"Better Business Bureau" and "BBB" are registered service marks of the Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc. We are not members of the Better Business Bureau and by the use of "Better Business Bureau" or "BBB" herein we do not intend to suggest or imply any affiliation with or endorsement by any Better Business Bureau.

How long have you been in business? Yes, we're very real! Our company was founded several years ago in 1996, in San Antonio, Texas, with the innovative idea of being the first completely trustworthy, scam-free work at home company in history. By delivering the best work at home solution in the United States, we have grown very rapidly and have acquired an excellent reputation. We are the only work at home company we've ever seen that has received widespread national media attention and we feel that we are still the only truly scam-free work at home company in the U.S. While many other "work at home" companies have a reputation for being flighty, dishonest and unreliable, you'll find that our company is the complete opposite. We are very stable, extremely trustworthy, and a "real" business in every way. We have a real business telephone number which is listed in directory assistance. We are registered to do business, like all other legitimate businesses, in accordance with all state and local requirements. We believe in sponsoring very clear and accurate advertising and we have equally clear and fair consumer-friendly policies which we follow to the letter. We feel we have good relationships with all consumer agencies and we are members of our the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce. We're the most honest work at home company you could ever hope to deal with and we are an excellent company to be employed by. We function in every way just like any other great company you might want to do business with! Find out more about what the media has reported about us. Personal note: We realize that many consumers are cautious when considering doing business with any work at home company. By providing volumes and volumes of important information about our company and our products we are trying to be as supportive, clear and transparent to you as we possibly can so that you can make a positive business decision that benefits you. Without mutual respect and trust, we believe that a positive business relationship won't be possible for either one of us and in that type of situation, we prefer to not do business together at all than to do so without having your complete confidence. Please don't order our service until you feel completely comfortable doing business with us and you feel you understand our service completely.
How do I know you're different from other work at home companies? Our company is not like any other work at home company you've ever seen before! It is unfortunate that you've had bad experiences in the past. We hope that when you read our website and check into our company more, you will see we are completely different than any other work at home company you've ever seen before! Dealing with our company is like dealing with any other reputable company... your local grocery store, stores in the mall, your local dry cleaner. You can expect to be treated in the same manner as any of these companies would treat you as their customer. We encourage you to read our website thoroughly and get to know us. Please don't order our service until you feel completely comfortable about doing business with us.
Are you members of the Better Business Bureau®? We are very proud of our business reputation! Our company is the only work at home company that has been checked out and recommended positively in the media... many times! Lifetime Television, FORTUNE Magazine and the Wall Street Journal are just some of the many organizations that have recommnended us to millions of people as a scam-free work at home job source! Other media organizations that recommended us include the San Antonio Express-News, (our hometown paper) The West Sound Sun, The Patriot-Ledger, The Beacon, The Iowa Quad-City Times, the New Haven Register, the Birmingham Post-Herald and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Read more about our Media Coverage here! Please Note: Our local Better Business Bureau® is the San Antonio Better Business Bure®au which is operated by the Better Business Bureau of Central and South Central Texas based in Austin, Texas. When we say "Better Business Bureau®" in this information we're referring specifically and exclusively to the San Antonio Better Business Bureau®. A quick education about the Better Business Bureau® and their reporting: The following information may be helpful to you in understanding our Better Business Bureau® report. Most consumers believe that companies who are members of the Better Business Bureau® are members because the Better Business Bureau® has checked them out and approved them for membership because they're honest, legitimate companies. But that's not necessarily true. It doesn't necessarily take a good business reputation or good customer service to become a member of the Better Business Bureau®, but rather cold, hard cash! In addition to meeting and agreeing to standard membership requirements and being accepted by the Better Business Bureau® as members, companies pay large sums of money in membership fees every year to remain members and receive certain benefits. One of these benefits is that the Better Business Bureau®, will give you and other consumers the potentially false impression that Better Business Bureau® members are reputable companies and/or that they are more reputable than companies that don't pay fees for membership. At the Better Business Bureau®, the ability to deceive consumers is for sale. Consumers believe that Better Business Bureau® members are members because they're good companies. Actually, they are members because they wrote a big check and agreed to abide by Better Business Bureau® rules of membership. Another benefit of membership at the Better Business Bureau® is that the Better Business Bureau® will help 'mediate' problems between members and their customers. But if these companies are so reputable and so upstanding, why would they need help mediating problems with their customers? The Better Business Bureau® makes it a point to let you know that they don't even endorse their own members. If they don't endorse their members, why should you? Consumers also mistakenly believe that the Better Business Bureau® is there to represent their interests, the interests of consumers. But that's not necessarily true, either. Without the funding of its members, the companies, not consumers, the Better Business Bureau® would be out of business. They are a business organization serving the interests of their business members, not a consumer organization, regardless of the impressions you've been given, and your well-being as a consumer may not be quite as urgent to the Better Business Bureau® as you may believe. Some Better Business Bureaus® function very similiarly to any other business, except that they don't have to pay federal income taxes like the rest of us. There is a management person whose salary is often the largest expense of the Better Business Bureau®, a small clerical or administrative staff to handle complaints and other administrative matters, and sales