The Saga of JD Hawkeye Tree Cutting concludes: When a refund's not a refund

This post wraps up the issues raised in JD Hawkeye Tree Cutting punished by province, customer complaints and A deal is a deal? Dealfind for JD Hawkeye Tree Cutting goes bad.

Well, I got a refund of sorts.

No, Dealfind Halifax did not give me my money back.

Here's what Dealfind said after learning the details of my case (emphasis mine):

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. This is not the standard we accept from companies that we run deals with. We do go through great lengths to ensure that our vendors are reputable and provide our customers with excellent service. You can continue to rely on us to find you great deals.

Dealfind proudly offers a full refund for unused vouchers within the period outlined in our refund policy (http://www.dealfind.com/refund-policy.php). We generally do not offer refunds after this period, with the exception of a business closure, in which case we provide Dealfind Dollars for the price paid for the voucher.

While your voucher has exceeded the refund period, we understand that you have not been able to redeem your voucher. As a result, we have gone ahead and applied the Dealfind Dollars for the price you paid to the Dealfind account you used to make the purchase. These are available for use immediately and can be used towards any of our great deals as there is no expiry date!
The Dealfind policy says I'm entitled to a cash refund "up to 30 days from the first day your voucher is valid."

Given that I couldn't even get Daniel from JD Hawkeye to come out to do the job until THIS YEAR, that's offensive to me.

So, after a complaint about my difficult experience with DealFind, DealFind says I'm welcome to spend my money with DealFind instead of using it to pay someone else to do the job I originally spent the money on. In other words, I spend $99 to get my tree trimmed. DealFind is keeping that money for now, and I have to find someone else to trim my tree.

As for Daniel at JD Hawkeye -- he's still out there spamming Kijiji with ads now featuring two phone numbers: 902-981-5651 and 902-219-7938. He's now operating as "SUNRISE TILL SUNSET" Tree Cutting and "DUST TILL DAWN"

Today was my last day at work, and I'm okay with that

Today marks a weird spot on the calendar for me. It’s one of those landmarks that really doesn’t mean anything, other than to illustrate the weirdness of time and how we feel it. As of today, my son Gordon has been without his mother longer than he was with her. The length of time Amanda has been gone is now longer than the length of time we were a family of three. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long, but that dangblasted calendar tells me it’s almost three years. I have not said a word about it to G, but tonight, for the first time in a long time, he pulled out the Missing Mummy book for bedtime. Today was my last day in broadcasting for a while, as far as I can tell. I spent the past five years as Program Director at Newstalk 1290 CJBK in London, Ontario. And in recent years, I was also the noon-hour show host, afternoon news anchor, a commercial voice guy, TV news promo voice guy, and more. Also in the past five years, I’ve bought a house, endured renovation

A request, as we reach two years

Wow, long time no write. I didn't enjoy this past winter. I was certainly in a long slump. Things were very challenging at work. Gordon was awesome, as always, but I was just in a sustained funk from last summer on. And I'm not sure I'm all the way out of it yet. I'm still largely in quiet hermit mode, but have been making progress at resuming social contact. Little dude and I have a very busy summer that will go by in a flash. This Thursday will mark two years since Amanda died. I still replay the events of that night in my head almost every day. I'd like to not. Sometimes it feels like forever ago, but sometimes I'm right there all over again. Hey, can I ask for your help with something? Two years ago, so many wonderful people told me that if there was anything they could do to help .... Well, I don't ask often. And I should've asked more. And I should ask more even now. I'm still not comfortable asking. But I'm asking for this. I put

Hard to believe it's been a year - but it has

One year ago today, we lost Amanda. Time plays tricks on all of us. We can think "that was so long ago" at the same time as "it feels like yesterday." I run into this all the time with Amanda's death. Yes, it feels like just yesterday, or last night, or later today, that Amanda collapsed in the kitchen and died after that long, brutal battle with ovarian cancer. But every day has ticked by at a pace like any other, and it's been a whole year of those days, with incremental and sometimes revolutionary change. As I move about our home, it's hard to fathom that she's been gone a whole year. Amanda's garden awakens, early Spring 2017. Many of the decorative items she carefully arranged throughout the house are in the exact same place as the last time she touched them. She had the vision, not me, so I've been reluctant to disturb her decisions on what looks good and works. In other places, I'm reminded that it's been at least
