Review of HP

HP (Hewlitt Packard) PREDATORY

HP (Hewlitt Packard) is PREDATORY. I bought an HP printer years ago.It requires apps that have you subscribe to ink according to usage. It doesn't matter how much I think I saved buying it on sale because I am paying about $150 annually for the privilege of using a printer I thought I had bought outright. Even worse, since this thing has been malfunctioning it sends signals back to base camp that I've used more ink and pages than I actually have. The latest monthly charge was around $7.
The little window told me I can't print unless I play ball so this HP shakedown machine is going straight into the trash. Also their tech support is inept, nothing personal, they probably don't pay them enough - but if you have 3 hours to waste give em a call. HP, absolute worst you can do. BUYER BEWARE.

Scammy, unscrupulous Ripoff site. Save yourself the trouble

With certainty I cancelled auto-renew some time ago. I had subscribed with a special reduced offer. A few days ago I watched a $299 charge pop up in my email. I contacted them IMMEDIATELY using the web form to let them know. I got a form letter more or less saying “too bad, jokes on you. Enjoy your subscription.” I wrote back this was outrageously unfair, nothing to enjoy here and then I opened a dispute with my credit card. For one thing, they don’t make it easy to cancel- room for error. They do clickbait by saying you were mentioned in a paper. Completely unscrupulous. Judging from reviews I am not alone in this. I wish there was a class action suit against them. UPDATE: to Academia.edu as per your reply. I AM NOT PAYING THIS CHARGE. Reporting your dishonest practices to Better Business Bureau and any other consumer outlet I can find to warn others. TRUSTPILOT reviewers please do the same.

Review of ManyPets US


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Extraordinary Company. Top notch Service.

Pets are family. My biggest regret is not having had insurance for my pets that already passed. We now cover all our pets with ManyPets. ManyPets has made it possible for our cat who developed cancer to get the doctoring he needs. He’s still with us and living a quality life. Everyday is a gift. Thank you ManyPets for making this possible and for making the entire process so easy. No muss, no fuss. Everyone I’ve corresponded with is knowledgeable, compassionate and efficient. I wish my own health insurance was this good. If you’re shopping around I highly recommend ManyPets!
