Turn one complaint into a collective action

PC collective complaint

A Collective Complaint helps you unite consumers dealing with the same issue, such as wrong charges, unexpected fees, damaged items, or misleading promises. It goes beyond a single review by growing stronger with every signature, making it harder to ignore. Once you reach 20 supporters, we’ll send it to the company to encourage a response.

  • Looking for an early-1980s magazine about a computerized sawmill in Lincoln, CA, Bohemia Inc. of Oregon; Dan Griffin was interviewed and photographed.

Hello I am looking for a magazine from early 1980's that has an article on a computerized sawmill in Lincoln, Ca owned by Bohemia Inc out of Oregon. They interviewed my husband, Dan Griffin, and his picture was in the magazine.

He is retiring and would like to put it on display.

This job was a huge accomplishment for him. Thank you for any help you can offer

Wording used in a recent article in your magazine.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • I looked forward to Forbes 50 Over 50 after Mika Brzezinski.
  • The piece shows women coming into their own; 'growing older' is questioned.

I was so looking forward to your 50 Over 50 edition of Forbes after I saw Mika Brzezinski interviewed on The Today Show. To be sure, the women highlighted in your magazine illustrate that women are (finally) coming into their own.

However, I do take umbrage with the very first sentence of the article (to wit): For these dynamic women, growing older .

.

.

Please note that, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the word old means In or belonging to the past. Perhaps the wording: growing more mature would have been more appropriate.

User's recommendation: My wording is self-explanatory. Thanks.

Randall Lane's calls for blackballing

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • User accuses Forbes of being aligned with the far left and of censorship.
  • User says they are blacklisting Forbes and all its services forever.

When did Forbes become an arm of the far left? Count me out; I have no patience for blackballing or censorship and your magazine should be ashamed of itself.

Im sure your founder would be. I'm blacklisting Forbes and every one of its services, forever.

User's recommendation: Don't purchase anything from Forbes, they are totalitarian as predicted by Orwell

  • Paid for a Brazil magazine subscription but never received it.
  • Contact channels were ineffective and Brazilian complaints remain unresolved.

I paid for a subscription to the magazine in Brazil and never received it. I accessed all contact channels without success - total disregard and disrespect. Complaint sites in Brazil are full of unanswered occurrences - they are those companies that don't do what they write.

Phony offer for free gift with subscription

AI Highlights
  • Ordered Forbes Magazine for Anthony Colatrella; first issue arrived.
  • The watch was the reason for ordering to aid glaucoma reading; it has not arrived.

In October I ordered Forbes Magazine for my husband, Anthony Colatrella. Last week he received his first issue of the magazine.

To date, he has not received the Forbes Wall Street Classic watch. The watch is the reason for ordering the magazine because it has a large face and is easy to read. My husband has glaucoma and I felt this watch would be much easier for him too read than the one he now has. Hope the offer is for real as I would not have ordered the magazine without the hype of the watch!!!

My phone number is 617-333-****.

My email is mcolatrella@***.net. Please tell me when we can expect our "FREE GIFT" of the watch.

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered
