I'm sure it's only a matter of time till they try to get you to pay for past months. I would keep calling every day, LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vendors-ugh#post-1051179 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 07:24:07 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1051179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: nooo. I didn't pay in July hoping thay would make them call or email. I sent an email stating not to cut the lawn in August until we have a conversation. They cut the lawn. I did not pay in August. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vendors-ugh#post-1051168 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 07:22:01 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1051168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: I know, I know. We really want to contract with the landscape company that re-did our front and backyard, but they are $70 more a month than what we are currently paying. The owner is a perfectionist and his team was great. Searching for a new company similarly priced to what he now is so much work. Ugh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vendors-ugh#post-1051164 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 07:21:25 +0000 LindsayInNY 1051164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Are you still paying them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vendors-ugh#post-1051148 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 07:15:38 +0000 Dandelion 1051148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Sounds like it's time to get another lawn maintenance company! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vendors-ugh#post-1051141 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 07:13:33 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1051141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: DH tried to do the lawn maintenance and pool himself, but quickly realized he is not up for the task. We have 4 pieces of lawn equipment collecting dust in the garage.</p> <p>@Dandelion: yeah, and still no phone call from the new guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vendors-ugh#post-1051125 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 07:03:25 +0000 Cole 1051125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh! How frustrating! We have had some bad luck with vendors but no one seemed to have a reasonable excuse!</p> <p>When we first bought our house we didn't have a mower and called a social acquaintance (someone we see close to weekly!) who runs a lawn care business. He stood us up multiple times and we wound up getting charged by our city because he no showed again and our lawn was too long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vendors-ugh#post-1051113 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 06:53:36 +0000 mediagirl 1051113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is why we do most things around the house ourselves, so we don't have to worry about things like this! So frustrating. </p> <p>We have seen bad things, like my neighbor ordering $9000 worth of sod delivery and install just to have weeds left in his yard when they laid his sod and a bad sprinkler install. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vendors-ugh#post-1051106 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 06:47:28 +0000 Dandelion 1051106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's crazy...I wonder why you didn't get a notice about that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vendors-ugh#post-1037515 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:25:12 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1037515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wanting to pull my hair out for months. Well now I know why I have been ignored! </p> <p>My lawn service has been horrible for the past 4 months. I wanted to talk to the owner about getting a quote for mulch and discuss the service issues. Emails, voicemails and even non-payment went ignored. Finally I found his card with his cell phone and sent him a text. He sold the business! He responded to my text and will pass along my request for a call to the new owner. </p> <p>Has anyone else gone through something similar? </p>
