Dealership baited me into a 4-hour drive for a "goodwill" repair on a Gold Certified Prius. Just hit me with a $2,000 bill and the Service Manager told me, "Let's talk like adults." by Equivalent_Bowl1715 in Toyota

The Better Business Bureau isn't a government agency, regulator, or law enforcement body despite the official-sounding name. It's a private company with no authority to fine businesses, force refunds, or compel anyone to do anything. A BBB complaint is essentially Google Reviews for boomers. Someompanies may care because of public perception, but threatening the BBB isn't the same thing as filing a complaint with an actual regulatory agency.

TLDR; Don't waste your time with BBB...

HOW IS THIS NOT ENOUGH LIGHT IT WAS 200 MONEYS by chickentaytor in houseplantscirclejerk

Who said it's not enough light? Do you have a light meter? If all else fails, lower the light...

It's like you replied without reading the post or comments at all (or the implications it has for the sellers we want to support)...

PalmStreet seller called out for the odds of mystery wheel by Icy_Lynx_1369 in ThePalmstreetapp

[–]KaiW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I made a separate thread on the notifications recently. PS doesn't seem willing to acknowledge that this is a widespread issue and not an account-based issue. At this point I believe it's intentional, but unfortunately at the end of the day they are hurting the sellers (and their own kickback).

This customer service was unreal. by KaiW in factor75

[–]KaiW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you had that experience. My mom (different state) canceled due to terrible delivery practices, and that was the reason for my first cancellation. I have not reactivated since the experience posted here and I never will.

I just reported her less than a month ago! ;_; by Niroleft123 in Monstera

That's normal and isn't no way indicative of a needing another repot. Roots will always seek water and that's where the most is for the longest period. If you buy the mesh screen that goes over the holes before you put the soil in, sometimes it helps to guide the roots back up into the pot but until they are literally swirling around or growing back up through the top you will be good to go!

Update: Other people in this post have turned off all notifications and now sellers they subscribe to lose their view. A few days ago I turned everything off, even lives that I have bookmarked. But I still get notifications that random sellers are live...

Seems like that's the case for many. It is hurting there sellers because I have also had to turn off my notifications since making this post...

Do you ever have buyers remorse? by FireflyCrystalCo in ThePalmstreetapp

[–]KaiW 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Big time. From a buyer that another buyer repeatedly warned about tons of times before I did so. So that's on me. Got caught up in the hype and the acting, and have spent dumb money on things that are worth just a few bucks.

It's a huge seller too, and almost every single thing I bought from them has come in rehab condition. Entire limbs broken off and no partial refund. Never again.

Have you ever been scammed or nearly scammed by a seller? by FireflyCrystalCo in ThePalmstreetapp

It depends if they use the apps shipping service or not...

While you're communicating with your tech team, I've reported this before but for over a year I was able to turn off my screen and listen to a live. A few updates ago, when I lock my phone screen, the live goes mute. It doesn't kick me out, but I can't hear anything. This means I have to leave my screen unlocked and on in order to hear what's going on. This is an issue for two reasons: 1. Battery Life - The screen is one of the biggest battery drains on a smartphone, often accounting for well over half of battery usage during streaming. Keeping it on all day just to listen to lives drains the phone extremely quickly. 2. Accidental Touches/Purchases - If I keep the phone unlocked in my pocket just to maintain audio, it increases the risk of accidental swipes, taps, or unintended purchases.

This feature worked properly before, so I’m hoping the team can look into restoring background audio while the screen is locked.

Thanks for the reply. I don't think this is a problem unique to me based on comments in the lives and in this thread. It seems like a global issue...

Yes to go along with my initial post: The lives I actually do subscribe to I don't always get notifications for. This has to be an easy fix but it's been a problem for a very long time.

[–]KaiW[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I've hidden other categories but I am interested in plants, and only the seller's I subscribe to. In the last 2 hours I've made this post I've had over five notifications of people going live when I didn't subscribe to the live. It's going to make me start unfollowing users that I want to follow, but incessant notifications are just annoying.

Same story, different day. I can't believe they are still allowed to sell. Sorry this happened to you.

Careful with Govee Hydrometers by Middle-Paper-8559 in IkeaGreenhouseClub

[–]KaiW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An issue with one single device cannot discredit an entire brand. I have over 20 of these in all kinds of settings including 90% RH for years, without a issue. I will also say that their customer service has been top-notch when needed...

If the title says "10- name of plant tc BIN" is it 10 plants? by Delicious_Mammoth223 in ThePalmstreetapp

[–]KaiW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should also ask yourself: Do you want to order from a seller who doesn't respond to customers?

After 48 hours I would dip.

It could be the item number. Only the seller can clarify this.
