MILWAUKEE - Speaking with customer service can be time-consuming and stressful. When consumers can’t get the help they need, they can try Contact 6.
Before the first snowflakes of the season even fell, Leonard Taylor in Milwaukee found himself knee-deep in a snowblower dispute.
Taylor spent nearly $700 at a major retailer for a snowblower. The retailer said the snowblower had been delivered to his home. Taylor says it was never delivered.
Taylor made multiple calls to the retailer and visited the store, but got nowhere. When he asked for a refund at the store, Taylor was told he had to return the snowblower first.
"They wouldn't look any deeper into the situation," said Taylor.
