What does BBB accredited mean? I find that being recognized by the BBB means less and less to people as the years move on. Most younger generations don’t even know what it means and it’s importance.
When looking for a business to perform specific services you should try to find a Better Business Bureau (BBB) accredited company. The BBB is a non-profit organization that provides services and programs to assist consumers and businesses. The focus of a Bureau’s activities is to promote an ethical marketplace by encouraging honest advertising and selling practices, and alternative dispute resolution. The services and programs offered by your Better Business Bureau can help you be a more informed, knowledgeable and satisfied consumer.
The BBB offers several services. They collect and report specific information on business to help inform buyers. Every BBB accredited business has a profile online with a grade. There it also lists the number of complaints they have received. They also serve as a third party to help settle marketplace disputes. We have all been in a situation where we feel a refund is needed but the company refuses to give it to you. If they were a BBB business you could file a complaint against them and the BBB would force them to refund your money if the BBB decided you were the winner of the dispute.
This is an important thing to look for when you are searching for Xbox 360 or PS3 repair. There are ads after ads on Craigslist of people “claiming” they can fix your RROD or YLOD. They even agree to meet you at your house or a parking lot. This is never a good idea. Most of the time they take your money and hand you back a broken console that could now be completely unrepairable because they caused more damage than good. They aren’t recognized by the BBB so there is nothing you can do about. You are now stuck with a broken unit.
