Door-to-Door Magazine Sales Going Strong in Area
[Fort Wayne, Indiana – August 7, 2009] –Young representatives from Urban Development Solutions, Inc., claiming to be from the Detroit and Toledo, Ohio areas, are going door to door selling magazine subscriptions in our area.
Urban Development Solutions, based out of Grosse Point. Michigan, is listed as a magazine sales company. The BBB report shows an “F” rating, with 190 complaints filed against them in a three-year reporting period. Delivery issues top those complaints at 133, with 39 refund or exchange issues.
“Often, companies such as this are recruiting young people to sell these magazines, but who are unaware of their sales practices,” said Michael Coil, President and CEO of BBB of Northern Indiana. “Our experience is that they are dropped off in unfamiliar neighborhoods and expected to turn over pre-determined sales. In other words, these young people are often doing the ‘out front’ work that the people behind the scenes won’t do themselves. BBB encourages homeowners and businesses to contact us with any information should you receive any solicitation for magazine sales before a commitment to buy is made.”
