This is turning into a public service announcement. I have no idea what these people are thinking, but now it's getting creepy. After I updated my earlier review (please see below if you're interested) I got a phone message from Nick asking me to call them so they could talk to me ... about what? You've already caused a problem and I stated why what you did was problematic. That should have been the end of it. Nope. There have been multiple calls (without leaving a message) after leaving the second message and now someone has showed up at my house to talk? Way beyond appropriate.
Ladies ... if you live alone or will be home alone DO NOT HIRE these people! There are multiple boundary issues in my experience with them and now I'm worried I'll need to call the police out to get them to leave me alone, all because they're not happy that I chose to post calling them out for poor communication.
Here is my original (and updated) review:
Scheduled me for an appointment, then cancelled on me 10 minutes before the window started. Really not helpful as I could maybe have found someone else in the intervening 2 1/2 hours.
Updating this after receiving a voice message from Nick who wants me to remove my review because it doesn't have anything to do with their work performance. Sorry, not going to do that. I've decided to update because the message that was left is indicative of very poor customer service/relations.
First, according to Nick it's not their fault they had to cancel because they are very busy on Sundays. I don't have an issue with the cancellation but with how it was handled. And if you're so busy Sundays, then why not have your representative/phone service/AI Bot tell me that? The business chose to allow the appointment to be booked with no warning up front that it might be cancelled. 5 of the other 6 businesses I called flat out told me they had no openings. Your rep/service/bot could have done the same.
Next, according to Nick it's not their fault they didn't cancel sooner because I didn't give a cell phone number so they couldn't text me. Seriously? Not everyone is glued to their cell phone and some of us live in areas where they don't work that well.
Regardless of how this company performs once they get somewhere, communication is a big part of customer service. And poor communication is very relevant ... you need to be able to trust a company and it's people if they come into your home.
I was displeased with being treated poorly regarding the last minute cancellation, but calling almost a week later to tell me why I should take down my review is a whole new level of irritation. Very glad they've shown their true colors so I don't make the mistake of possibly giving them a chance in the future.
Updating to add a comment in reply to Stephan:
Stephan, your words would carry more weight if they represented actual facts. Perhaps you just didn't bother to read what I wrote? I never said the cancellation was made during the appointment window and your time frame is flat wrong ... a call at 9:51am for a 10:00am appointment is about 10 minutes prior (as I stated on August 1) not 25 minutes before.
Also, your statement about wanting to understand my concerns falls flat as I had already stated my reasons in the first update to the review on 8/1 ... but it appears that you never bothered to read it. You could have easily responded here instead of having someone make additional calls on 8/3 and 8/4 or showing up at my house on 8/7.
Persistent? No, most people would say pushy at the least and highly inappropriate for the circumstances. And while you're welcome to run your business anyway you see fit, you need to understand that you were wrong multiple times in this episode, including attempting to subvert the platform by demanding that I remove the review in the first place. Saying you respect someone does not mean you do, and your actions have shown that you absolutely do not ... if you did, you'd have actually read my 8/1 update and responded here instead of continuing to harass me by phone or in person. read more
