That was back in 1980-86
who did you rent that through?
Our water has been High and fast. It takes the fish that our available out of my skill level. My brother gets pissed when I lose his tackle. I understand. However half of his tackle is my old stuff. With the water so fast it is hard to retrieve shit....
Do tell more. What wasn't good, and what platform would you use instead?
Sorry to hear! Fingers crossed it is not as bad as it sounds.
doesn't the sprinter belong to someone you know though?
Yes, one person got Covid while on vacation, found out after coming back to work. We immediately made a list of everybody with exposure risk, sent them for testing and then home until results came back. Shutting down bike fulfillment for about a week was sub optimal, but nobody else caught it, so the system worked.
The website itself is just a bit clunky to use, which isn't itself a deal breaker. But there were some minor annoyances that turned into big annoyances because I had to try and connect with a non-existent (or at least non-responsive) customer service team to get resolved.
While general website usability was sub-optimal, the thing that really sucked was this: the owner sent me a discount code to use, but Outdoorsy was running a site-wide discount promotion that was manifested as a discount code. Their system only allows one code to be entered at a time, and there was no way to remove the auto-magically applied site-wide code myself. I tried their chat function multiple times with no success, called them a few times with no success, and when I emailed them it took over 24 hours to get a response, and each response was answered by someone different who basically refused to read the email thread so I had to explain the situation to multiple people, multiple times. Just a massive fail on the part of their customer service team. I finally got someone to call me back, and she was very nice and as helpful as she could be. The did finally resolve the coupon code issue (they had to remove the auto discount and apply the owner-supplied one), but it felt as though she hadn't been given the knowledge or tools to actually help me as she had to put me on hold for a long time and get someone else to help her help me. Again, she was very nice and was able to facilitate getting my issue resolved. But by this point, I'd had enough.
Oh, and even though they FINALLY applied the owner discount code, it was already after my card had been charged. So now they "refunded" me, but it also looks like there's an additional charge in my bank account that is the same amount as my refund, so I don't know what the fuck is going on there. And who even knows if I'll get my security deposit back, I've read horror story Yelp reviews about that as well. And (as if there needs to be an and) the owner of the Sprinter I rented had some other person who wanted to rent it who paid a deposit and then had to cancel (well within the parameters of canceling) and apparently Outdoorsy is being a pain in the ass about getting that whole thing sorted out for them as well.
If I didn't have to contact customer service, the whole ordeal would have been "eh, clunky website with some weirdness, but not so bad I wouldn't use it again." But given their customer experience team is outsourced and shitty, it was overall a terrible experience, will not be using this website again.
Yeah sorta, he's more a friend of friends. He and I mutually agreed that using Outdoorsy would be smart as a layer of protection for both of us, as they provide accident insurance in case something unforeseen happened like we got trampled by a herd of cows or something.
Bills for shoulder dislocation are starting to come in. $120 for cheap cloth sling that can be purchased for $12 on Amazon. Sure I only have to pay $10 of that but someone is making some serious profit margins.
That was the charged price probably. What was the actual insurance reimbursement to the durable medical goods provider?
/me generates $200-400k in charges for the hospital every month, but they certainly don't collect on all of that
Bill shows that my insurance already paid $110, I owe the rest. I assume there is a kickback program that returns most of that back to the insurance company at the end of the year.
You sure you parsed that bill correctly? Usually there'll be an adjustment and then the magic true reimbursement.
I know what you are referring to, but I am not seeing it. And interestingly the bill is coming from a third party, so it looks like UW health system is outsourcing
OK. The $110 is listed as "Paid/Adjusted" I will have to look into my insurance payments to see which it is.
Double fuck the non-transparent over inflated list prices.Fuck all that insurance bullshit/smoke/mirrors/kickback nonsense.
