NBCUniversal Marcus lemonis the profit

Your Profit took from me in one week what took my hole career to save.
My retirement. My wife and I planned for years that for our retirement we where going to buy a Coach and become file time RVers.
While on a vacation in Fla we came across our retirement dream for sale at the Gander RV in St Augustine. We asked all the right questions and got all the right answers and felt conferrable making the buy.
While driving home we had a blow out on tires that we were sold on as being in great shape. The dates on the tires couldn't be seen because it appeared they had been turn so the dates couldn't be seen. The coast for road service was $619.00. We also lost an air pressure gage. The day after getting home I had to move the Coach and couldn't start it. Had road service, $250, come and they couldn't start it. Had to tow the Coach, $650, to a repair shop. Total repairs over $8, 000 to be told that nothing had been done for service in quit some time. Not what I was told from my sales person. Tried to work this all out under Marcus's moto "IF YOUR NOT HAPPY I'AM NOT HAPPY" and his e-mail and his office number telling you to use them. Didn't happen
How can you have this show with this man.
The PROFIT has made his money on the backs of his victims.

NBCUniversal Marcus lemonis and the profitable camping world

You guys are using a really bad man in your show the profit. You should be looking at things like the fb page, camping word experience. There are thousands of people, just like us, who have been ripped off by the hundreds of thousands of dollars. A lot of us spent our retirement money on coaches that are not safe enough to use! I actually filed a formal complaint with the department of consumer affairs. Turns out I was #46 officially filed just in the state of nc, since 2015! That's really bad! Y'all really need to take a look at who you are modeling with your show, the profit. Really bad!

NBCUniversal today in ny early news!

I am complaining about the poor productiom of the am early newsf rom nbc. THE producer must be fired. He exploits females for his own merit. He put on the traffic girl as meat to have just her legs shown and body. This has gine in long enough. I cant allow y 12 yr old son to watch the news on this station. I have him watch Fox and CBS only. Then THE video are shown on u-tube and opens up like a porn movie. With oaning a dgroa ing. It isdiscusting. We wroteto the fcc and have complaineddirectly with NO results. You have this anandguji working for you that made porn films and this what he does.

NBCUniversal the hunt

I emailed Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday night immediately after reading the Hollywood Reporter story on The Hunt - this despicable movie your CEO, Donna Langley had the audacity to buy from Jason Blum for $10 million dollars. She should be fired and Blum needs to go immediately.
I am glad it blew up all over the media by Thursday and Friday and that the President called you out on it.
I hate UNIV now, this is beyond the pale that UNIV would even consider buying let alone make a film like this - this is not satire, as UNIV claims, this is exactly how you all feel! Liars!
We are all boycotting UNIV/NBC from now on for the absolute insult you tried to perpetrate on the American people, [censored]! Your company is out of control and insulting and Langley should be fired Immediately!

This morning on MSNBC you showed Julián Castro's brother who is a Congressman at the border as a presidential candidate. Really? Did you maybe forget that he is not a candidate but one you left put and continuously ignore is Beto O'Rourke? I'm getting ready to switch to CNN permanently!

NBCUniversal digital copies

I bought a movie for my daughter with a digital copy to download and use on long trips. The code provided had already expired before I even bought the movie.
I emailed tech support twice and never got a response. There is no phone number available to call for assistance. I am very disappointed at the lack of costumer service assistance options. I have bought other nbcuniversal movies and have had the same issue.
I no longer plan to buy anymore nbcuniversal products for this reason. I have informed friend about this issue.

NBCUniversal xtreme wireless headphones

Placed my order on Jill's steals and deals on April 4. My credit card was charged on April 4th and it is not April 16th. I cannot get any information on my product. Looked and there were previous complaints regarding this same seller and Jills steals and deals. I feel this is fraud and I am shocked the NBC is participating.

NBCUniversal xtreme time wireless headphones

I purchased Xtreme Tkme wireless headphones November 10 2018. Today is 12/18/18 and i still have no merchandise and there's no shipping info. The link the company sent says "shipping info not available"
The defective clause is only 30 days post purchase yet I don't even have them.
The company is not very responsive and NBC has no contact info to assist customer.

I have received a late shipment today, the quality couldn't be worse this time.
In addition, one of the items I ordered was a tefal kettle which has arrived in a torn box missing the heater and its wire!
The whole experience this time and the products are so bad, hence, I would like to return all the shipment.
Other items are in their original boxes.

NBCUniversal Olympic Medals coverage

For the past few Olympics the television stations (including NBC) have seemed to feel it not necessary to televise the medals ceremonies. Being a proud American I look forward to seeing the athletes getting their award for working so hard and showing the rest of the world how great we are! Unfortunately the television stations have chosen not to allow us to see that. I for one have lost interest in most of the Olympics as I'm sure many peoplke have which is why viewing is down so much. It used to be you could see the whole competition up to and including the medals ceremony but instead showing only the finals and no medals. Very disappointed and frustrated in this change. Why is it happening?

