    Complaint Type:
    Sales and Advertising Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    In September of 2021 I contacted 1-800-GOT-JUNK after viewing one of their TV ads promoting their service of picking up trash which included tires. I had a number of tires that I wanted to get rid of along with garbage bags of trash and an old beat up sofa. When they arrived they refused to take the tires even after I told them their ads do show them removing tires. I wrote to the owner of 1-800-GOT-JUNK and complained about their use of grossly misleading advertising but never heard back from him. In the letter I told him if I ever see another misleading ad I would file a complaint with the *** office and the BBB. On Saturday 7/30/22 I saw a number of their ads on **** TV once again showing an ad them shows them removing tires. Again, this is blatantly misleading advertising and I want consumers of this egregious pratice by this company.

    Your quoting system by your in-house salespeople is extremely deceptive. In contrast, your quoting system by the people who show up at my doorstep is great. The guys that showed up clearly explained the pricing in terms of 1/8th of the truck. And that 1/8th the truck is about 1 refrigerator. So the pricing is: 1/8th the truck = X amount, 1/4 = 2X amount, 3/8th=3X amount, and so on. This is simple, clear, and easy to understand. So why can't you have your in-house/phone people explain it the same way? Or is this part of your overall deceptive sales strategy just to get someone to the house and then do the sale? Your company should be ashamed of your deceptive sales tactics. You obviously know how to explain it clearly but choose not to over the phone. And if you think I may have just gotten a bad inside sales rep, you are wrong. I called two times, spoke to two separate salespeople, and got the same deceptive sales pitch. Your company should be ashamed of yourself. I will follow up with a negative ****** and BBB review. And the next time I need something moved, I will hire some bums off the street before talking to 1 800 Got Junk
