BidClerk

Jack over bidclerk has been calling me for several years now and I've always declined signing up. Finally one day I decided to give bidclerk a chance for $400 which provided three months of service.

After the three months I incurred a surprise charge for $400 automatically which I was not aware of and I never agreed to a contract. Literally 10 minutes after they charged me unauthorized I called them and asked them what was going on they said that they will not refund the money and I'm stuck with them for another three months no matter what. First of all their service completely sucks that's why I'm not continuing and second of all I do not like their deceitful business practices.

They just give you the runaround no direct answers. I highly recommend you consider other options.

Used BidClerk for about 5 years, and kept noticing the database was getting further behind than what was actually happening in the market. Wrong contacts, out of date information, stages of projects way behind, etc.

Then they started manipulating the pricing without informing me or my company. Finally had enough, and it took an act of God to cancel my subscription. Then the calls started. I was getting emails and phone calls 3 or 4 times a week wanting me to come back, etc.

It got out of hand, and eventually after many yelling festivals, they backed off. These people are a joke.

Unprofessional, arrogant and rude sales people. BidClerk is a scam, no doubt.

I've been using Bidclerk for 6+ years (business subscription) & in the past 2 years I've noticed that they've become VERY LAZY.

The mistakes started out small & minimal but quickly escalated into false, out of date, incorrect information that cost me more time than anything.

When I first starting Bidclerk I was able to get project information weeks/months ahead of the market (as intended) but as each year came, the cost of my subscription continued to increase and the quality of information dropped dramatically!

Projects weren't being listed ahead of time. I would learn about new projects in our area in the local paper before it was even on Bidclerk.

50% of the projects currently listed on Bidclerk are out of date & haven't been updated in months!

A project listed as 'in the bidding process' is usually already in progress.

It's a waste of time to call GC Bidders on a project only hear that they didn't receive the bid & that project started 3 weeks ago.

BidClerk has completely given up on updating their projects.

They grew too fast & cut too many corners in the process.

Signing agreements with companies like Choice Hotels International as a part of a promotional package has clouded their judgement as well as their performance.

I've reached out to Bidclerk support numerous times to express my concerns because I teach other businesses how to use this site. It's now to the point that I don't even want to teach others about a half-*** website that won't really help anyone & will only deprive them of hours of searching & calling on businesses about projects that are already underway or were cancelled months ago.

If I had one recommendation: Try a free trial period but make sure you don't get billed in advance because they will try to bill you!

If you're a small business owner, spend your time & money somewhere else!

Bidclerk is NOT what it used to be & unfortunately it will never recover.

I have been a client of theirs for 1 year. At first I started with $154 dollars.

The past two months I am now at 194.00. They just merged with isqft and CDC and a few others, and are now calling their pricing competitive. Its a joke if you ask me. I paid for it because it was cheap but nothing put typos and inaccuracy from my end.

I am a small company and I cannot afford $900 per month for ONE state.

Right now I have VA, SC, NC and MD and I don't pay that much for one. ITs just ridiculous

My salesman, Chris Sirhall jumped my subscription price tenfold. When questioned he said that I was getting great pricing and nobody should have ever given it to me.

With that being said, he had no explanation as to why it would or should go up so much, other than the fact that it is a good product when compared to its competitors.

I asked if I did a "secret shop" would I get better pricing and I was told that they didn't know because that was a different department. I would be very careful as to how much you pay for this service to make sure you aren't getting ripped off.

We recently just canceled our Bidclerk subscription. We bid on 3 jobs, the first was listed on Bidclerk as a $375,000 job the winning bid was $175,000.

The last job we bid on there was listed less than $1,000,000 and it went at $10,000,000. We didn't land a single job in 3 months. We were looking for private jobs and they only really have public jobs available which you can find elsewhere and dont have to pay their monthly fee.

Also they let you know about jobs so late you don't really have the time to bid on them. Do not use Bidclerk they are not worth your time or your money.

I have subscribed with bidclerk for last 12 months, at the beginning, I was told my contract was month to month basis, last month they renew my contract with out me knowing and started to charge me more for one service that is worthless, had this service hoping I could get some work, but their contacts never answer phones or emails,it is only good for others to contact you to sell you merchandise you do not need. Bottom line Bidclerk is a rip off do not let them get you.Paid a whole year and never got any work from their site.And be overcareful they are going to sign you up without you know into a year contract, and if try to get off they are going to charge for that.
