products on a subsidiary company's eBay store (not directly thru my company, Body Aware Inc). He simply wanted to exchange an item. As we missed the email, he wrote an off the cuff 1 star review on BBB which they published. He subsequently contacted us again and we were able to make him a happy customer with our usual good service, apologizing for missing his original email, and refunded him in full, letting him keep the original product. He wrote us an email on eBay so I sent a screen shot of the full eBay page to BBB in which he said: "I have retracted my negative statement on eBay, I have sent an email to the BBB asking for my review to be removed. Nothing happened, I got no response." This is typical of what I have found, this has been ongoing since January, and 4 months later, after multiple requests and the evidence that the customer wants the review removed, the AZ BBB will not remove it and seem to have made negligible or no effort to resolve this case. I have asked for my membership to be cancelled several times and the $500 + fee to be "accredited", refunded, but again no action on their part. In my view the BBB is an anachronism and I really don't know why it still exists, I certainly never use it any more, there are much better social media ways to find out about companies. read more

this organization is worthless. Filed a complaint related to some incorrect and inappropriate billing from a business in Tempe. I got an auto generated email saying that they received my complaint at the BBB. But never got anything after that. There was absolutely no communication and no resolution and no help. And when I called to follow up nobody answered the phone. So if you're a consumer and you need some help because you're in a dispute with an unethical business, don't bother calling the BBB. I don't even know why this organization exists. They don't have any authority to do anything anyway, and they weren't even professional enough to follow through or communicate in the most basic manner. read more

I recently listed my home with "72 Sold.com" Hague Partners. They advertise "Thousands More than the Listed Price". I did not get a nickel more than the listed price.

If I did not have this happen to me I would not believe it. I had been a customer of Century link for 7 years. TO SAY THIS HAS BEEN THE WORSE EXPERIENCE OF MY ENTIRE LIFE OF DOING BUSINESS WITH ANY COMPANY is putting it mildly. I did everything right when I decided to leave CL and go to COX as CL was going to raise my monthly bill from $89 to $129. On Nov 29th I encountered a rude CS REPS but aside from that I honored my commitment for the time duration of one year and told CL I was not going to continue with them and to shut down all my services as of DEC 7 2017. I also called Cox Nov 29th and told them to start my service. On Dec 7 I considered my bill with CL DONE. I got a final bill and paid it in full. Cox started my service both phone and net connection on Dec 8. A few day later I received a bill from CL for $115 which I flatly refused to pay. I contacted BBB in Phoenix told them about the bill and was under the impression that they were going to look into the dispute. After at least a dozen letters to CL disputing the bill and telling them that I have contacted BBB in Phoenix, CL would not close out my account with a zero balance. I contacted BBB in Phoenix and was told that PX BBB sent the problem to Denver BBB and they would look into it. I asked why would you do that. I was given this bogus story about CL headquarters being in Denver and thus the BBB there was to handle the complaint. I waited and after communication with BBB in DENVER I was brushed off. I was then told (this has to take the cake of all BS stories I have ever heard), "WE HAVE TWO WOMAN OUT ON MATERNITY LEAVE AND THUS HAD TO TRANSFER YOU COMPLAINT (Denver) TO CHICAGO. I was then notified that the Chicago office looked into the problem and did not have the authority to make CL do anything and that they were closing the case. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO Better Business Bureau AGENCIES? IS ANYONE WORKING OR ARE THEY JUST GETTING PAID A SALARY AND BLOWING OFF COMPLAINTS? SO basically if CL decides to screw you out of $$$$ because you decide to switch to a better less expensive provider, they have no worries as the incompetence in BBB office is not out to rectify complaints and give satisfaction to customers. Why even bother having a BBB? read more

Would gladly give negative stars! The BBB after months has finally responded and have closed the complaint and sided with the business. Thankfully the ROC was the most help and made sure the contractor repaired the damages to our home. They saw the damages and neglect first hand, they listened to both parties and came to their conclusion. Guess the BBB is not for the consumer, but rather the business that is willing to pay for a high rating. read more

This outfit is a joke. Google some of the reviews about how BBB rates companies differently based on whether or not they are dues paying members. I contacted Phoenix BBB in early December 2018 about an air conditioning contractor that defrauded me on a service call. I input the review on the BBB website and never heard anything from the dishonest contractor or the BBB...no letters, no phone calls, no texts, no emails...nothing. On Jan 20, 2019 I looked at the BBB website to see how BBB had handled my complaint against the contractor only to see they have an A+ rating with BBB and are also a member of BBB. My complaint/review of the contractor only showed the date of the complaint, that the complaint involved "service" and that it was "resolved". No other information was shown. As of today, Feb 1, 2019 even that lame listing was removed from their web site. "Resolved" apparently means to the BBB...don't bother us with your consumer problems, we're too busy protecting our paying members. Thanks for nothing. read more

I'm not surprised to see such a low rating for The BBB. Let me just add to that for a moment. If I could give zero stars, I would. The BBB has proven to be a lazy corporation that has no desire to resolve anyone's issues. I've read many reviews from people with the same feelings. I filed a complaint against Banner Thunderbird Hospital about a bill dispute that they didn't want to fix for me almost a month ago. The BBB got a response from them saying "We'll look into it." and then they dropped my case without a further word. I emailed more than 5 times over the last couple of weeks and never got a response from the BBB. I finally talked to someone in the chat section of BBB's site who told me my case had been closed and labeled "unresolved". There was no explanation given for WHY. Every single one of these 1 star reviews are SPOT ON. What a waste of time. Worthless. Rude. Incompetent. I could scream! read more

I made a trip to Phoenix, AZ flying in (no car) to visit with my daughter who lives there on November 5-8, 2020 and stayed at Comfort Suites Phoenix North. It was a horrible experience. First $160.00 per night, no breakfast or any type of drinks or snacks *note* there are no nearby places to eat or buy food. Then was told there was NO maid service, had to go to front desk to get clean sheets and towels, make our own beds. Second, they charged a $100.00 room surcharge for damages. Third, the room was nasty dirty and smelled. Bathroom door had been punched, not surprised, since the tub dripped all night long and the the sink faucet leaked all over counter when turned on. Showed the website for the hotel to the attendant at the front desk, that stated the room was listed for $78.00 per night plus tax... was told the price jack up was because NASCAR was in town. When I made reservations in August none of this this was relayed back to me. I will never recommend this hotel to anyone not even to someone I dislike. I called corporate and got the runaround blow smoke up the butt. Will the Better Business Bureau of Phoenix Az make a difference? Who knows. Always check reviews on a hotel in the future regardless of the name and don't be a victim of fraudulent advertisement. read more
