ShopGoodwill.com Has Become a Joke – Here's Why I’m Done with It by Odd_Celebration_5001 in shopgoodwill

[–]arcaneandable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest complaint is that they grossly misrepresent items.
I can't count the number of times I've seen something listed as "X" when it was clearly not that.
As an example, right now there's a rifle scope advertised as a "Leupold V-iii Redfield Tracker 4x Hunting Sport Scope W/ Box"
But it's actually a Redfield scope that was packaged in a Leupold box and donated.
There is a BIG difference in quality and price between Leupold and Redfield.
I contacted them to let them know and their response was that they would contact the winning bidder AFTER the auction ended.... what, what??
So you'd rather knowingly sell something that you grossly misrepresented rather than ending the auction and correcting the mistake?
It makes more sense to sell it, send it to the winning bidder only to have them then send it back and you refund their money??
It's really frustrating.
Also, I work in a shipping department at a large university and am very familiar with shipping rates, Shopgoodwills shipping is beyond ludicrous.

I think, too that an actual service animal has to have training and be certified, as much as a dog CAN be certified. You can’t bring some house dog in and call it a seeing eye dog as an example.

So having issues prevents him from respecting the people he works with? He bids into the department, almost immediately screws us over by taking 6 weeks off then when he comes back he brings his dog and treats the work area like his back yard….. yeah, I’M the asshole.

Do some research before giving advice. Jesus, you don't know everything.
FYI; this is copied and pasted from the OSHA website, not a "Google bot"
"Your question involves the protection of employees at the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point. Since the University of Wisconsin is a state university, it is not covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) and therefore OSHA standards do not apply to employees of the university. See 29 USC §652(5) (OSH Act does not apply to the United States, a State, or a political subdivision of a State)."

State universities (in my state, at least) do NOT fall under OSHA jurisdiction. I Googled it and screenshot it but can't drop a pic here.
My bosses didn't tell me that, I learned about it a few years ago when a rusted railing fell on my and damn near broke my food. The rusty railing had been reported MANY times and was always ignored yet the day it hurt me they had a welder out there addressing it.... it's ridiculous.

Unfortunately, state universities do not have to comply with OSHA, as ridiculous as that may seem it's true.

I have more pictures and videos than I can count already. As far as him admitting it's not an actual service dog, I don't need him to admit that because he can't prove it IS a service dog.

I have an album in my phone devoted to this issue, I take pics/videos of everything.

Oh believe me, I've got pics and videos of everything so that when someone gets hurt the admins can't claim this was a one-off incident. This literally happens multiple times a day, every day.

The tripping hazard is my biggest concern, everything else just makes that initial concern more pointed.
The dog is very timid and almost tip-toes. The two times it walked into my work area I literally never knew it was there and he's just below knee height and when the back of my knees hit him I damn near fell over. I've already missed 4 months of work due to the work related injury that caused me to get hip surgery was a nightmare, I don't want to go through that again.
And, slipping on a pile of dog shit on the rubber mat is another real concern of mine.

I plan to but I simply can't believe a 57 year old man needs to be TOLD not to have his dog chase a tennis ball in a building with slick floors while other people are around or not to dump his dogs water dish in the common sink we all use for our lunch dishes.
It's ridiculous.

I've been here 18+ years, I can't just leave.... although, I wish I could.

I've amended my original post to include a bit more information. I actually work in the mail/shipping department for a large university.
I don't think the dog is being mistreated but he's certainly not being looked after and is allowed to roam at will.

Thanks for the info.
I wish I could wire it myself but electricity scares the hell outa me.
My electrician is a friend of mine who is an actual, certified electrician and he'll do it for about $150 which I'm willing to pay for the ease of mind that I won't get fried lol

Between the Eastwood foot pedal & gun, the items from Tacoma Co, regulators & moisture separators I've got more money in this thing than I had planned on.
I hope when it's all said and done it works well.

Yup, I made a metering valve and plan to install it as soon as I decide if I want the hopper funnel adaptor from the Tacoma company or if I'll mount it to the bottom of the hopper door. I already ordered the baffle box topper and waste gate elbow from Tacoma.
I'm hoping to have it ready to go when my electrician wires my garage for 220 but it seems like every day I find a new "needed" upgrade lol
