Reminder: We Want to Hear You Kvetch

Keep those consumer complaints rolling in, folks. We read each one, trying to determine if you’ve got a real beef (and you almost always do), and do our best to get the word out.

Welcome to the Consumerist

Welcome, internet, to The Consumerist, the latest title from Gawker Media. The Consumerist loves to shop, and is reconciled to utilities, but hates paying for shoddy products, inhumane customer support, and half-assed service.