NBCUniversal No Customer Service Support

I placed an order on November 30th 2015, for a t-shirt. The order came on time but was the wrong size, I attempted to submit an email to customer service which is what the shipping slip recommended and now it is going on 2 weeks without a response. I tried calling the only customer service number listed and I put on hold for 10 min and then the line disconnects. I have called other NBC store numbers in an attempt to get tips on how to get assistance and they say they can't help at all. It appears my only option is to order the right size and eat the cost of the item, instead of getting the exchange I wanted. So frustrated, I cannot believe a company as big as NBC can not provide any customer support.

NBCUniversal Joe Scarborough/Andrea Mitchell

Both Mr. Scarbarough and Ms Mitchell flavoring their reporting regarding a speech given by the Prime Minister of Isreal to show their dislike/disregard of the President of the United States, democrats in the US Senate and US House of Representatives, their presentations made their viewers understand their own political drive, their utter disregard of the President and their distaste for colleagues and persons with conflicting interpretations of yesterdays proceedings. News on a reputable news agency should reflect accurate and non-biased commentary of the topic being presented. Mr. Scarborough was at one time a Congressman and Ms Mitchell has no role in the government of the United States. Their on air presentation reflected their support of the Prime Minister over that of the Executive branch of the U.S. Although, this has been building over the past several months and came to a head today. Mr. Scarborough's outbursts of anger at his co-host Mica was outrageous, his on air disparaging remarks to her and about to other participants in the discussion was embarrassing to watch and I am sure to Mica herself. That and the accompanying facial and body gestures by Ms Mitchell was totally non-professional and should result in suspension or other disciplinary actions. Her continued disparaging remarks a few hours later about the Executive Branch including the President to the Ambassador from Isreal, She has no say what so ever in the functioning of diplomatic responsibilities of our government. These 2 persons bring irreparable harm to a vital news agency, please review and for the sake of your viewers finally take some action. Thank you.

NBCUniversal Don't deal with these scammers

The problem of nbcuniversalstore.com is that their advertisement states that all goods are available, but the information is false. When I purchased from them 3 items, I received only two of them within a month. The third one never came. They told me that the third item is out of stock and they will send me refund for it. They are still in the process of refund. I do not recommend you to deal with this seller, you can wait for the purchases for ages.

NBCUniversal &CHECKOOK JOURNALISM& Paying Hannah & Brett Anderson for Documentary

SHAME ON NBC NEWS! They are using "checkbook journalism" to secure the story of Hannah Anderson's so-called "ordeal" last summer by Jim DiMaggio for a documentary. Recently the shameful "Peacock network" flew Hannah and her father, Brett to NYC. They put them up in a hotel & received tickets to go see Miley Cyrus. While in New York, Hannah Anderson made sure to offer up to interviewer Savannah Guthrie on the morning Today Show some inane details of her "kidnapping" such as "playing Russian Roulette, " even though DiMaggio had a rifle not a pistol. Another no-brainer: Hannah asked DiMaggio "was he okay" after the FBI sharp-shooters pumped 6 bullets into the man and he fell over dead!

This is what the once-proud NBC News wants to do business with. I won't be watching this train wreck show full of more lies and made-up stories from Hannah Anderson and her enabling parent. Network representatives say their only payments are licensing fees for photographs and videos, not for interviews.Yeah, right.

According to a recent story in the well-respected Washington Post, "Mainstream news organizations typically frown on paying sources, lest the payments taint the sources’ veracity or color the news outlet’s objectivity in reporting the story. Although some news organizations, such as the National Enquirer and TMZ.com, pay for news, checkbook journalism is considered unethical by the Society of Professional Journalists and other professional news organizations."

I hope that NBC News is proud of themselves: throwing good money after bad! Real journalists and writers do not look kindly at the news division negotiating this exclusive documentary deal, reportedly for more than $100, 000, with the family of Hannah Anderson. Because so many questions about this case remain unanswered and many people are of the impression that the Lakeside, CA. teen could have possibly had a greater involvement in the deaths of her mother, brother and family dog than is being publicly acknowledged. For NBC News to enrich someone thought to have been more of an accomplice and less of a "victim, " in her so-called "ordeal" is despicable and another slap in the face to the injustice done to the memories of her deceased family members, pet dog, and yes--even her Uncle Jim, who might not have been the crazed killer he is portrayed as.

NBCUniversal Shipping address error (and no cancelation option)

I'm from Brazil and my paypal account is registered there. I'm currently in the US, however, and wanted to buy some shirts from the NBC store yesterday night.

After choosing the products, the site showed me an acceptable shipping rate, so I proceeded (I hadn't yet filled the shipping address). Next I was asked to login on paypal, which automatically set the shipping address to my paypal address (in Brazil). The following screen took me back to the NBC site where I corrected the shipping address to the US. I then got through the next step and accidentally confirmed the order.

When doing that I immediately noticed the amount charged was the double of what I expected and the order was actually being sent to Brazil, even though I specified otherwise, with the shipping costs being larger than the actual merchandise.

I looked in the NBC site for a way to cancel, saw a disclaimer that they usually begin processing orders about an hour after they are made (and I couldn't cancel them afterwards), and filed a ticket with type "Change/Cancel Order" specifying the order number in a separate field. I sent the ticket about 10 minutes after the order was completed, and it was late at night, so I was pretty sure some automatic processing should stop it in time.

