              Billing Issues
              Status:
              Resolved
              We entered into an agreement for shredding services. When I realized that we were eligible for Omnia pricing, which was significantly less expensive, I requested that we be moved to that pricing platform. After several months of negligence on the vendors part, we still were being charged for the higher price service. When it was finally moved to the correct pricing, I requested that they bill us accordingly back to the date of my first request for Omnia pricing. While some small adjustments were made, under the Omnia pricing agreement, we would have only been billed per pick up every 8 weeks. Instead we had 4 monthly invoices despite only having two pick **** I requested that they adjust the bills again and was told this would not happen. After having no response to my last email at all, including confirmation that our account had been removed from collections, which happened during the time I was trying to work with them to adjust the invoices and agreement.

              Shred-It is the worst customer service I've experienced in my entire career. Their staff's only response to any issue is that all they can do is submit a ticket...even when you advise them that there already have submitted several tickets, they are like robots and can only state that they will submit another ticket to escalate your issue. However, no one ever reaches out to resolve the issue or completes any of the tickets. I would not recommend doing business with them as they charge for services, which they do not render.
