I'm looking for recommendations for a solid dentist in Chicago. Ideally somewhere near the L tracks, though I'm not being picky about the location. What really matters is finding someone who is actually sane, patient, and knows how to fix a tooth properly. I need someone who can handle a cleaning without damaging my enamel—basically, a modern clinic with up-to-date equipment. A semi-private practice works just fine for me. 🙂Thanks in advance for the leads..
hollowsailor33, you’re clearly still a bit worked up, because what you’re responding to isn't even what I wrote. My point was simple: my transactions are perfectly transparent. Sometimes we strike a deal, sometimes we don't, but when we do, everyone knows exactly who is paying what and what service they're getting in return. If that doesn't sit right with you, I honestly don't know what more you could possibly ask for. Anyway, it seems you have a hard time handling an opinion that differs from your own, but this is an online forum—I'd suggest you get used to it. Good luck.
hollowsailor33 said:Has anyone else dealt with this? I once had a customer claim they never received their package, but luckily I had the delivery confirmation slip right there as proof! I’m looking for $5.00 pt, but if the rest is higher than pt, am I stuck covering the difference myself? Something like that.🤷
It’s pretty obvious you actually know the ropes here. This isn't what Angela Flores76 was getting at—we aren't talking about some total novice who hasn't a clue how shipping works...
If you aren't looking for an opinion, why even ask? If you already knew there was a fee for the $5.00, why didn't you just clarify if she would use $5.00? Paying $3.25 seemed perfectly fine at the time, so why attack her the moment things go sideways? Did she actually promise to send it via standard package instead of certified mail? In my view, both parties carry responsibility here, but clearly, you aren't seeking an honest perspective—you're just looking for blind validation. Sorry...
You asked for an opinion, and you got one—the same objective feedback anyone else would have received if they had spoken up. Personally, I can’t stand ambiguity. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't be calling people out just because I failed to do my homework or stayed uninformed, but that’s just how I operate, and not everyone thinks that way. Had you actually asked first, everything would be perfectly clear right now. Instead, you've left both of you in this awkward position. 🙂Maybe she’ll give you a partial refund so everyone walks away happy, though in my view, she isn't actually obligated to do so; it would simply be a gesture of good faith.
You’re both equally at fault here. In my view, if you already knew the recommended fee was around $2.50, you really should have clarified whether she intended to send it via $3.25 standard shipping or as a parcel. She’s responsible because she failed to make that distinction clear. Cheers.
Wait, what? "Postal service rate sheets are provided in PDF format to allow users the option of easy printing." What kind of nonsense is that? It feels like a massive step backward... I don't see any sign that they actually lowered the prices, either.
Has anyone here actually dealt with dentist Francisca? Her rates are pretty steep, and I haven't heard a single thing about her reputation. Does the quality actually live up to that price tag? 🙂
I think we're looking at an average somewhere around $67. Do a quick search online; I'm sure you'll find something nearby. They usually list their rates or an email address, so why not just reach out and ask?
