Bait and switch.

Response from Ex-Stink Plumbing & Sewer
Dear member, This coupon is not a bait and switch tactic and we find it quite insulting that you call it such. Your particular circumstance did not have an outside accessible clean out and therefore you we told before even scheduling your appointment that there is an additional fee. We ask each customer before they book there appointment the same question to ensure that they are well aware of the details of the coupon. This coupon is an exceptional value and is a good way to keep your sewer issues in check on a yearly basis.

Description of Work: I bought the $99.00 deal for Ex stink but was out of their service area. I have not received my refund as of yet. I think that service areas should be clearly stated, so a consumer will know if they are in the providers area.

Response from Ex-Stink Plumbing & Sewer
Dear Member, I am sorry for the confusion that seems to be on our service area. On the Big Deal coupon under the Fine Print section the second bullet point clearly states the following: Service area includes: North Shore, Northwest Cook County and Lake and McHenry County. You are 1 hour and 40 minutes from our office located in Lake county. As for the refund, we are not in charge of issuing them. You must go directly through Angie's List to receive your refund, which would be no problem at all. Sorry once again for the inconvenience and thank you for considering our business.
