After reading instructions I personally understood that it seems if you file a complaint about a company or business it would be investigated but I also was left feeling like if you did file a complaint it would just be put on their record for a short amount of time or not at all if they responded with Correct wording (meaning if they could show they attempted to rectify the issue,attempted is vague at best meaning as little as responding with how can we assist You with helping us understanding the issue)to Satisfy BBB. The better the Company/Business they will go above and beyond not to have any

GalaxyMall.com which advertise on Facebook is a fraud. I made an order online and they confirmed and promised delivery in 14 to 21 days. That's pretty much the extent of their actions. I did receive a tracking number which was bogus.

Very bad service at this company. Contracted with them to setup a DBA for me. Sent documents completed documents by Express Mail. USPS said it was delivered on time, they claim they did not receive for 5 days. Cancelled my order and requested my money back. Someone from Cancellation department will contact me in 48 business hours to process.
