All BBBOnLine Reliability participants are Better Business Bureau members.

However, it is important for you to remember that a business's participation in BBBOnLine does not guarantee you will be satisfied with its product or service. While BBBOnLine participants have satisfactory complaint handling records with Better Business Bureaus, this does not mean that they have never experienced complaints, nor is it a guarantee that they won't in the future.

Better Business Bureaus do not endorse any company, product or service and participation in a Better Business Bureau program is not a guarantee by the Better Business Bureau of the company's performance. BBBOnLine participants have agreed to meet our program standards, including resolving customer disputes through Better Business Bureau dispute resolution processes, which have a proven consumer-friendly track record.
