We do. In fact I checked out a plumber yesterday. He wasn't a San Diego County BBB member, but his ad said he was, I found him in Hemet, out in the desert . Now, he's in Fallbrook. So, I don't trust the guy, cross him off. We had a contractor as a member, he was good, expensive. I heard it's $400/yr to join. So I guess I look them up to see if they're lying about it. There's no work out in Hemet, so he's advertising down here, but I don't want to pay a guy to drive from Fallbrook, which is like…

<p>as to your question, i think seeing a badge from the BBB does somehow put a customer's mind at ease that you're a decent merchant. it shouldn't, but i think it does. do i know anyone who checks out businesses with the BBB or who would? nope. i think my grandma did. but she was of a bygone generation. i like to rely on merchant ratings on sites like ebay, or the power or an iron-clad return policy like Zappos.com or LL Bean offers, or just confidence that i get from the size and prestige of a merchant, like Amazon.com.</p>
