Have you ever paid for something online only to not receive it? I have, and if it weren\u2019t for a quick turn-around, I would have ended up resenting the company.<\/p>\n

I ordered forty superior folding chairs last month, but upon delivery I realized I had 36 chairs and one dog crate. Yes, nine boxes of chairs and one dog crate.<\/p>\n

I could see it now at the fulfillment warehouse, as they prepared my order for shipping: \u201c\u20267,\u20268,…9 boxes of chairs, and one\u2026.. dog crate! One dog crate!?!?!…and 36 chairs? What is this, some sort of dog show?\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, because Amazon is so great, and the missing box easily replaced, we ended up getting our chairs the same week.  By the way, and If you don\u2019t know already, with the ease of clicking a button, you can notify Amazon the wrong item was shipped, and they will schedule a pick up \u2013 no label required \u2013 and redeliver with no extra charge.<\/i><\/p>\n

Though NumberBarn doesn\u2019t ship items, we believe in a similar guarantee: you shouldn\u2019t pay for service you don\u2019t receive. <\/strong><\/p>\n

So, from the beginning, we\u2019ve stood behind our porting guarantee: \u201cif your number doesn\u2019t port to NumberBarn, you don\u2019t pay a dime.\u201d That\u2019s right, NumberBarn does not charge you until your transfer has completed, and you have full use of our features.<\/p>\n

NumberBarn was started with the customer in mind. We wanted to develop a straightforward, simplified, state-of-the-art Number-management company that included a transfer guarantee. We believe customers should get what they pay for, shouldn\u2019t have to wrestle with chargebacks, shady companies, and billing arguments.<\/p>\n

If it doesn\u2019t port, you don\u2019t pay!<\/h2>\n

NumberBarn works tirelessly on your behalf to transfer your number. We\u2019ve worked hard to automate and streamline the process so it can almost be as seamless as big wireless providers, and we take on the front-end risk so you don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n

We firmly believe customers shouldn\u2019t pay for service until your number has ported, and that has helped NumberBarn become the number one, number management company online – helping friends port, park, find, and forward<\/i><\/b> numbers from across the nation.<\/p>\n

We invite you to become number smart today, with our number portability guarantee, at www.numberbarn.com<\/a>. After all, what do you have to lose, if it doesn\u2019t port, you don\u2019t pay anyways.<\/b><\/p>\n

We\u2019re NumberBarn<\/a>, we take phone numbers very seriously. But, we also like to have a little fun. To learn more about us, visit NumberBarn.com<\/a> and follow us on Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