However, I received an e-mail around noon today saying they couldn't cancel the order since it was already processed.

Though I made a mistake in confirming the purchase, this was caused by confusing information (showing me an acceptable rate when checking out and asking me for my paypal password before the value was set) and a major error in the site (not updating the address correctly. I'm not sure how this error could have happened - I don't want to reach that stage again for fear of doing another non cancellable purchase -, my best guess is there could have been a 'save address' button and I clicked 'proceed to next step', which didn't update).

I immediately realized the mistake, but apparently NBC Store's shipment is so efficient someone went running out of storage immediately with my shirts and thrown them in an international flight in the middle of the night. I doubt they'll arrive so soon, however.

NBCUniversal Purchase

item # 125-399 order #[protected] customer #[protected] ordered 1/19/13; I tried to order on the phone and on line, apparently I was 30 mins late on the flash price. I just noticed I was charged the regular price so I called to see if the flash price could be honored, it was NOT. The ring will be returned ASAP. I also found the same ring, 1 ct twd, sterling silver, front overlay wrap ring for $250. I would have kept the order if the flash price would have been honored; however, why should I? I am very disappointed with SHOP.NBC, perhaps I have not spent enough thousand dollars with your company. I am a customer service/sales rep and there is A LOT of competition out there. I would never walk away from a sale for $100; especially when the product is in stock. Needless to say HSN.CON will be getting more of my attention in the future. The customer service dept did not respond to my email complaint nor did they offer to make it right by waiving the shipping or offer a coupon to keep future business. As I stated prior; how much money does one have to spend to deserve customer service and want to remain a loyal customer. I am totally SHOCKED.

I would like to apologize for the complaint regarding SHOP NBC; they did come through and make an exception. I am happy to know that customer service is still alive in 2013.

Jan 23, 2013 7:00 pm EST

Why should they compensate me? Why should they not? If you were in sales would you not? Or would you just keep inventory collecting dust. SHOP NBC did compensate me and I did apologize for my harsh email. I am an exceptional customer. Do - or are you loyal to any one company? I am sure everyone makes exceptions at some time. I do in my line of business and will not loose a sale for $100. I called prior to my rant and was told no can do. When I want something I try to get it - and yes I did verify I was 15 Min's after the time frame. Can I help it if they are busy on line or on the phone. I trust SHOP NBC, I order a lot, and as it turns out I will stay a loyal customer and I am going to make this complaint right as they came through with my request after they said NO. In your lifetime have you never asked for any exception as a loyal customer to anyone? Furthermore this is not a habit for me as I do not take advantage of companies I do a lot of business with.

My wife ordered some watches for me a year ago and UPS never delivered them. We made a claim and it was satisfied by UPS, but Shop NBC still put me in collections without notification. I can't order anything anymore until this issue is resolved but NO ONE at Shop NBC can help. I don't understand their definition of customer service. There is NO service.

I like the fact that she said that she is a customer service/sales rep. So I guess, I can come into where she works with a flyer from a year ago and expect to get an item for the same low price as in the flyer and complain how crappy the customer service is when I am refused.

NBCUniversal Luke Russert

I was just watching an MSNBC segment with Luke Russert reporting, this man has never learned the skills for reporting that his father displayed over his many years at NBC. This gentleman was thrown into a position at NBC and MSNBC for which he has no skills, he does not meet the skill level of most NBC and MSNBC reporters and always injects his own bias as a friend of the young republican leaders of the House of Representatives in his efforts to report on happenings in the Congress. He consistently interjects negative comments about the President in every opportunity he gets, he flavors his reports in favor of his relationships with republican leaders, and is totally unprofessional in his ability to keep his own personal bias out of the news he is reporting. He has referred to former President Clinton by the name "Bubba" while on the air and he summarizes President Obama as "unable to negotiate his way out of a paper bag."
He is a disgrace to the high reputation that NBC News has worked so hard to obtain.

Hello all! I have lived in Pittsburgh all my life & am a Pens fan as is everyone I know! I have just recently learned that the remainder of the playoffs will not be allowed to be shown on the jumbo-tron outside of Mellon Arena due to television ratings. I just wanted to say I think that SUX! This is good for our city! Wish we could change your minds! I watch NBC but this might be a reason I choose to watch it less! GO PENS!

NBCUniversal Sefano Jewerly

I usually would never by jewelry from HSN, QVC or SHOP NBC - But I had my eye on a Mesh 14kt gold bracelet from
Stefano on Shop NBC. He must design directly for them, as I have not been able to locate his website.
Anyway after reading the reviews ( and you can't please everybody) it was finally on sale.
The reviews stated that it would stretch out and become non-fixable.
I have a large wrist, so I assumed I would be fine.
Loved the Bracket after 1 year, it stretched so it just fell off, and almost lost at a Dr, Appt.
I had called customer service who was no help and want as far as to call the corporate office, with no solution except to
take to my local jeweler. Lesson learned - Buyer Beware - If it's too good to be true it's probably crap.
I meant to post this sooner - Just didn't have the time - Never again they lost a customer for all merchandise
