The BBB sent me an email regarding Shopster's "Satisfactory rating".
It appears that unless Shopster resolves their issue with me, their BBB membership will be in jeopardy. The following is part of an email from the BBB.
"Hello Randy:
Actually the report on this company does not say the company satisfactory rating. It says it is UPDATING. A member company cannot have an unresolved complaint. We are dealing with this internally..."
A MEMBER COMPANY CANNOT HAVE AN UNRESOLVED COMPLAINT.
