    Hoovers canceling orders and forcing customers to the end of the line

    Again, I understand there can be problems. There are tons of things that happen in any industry, including this one. I'm not complaining about there being problems. I'm complaining about how they are resolving and handling those problems.

    Hoovers canceling orders and forcing customers to the end of the line

    And now they've blocked me on social media because I tagged them in a post where I complained about their bad customer service. Instead, they have put up misleading information stating they are contacting customers via email about their orders. I guess technically that is true, but they are...

    Hoovers canceling orders and forcing customers to the end of the line

    Hoovers canceling orders and forcing customers to the end of the line

    I placed an order through Hoover's Hatchery for shipping on February 1. They were informed by USPS on Jan 31st that they would not be able to ship. Instead of letting customer's know right away, they originally pushed my ship date out to February 2. Now I received a follow up email letting me...
