New Home Media, Lorton, VA, Sucks Monkey Balls.....

Ok, so I didn't update this post that weekend... but I'm doing it now.

New Home Media approached me like 2 years ago, and wanted to put a sign in my yard advertising the new homes being built in the back of my neighborhood...

My kid needed braces, so I figured they could pay them. But little did I know the hassles and headaches I would have to endure over it.

I should have known to cancel the deal when the 4' x 5' sign we agreed upon, showed up and was 7' tall. It was taller than the street sign I have in my yard. I told Pedro and Jose (I'm assuming that was their names) to cut a couple feet off of the posts. They made a phone call, habla'd in espanol for a few minutes, then produced a hacksaw and trimmed it down to height.

Little did I know, that the nightmare was just beginning.....

The sign was put up in July of 2007. They prepaid for 3 months, so the next payment was due in October. Well November rolls around, and no payment. I soon find out this is typical for NewHomeMedia. They never pay on time, and you have to constantly email them to collect.

Here are a few of the email trails:

I overnighted the payment on 6/5 but I just found out UPS is holding package
saying we have the wrong address. I have an address of

[ADDRESS]

I think that is the address we have always used but is that correct?

That's just a few of the emails.

So Last month, I emailed looking for payment, and after 2 1/2 weeks and 3 emails, never got a reply. So I CC'd the builder as well, and demanded a reply.

The builder replied - New Home Media still did not.

I told the builder that New Home Media was a bunch of jokers and thats why I cc'd him. I also cc'd NewHomeMedia on that email. And SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE..... they replied... quite pissed off too I must add. Chuck is a total douche and the company sucks major monkey balls.

So guess what.

Yesterday Jose and Pedro came and took the sign away.

Hahaha!! They took their ball and went home.... boo fucking hoo New Home Media.... you already paid for my kids braces which he got off last month, so take your shitty ass sign and go home, no one cares!

You did leave two big ass divits in my yard and according to our agreement, you have to fix it to MY liking.... I think I'll send you another email today and ask where to send the landscaping plans.... fuckers!

New Home Media sucks Monkey balls!
