Whose Side is the BBB on?
While the BBB is known as a respectable source for providing consumers with accurate information on accredited companies, many critics as well as consumers still question where its loyalty lies; is it with the buyers, or the sellers? As a proud member of the Better Business Bureau, Nationwide Relocation Services feels that the Better Business Bureau is fair to all parties. Before we were accredited members of the BBB, we believed them to be fair and just in all their deliberations.
Nationwide Relocation Services considers all 128 Better Business Bureaus in the United States, including Canada, represent evenhanded sources of information on the credibility of local businesses and charitable trusts. The principal effort of the BBB is to make information accessible to consumers about businesses in their communities. prospective customers can discover which companies react promptly and suitably to consumer complaints, what businesses have a history of disregarding or ill-treating customers, and who has established BBB accreditation.
