I went to make an online purchase on the Williams Sonoma website. I have never in my life seen such a dishonest website. When I checked out, I was shown the amount of my purchase. However, I was not shown the shipping charge (which was 60 percent of the cost of my merchandise) or the tax until the order was completed and paid for. In other words, you will have no idea whatsoever what you total charge will be until after you pay for your order. To me, this looks like intentional fraud.

It is my individual, personal, subjective opinion, belief, and interpretation that I was ripped off by this company. Therefore, it is my individual, personal, subjective opinion, belief, and interpretation that the company is incompetent, dishonest, and/or unethical. The foregoing review solely provides my individual, personal, subjective opinions, beliefs, and interpretations. Any individuals who may view this review, or any part thereof, should examine the facts and issues for themselves and form their own individual, subjective, personal opinions, beliefs, and interpretations.

LG is the absolute worst of the worst. I would say that the Owner's Manuals for LG TVs and sound bars were written by a chimpanzee, but chimpanzees are much more intelligent than whoever wrote the Owner's Manuals. To make matters worse, LG technical assistance personnel do not have a clue vis-a-vis the operation on their TVs and sound bars. Among other problems, the subwoofer does not work and it is impossible to set the tone adjustments. In sum this is a piece of unadulterated garbage. While I do not consider myself to be a techie, I am not new to tech. My entire home is automated. All of my light bulbs, outlets, switches, door locks, HVAC functions, garage doors, etc., are wifi. And yet the LG TV and sound bar are completely elusive. In sum, I cannot even begin to find words that would convey my extreme disappointment with LG. Whatever you might do, don't buy a LG product.

I truly believe that Chase is absolutely the worst of the worst. Chase's so-called customer service is abominable (it should be called customer disservice) and its handling of its depositors' money is extremely incompetent and sloppy, which is being generous. It is my personal opinion that I have reason to at least question Chase's solvency and Chase's ability to meet its obligations to its customers. I had two checking accounts, three credit cards, and a safe deposit box with Chase for many years. To the best of my recollection, I never bounced a check or failed to pay my credit card balances in full each month on or before the due date. Nonetheless, I received a letter from Chase stating that Chase had (past tense) cancelled all of my Chase credit cards, without any notice to me, at least seven days before I received Chase's letter. The letter also informed me that Chase was cancelling my Chase checking accounts and my safe deposit box. The letter failed to provide any reason whatsoever for Chase's draconian actions. I made numerous calls and sent numerous letters to Chase to learn why Chase had canceled my accounts, but Chase has steadfastly refused to give me a reason for their bizarre cancellation. The Chase staff at the branch I used was palpably shocked by Chase's cancellation of my accounts because I was an exemplary Chase customer. The Chase staff made several calls to get the reason for Chase's cancellation of my accounts, but they could not get any information. A couple of Chase's staff guessed that the cancellation of my accounts might have been caused by my long history of making large withdrawals from my checking accounts. Hence, it is my personal opinion and belief that Chase might have cancelled my accounts because my frequent large withdrawals, if continued, could have exposed an insolvency problem at Chase and an inability of Chase to meet its obligations to its customers. Moreover, it took Chase over a month to give me the interest that had been earned on my two cancelled checking accounts prior to Chase's closure of the accounts. To make matters worse, I discovered that Chase made an unauthorized cash withdrawal from my company's checking account. To the best of my recollection, I have never made a cash withdrawal from my company's account. After spending numerous hours on the phone with Chase over two days, I finally got a copy of the withdrawal slip. Neither the name of the account nor the account number on the withdrawal slip matched or even slightly resembled my company's name or account number. Moreover, the signature on the withdrawal slip did not even slightly resemble any of the authorized signatures on my company's account. Chase's payment of cash out of my company's account was inexcusably incompetent, and sloppy, and it resulted in another customer's banking information (account number and account name and account holder's signature) being shared with me. I, personally, would not trust Chase with even one penny of my money because I, personally, believe that Chase might be insolvent and unable to meet its obligations to its customers and that Chase's handling of its customers' accounts is incompetent and sloppy. It is my individual, personal, subjective opinion and belief, that Chase is incompetent, dishonest, and/or unethical and might have insolvency problems and be unable to meet its obligations to its customers.

I sent this review to Chase for comments and corrections before publishing it. Chase refused to respond.
