                :taz: Long time no gripe :taz:


 :reporter; .....
OK! so here it is!  Did you ever get so sick of seeing the same one TV commercial repeated over and over so that you have to change the channel. If you didn't change the channel you may have to :puke:    . Well here's mine and Borgies gripe. She along with many others got sucked into purchasing the infima's  "My Pillow". As I expected it was just what as I expected "crap!". Borgie sent it back and got a refund from QVC (the TV home shopping network). That was when they first came out on the market some time back. Then they started to advertize buy one and get one free. We figured that so many were sent back that they had to get rid of all the returned ones.

 :popcorn: ..
So, to cut the story short, today I found that they have now gotten themselves in some trouble. Borgie and I are now rejoicing  and cheering to hear the good news. :cheerleader:

          Your 'Z's Might be 'A+' But MyPillow Just Got Rated an 'F'

 
© The Better Business Bureau revoked its accreditation for MyPillow. MyPillow's BBB accreditation
The BBB said it had received 232 complaints about the company, a "substantial number" of which were about the BOGO offer confusion.

The BBB noted other issues such as "As Seen on TV" claims on the boxes that weren't actually seen on TV and a "full warranty" that wasn't actually "full."

In a statement to KARE, MyPillow company CEO Mike Lindell said "we run sales and specials for our customers, so that we can give as many people as possible the chance to have a great night's sleep." He said he was "terribly disappointed by the BBB's decision."

The company reportedly said it couldn't stop the BOGO offer for now but would look into doing it later in 2017.

In November the company settled for $1 million a false advertising lawsuit with several California counties over its health claims. Earlier last year a class action suit was proposed against the company over allegedly misleading advertising claims.

I always figger if they have to do the '"as seen on TV" thing, it's junk, otherwise it'd be in legit stores.  Most of it, anyway.

We have several of these pillows, and we like them!

The "F" rating was because of the way they handle their "promo code" allegedly you can't keep running a promo if you are already established.  :doah:

Not because of their product......

We have two of the pillows.  My wife said her's helps her with her neck.  For me they are ok and better than the pillows I've had but they are not a mirracle like the commercial seems to say.  I paid the full price for the two and when I saw the buy one get one free thing it pizzed me off a bit  [or buy two and get four].  good luck.

Yea, that has always bothered me to. But it was explained as it being a child board of the parent board. In other words, its a sub board inside the main board of that category.

The commercials that bother me the most are the Burger King ones.  They have the adults acting like idiots and it is stupid as heck.  I told the wife those guys must be embarrassed to do them.  Of course money talks.

Is that because the NL is usually over and it makes her stick her hand down her pants and then smell her fingers?   ;)

Lord I apologize for that one right there.
