Better Business Bureau Warns Consumers of “F” Rated Businesses
Better Business Bureau of Middle TN and Southern KY is providing consumers with a list of businesses to avoid. These businesses were identified as offering services and products that have resulted in numerous complaints. These complaints are due to misleading ads and offers, unsatisfactory services, and misrepresented products. Each business identified has been contacted by BBB concerning their business practices, unresolved customer complaints, and failure to discontinue the cause of customer complaints.
“The best way for consumers to protect themselves against bad businesses is to check a company out on BBB.org,” said Robyn Householder, President & CEO of Better Business Bureau Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. “Before signing a contract or utilizing a company’s services, slow down and do your research.”
Better Business Bureau is encouraging consumers to avoid Hunter’s Lodge, Nashville Wholesale Studio, and All in US moving services.
Hunter’s Lodge – BBB Rating: F
104 Waterfork Rd, Ethridge, TN 38456
931-766-0755– info@hunterslodge.com
Pattern of Complaints:
Hunter’s Lodge provides historical firearms and military accouterments. This company has a pattern of complaints alleging delivery issues and product issues. Specifically, consumers alleged the company failed to provide delivery of products in a timely manner, if at all. In addition, concerns were voiced that items ordered were misrepresented as authentic; there were multiple references to receiving cheaply made “knock-offs” instead of what was advertised. Almost all the complainants indicated that representatives were unresponsive to both email and phone inquiries. In the rare instance when a consumer was able to reach someone, promises of delivery were made but not kept.
On March 2, 2020, BBB sent certified correspondence to the company to request their voluntary cooperation in resolving the unanswered complaints as well as their cooperation in eliminating the pattern of complaints; however, the company failed to respond.
Hunter’s Lodge currently has 19 unanswered complaints.
