Consumers filed a high number of complaints with the BBB® Serving Metro New York about Gecko Custom, an online retailer, after they purchased custom gifts such as coffee mugs, tee shirts, or other items during the prior holiday season. "A dramatic spike in complaints to BBB about a single business in a short period of time is a signal that something is going wrong,” says Claire Rosenzweig, President and CEO of the Metro NY BBB. “When this occurs, we alert shoppers and urge them to think carefully before buying."
