I find your blog very useful. Consumer reports at the present time can be very helpful. In case you want to buy something from this or that company you should first learn about other customers’ experience with the company. Personally I do this every time. It is the best way to protect yourself from bad customer service and poor quality products and services. There is a very good site - www.pissedconsumer.com, where you can find a bunch of consumer reports concerning literary all the companies.
