Chorus: Why, Why, Why.... Mike & Vera?

Right from the BBB.org website...

I am in disbelief with the poor customer service I have been receiving with Camelback Consign and Design since I gave them many house hold items over a year ago. They never contact me when one of my items sells and I have to call each month to find out, though the contract I have with them says they pay out by the 17th of each month. When something does sell it takes months to get a check from them and only after calling them every week to remind them. Now, this past week they sent me a check for $200 for chairs that they sold last May and the check bounced and I have bank fees to pay! When I talk to ****, the store manager, she always has a lame excuse and blames it on the store owner, ****. There are also items of mine that they can not account for! When I spoke with ****, he said he would go through my list and photographs and get back to me, and I still have not heard from him. I would not recommend doing business with these people!! They are disorganized and just blame each other for anything that goes wrong!! THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE!! This customer had a NEGATIVE experience with this business. This customer WOULD NOT recommend the business to a friend, family member, neighbor or colleague. by Louisa K. on 10/2/2013 | Submit a Customer Review Was this review helpful to you? YesNo 4 people found this review helpful. I consigned some furniture with this outfit and had a bad experience in receiving payment from said company. I had to threaten them with going on channel 3 on your side before I had received full payment. I put my items with them to sell on Aug 31,2012 and after all the prices were either sold or donated which took 4 months to sell, I finally received full payment June 7,2013. They always had some lame excuse. No excuse for this type of treatment. Consigners beware. This customer had a NEGATIVE experience with this business. This customer WOULD NOT recommend the business to a friend, family member, neighbor or colleague. by Daniel W. on 6/8/2013 |  For all of the juicy details the BBB has to offer, use this link. DON'T KID YOURSELF.  Mike Burns wasn't born yesterday. He wasn't born on the Fourth of July, either. NOPE. Mike Burns was born on 9/11 in 1952.  He was destined.  Don't forget to tip a hat to Ms. Indispensable, Vera Manuz, either. Where would Mike be without her? I don't know if the truth will set you free. But fuss loud enough with a big 'nough bunch a friends and I swear folks 'll do near anything to get you to shut up. Fast as they can.  For more details, check out these posts: AG WINS NEW JUDGMENT V CONSIGNMENT VAMPIRE. TOTAL NOW = $709,289.06! APRIL FOOLS' 2015! AG seeks settlement with Mike Burns.
