You need to pay the local BBB a fee to use that logo...

It's funny that when I was in the furniture business the BBB came to me and said that our company had been voted the #1 Furniture Store in the city and they wanted to do an article on us. All we needed to to do was become a member of the BBB. SO, I asked how we do that and they said we would need to pay the membership fee of $??? (can't remember the cost)
At the time the company didn't want to do it so I declined.

When the article came out there was a different furniture store voted #1!

What a joke!

Don't get me wrong, i think the BBB is a good thing.

But the way they did that?...give me a break!

Regardless, I would've paid the fee and slapped that article right on the front page of my website.

When I had my business in Vancouver, WA. a few years ago, it was something like $500/year.

Ouch!!!

Needless to say, I didn't see the value in joining.

The BBB calls me twice a year and every time they call they say "there were 16 inquiries last month regarding your business". Why is it always the same BS. I'ts more than $200 a year in Chicago. I think you pay more if you use their logo. I haven't had 1 person ask me if I was a member.

Default Re: InterNACHI becomes a BBB Accredited Business.

I use to belong but I got tried of crooked clients threatening me about turning me into the BBB. I have had only one complaint and they handled it poorly. The BBB had me basically convicted before they heard my side of the story. After the truth came out and the arbitrator found me innocent for two reasons, did I get an apology from for the lady at the BBB calling me a crook? No. So every time they call, I tell them the story on what happen. They always promise to have a higher up call me and retrotify the situation. But never get that call. Where do you file a complaint against the BBB?
Also the BBB in this case called it administratively resolved. How about ruled in the company's favor or the f_cking client is a lier.
