I write this understanding that Covid has created much difficulty for companies needing to supply and ship within the US. I also write having read their web pages on both shipping and the Covid situation. It still stands that I purchased a tent, the money was taken (for expedited shipping, as well), no confirmation or shipping has been indicated within the very specific timeline they give, and there is *nobody* on the ends of their live chat, phones, or email contacts.

They indicate they truly, really will ship a tent within a day of purchase. It says they may not get back to a customer quickly because they are working during Covid. But this late in the game, with ample time for vaccinations and adjusting to the new norm, the website should reflect reality and if they aren't responding to customers, they shouldn't be taking orders. Now I need to go through the process of finding out how to cancel when their website cancellation doesn't seem to work, and I need to find a replacement less than 2 weeks prior to my event.

Not working with them in the future. There is no way this kind of situation rates a high BBB score.

Tip for consumers:
Call the company you want to order from first - don't use these folks if you don't get a verbal or written response.

I run a business that only needs 1-2 surveys a year. I'm happy to pay per survey, or a reasonable 1 month fee even - but they make it impossible to do. As other reviewers have noted, they insist you sign up for a subscription (with your credit card: warning) and although they claim they offer a monthly service (at $99!) they make you sign up for yearly/pay FIRST and then you get to adjust everything.

I tried to use a basic survey and they waited until I had results coming in (this was small - maybe 45 responses from a small event) and they HID surveys and basically held my results for ransom until I subscribed at ridiculous rates. They did not disclose that they would hide your results after 40 answers until it was in process. That's just not good business, and it's not honest.

There is no way to contact them directly unless you have a paid subscription. Not email, not a chat line, no phone. So on their contact page? Everything is greyed out with a "upgrade to a paid subscription" account button conveniently available.

This is really bad practice and I'm done with them.

Tip for consumers:
Don't use this survey company. There are many more out there that are more flexible and willing to let customers choose a plan or service that fits specific needs, job size, and budget.

Tried to sign up for an educator's account, didn't want to pay a year, ended up using basic/free.
