Wow......thanks to all of your swift actions and advertising of this site, ABC 11 Eyewitness news (local to Raleigh-Durham) is going to do a news story about this website. I am going in within a couple days to do an interview and it will be on the local news. Finally, our cause is going to get some much needed media attention. I'll post the exact date and time of the airing as soon as I know of it. Time to get the public behind us  |

This is fantastic! Now, word of this terrible company will spread faster than ever! If I'm not mistaken, ABC channel 11 is WTVD, for those looking to find information. Good luck!

Hehe, here are some points you might want to think about mentioning. -Talk about their distaste to answer emails  -Their verisign logo abuse -Very whacky shipping prices, I swear they must have a random shipping generator -Poor shipping methods, no packaging -Never updates the average customer as to backorders or delays in order -Lies to the customer on the phone, thus bad customer service, if you could call it that. -Bad reviews on resellerratings.com and epinions. -And a little kudos to them, so you aren't completely whacking them, talk about their ebay account which they seem to be doing relatively well, although they did initially inflate their feedback with 700+ purchases. |

Boycott
Can't wait to see this news spot! Great work! Please be careful what you say though. Make sure you state only facts that can be based on evidence. BBB reports etc. Also if there is time find out if you can quote God on some of these injustices Buy Rite performs daily such as there out of stock items sub par shipping etc. Please post when interview will be aired. This is awesome!

If at all possibnle, try to find out who God is and ask him to give the information that he knows.
It's alot more believeable when you hear it straight from the horses mouth than from the Friend chain.

Not gonna happen. God doesn't do interviews and prefers to remain anonymous.

That's why you can ask for a Blue Dot interview.
They alter your voice and blur out your face. or light you from the black so no one can tell who you are.
Or you could just write down teh offenses that you witnesses and just be refered to as an anonymous former employee.

Yay!
Ask them to go undercover so they can get yelled at!
This is so choice!

Saw the news spot. Not as aggressive as I would have been but a good spot overall. I doubt it will get any reaction from Buy Rite personally but it will hopefully let others know of the site and we can warn prospective customers.

Caught the TV story today. Have to say it was a bit anticlimatic.
It was basically a fluff piece, good for some free publicity for the site, but not much else. Her "hundreds of customers soon hit the site to complain" statement amused me though.
I haven't paid much attention to the troubleshooter reports, but from what I've seen I don't see this woman as exactly having a ton of credibility.
I don't think this piece did much to address the real legitimate complaints, rather than just come across as venting without doing any real research into the business or it's practices.
Speaking of credibility...those super annoying popups have come back...they really make the site look cheesy. The yellow logo could use some revamping too.
If you want this site taken seriously, I'd do more to make it look more professional and emphasize the legitimate and well presented complaints, and minimize the BuyRite suxs cox and I want them die!!!!!!1 stuff.