people who may be paid on commission to sell-sell-sell as many memberships as possible. As far as we know, most salespeople know little or nothing about a company's actual business practices when they invite them to apply for membership at the Better Business Bureau® and the Better Business Bureau® seems to have very loose membership requirements. Our company has always believed that if we make sure our advertising is accurate and clearly portrays our service, if we deliver exactly what we advertise and we deliver it on time like we promised, and if we make it easy for our customers to contact us and get honest help for any type of question or issue they may have, then we would not need the help of an outside agency to help us 'mediate' problems with our customers. For this reason and others we have never applied for membership with the Better Business Bureau® and we are not members. Although we've never applied for membership in the Better Business Bureau® we value our relationship with them and have always cooperated with them in every way possible. The Better Business Bureau® reports on members and non-members, but we have found they do not do so equally. Consumers should know that good, honest companies, like ours, that voluntarily subscribe to the business principles set forth by the Better Business Bureau® are NOT welcome as members until they pay large annual fees for membership. Don't be misled by Better Business Bureau® reports. The Better Business Bureau® provides a helpful service to consumers but some believe that it would be easier for them to give consumers the helpful and objective information they expect if most of their revenue was not received from their members, including the businesses they report on. While most consumers believe the reports are truthful, accurate and unbiased, we have found that our report, as a non-dues-paying company, frequently appears far more negative than reports published on companies that pay large annual fees to the Better Business Bureau®. The Better Business Bureau® has stated to us that companies do not have to pay money to receive a favorable report, but we have not found this to be the case. We've found that most dues-paying members, for example, don't have false and/or outdated 'dba' ('doing-business-as') names in their reports or derogatory remarks about their mailing address like we do. There are also outdated “warnings” that are not relevant to our company. We have contacted the Better Business Bureau® about updating and correcting our report several times, but even when contacted by certified mail, we don't receive a response. We have asked the Better Business Bureau® for information about the standards and procedures it uses to compile the information that consumers rely so heavily upon to make informed buying decisions, but so far they have chosen not to provide the information. We have also asked if, in addition to publishing misleading negative information about us, they would be willing to publish factual positive information, such as validation of our past media coverage once we provided original copies to them as evidence. We made this request because we felt that publishing this information would greatly help consumers that are considering using our service. Although we believe this would provide a valuable service and protect consumers from work at home internet scam sites, the Better Business Bureau® has not yet responded to our request. It's been about two years since we first asked. In the meantime, it appears to be impossible to get an accurate, objective or and/or positive report from the Better Business Bureau® unless you're willing to fork over the big bucks. Consumers, unfortunately, are the real victims because they continue to believe that Better Business Bureau® members are somehow better, even though they may only be better at writing checks. There are other website(s) on the internet that provide information about Better Business Bureau®s, including stories of consumers who were victimized after trusting Better Business Bureau® members. If this is of interest to you you may want to look up those websites. Questions or comments about our BBB® report? We'd like to hear them! Please take the time to email us. About our "Use of a Mail Drop...". "Information furnished to the Bureau indicates that this is a work-at-home company and that their address appears to be a mail drop. The company's address appears to be a mail receiving and forwarding service. The actual location of the company is not known to the Better Business Bureau." We welcome our friends at the Better Business Bureau® to join us in the 21st century and discover that in these modern times, hundreds of thousands of businesses in America, including members of the Better Business Bureau®, use post office boxes and private mail boxes to receive their mail. Thanks to modern technology, many of these businesses are home-based and the use of a mailing service provides critical efficiency and security. Such use of private mail boxes is perfectly legal and legitimate and all of us have known many fine, reputable businesses, from our bank to our insurance agent, who use similiar services. It's hard to find a bank or credit card company, for example, that doesn't use such a service. Even the IRS uses post office boxes! And our use of this type of service helps us do what we believe in: work at home and help mommies and daddies stay home with their kids. It is very unfortunate that the Better Business Bureau® finds it necessary to place this information in our report as if it's a negative thing, a way to frighten our customers away because our address is "not known". Actually, our mail service is more reliable than the Better Business Bureau®'s itself, whose certified mail in April, 2004, was returned to us marked "UNCLAIMED" by the postal service after three failed attempts to deliver it to their office. We use a mailing service because we all WORK AT HOME and we don't have an office. If this gives you serious misgivings about our company, it's okay. We won't apologize for letting our people work at home and for living what we preach. In these modern times millions of Americans work at home legitimately and the use of secure, private mail boxes is increasing. Our modern work at home business model means that kids have more time with their parents and parents have a more fulfilling, less stressful lifestyle. As a company we can get more done in less time and can give you better service. Neighborhoods are safer, communities are better and there are fewer cars on the road creating less damage to our environment. We are disappointed that the Better Business Bureau® is unwilling to join us in the 21st century and still considers our use of a "mail receiving and forwarding service", which makes all these wonderful benefits possible, a bad thing. We think it's a GOOD thing. Let us know how you feel. About the name of our company and that long list of other "doing business as" names... The name of our company is Abili-Staff, Ltd., a Texas Limited Partnership, and that's the ONLY name we do business as. That's been true for several years now. Apparently the standard of accuracy that the Better Business Bureau® has for the information it distributes is very low. It appears that if someone contacted the Better Business Bureau® using the name "Billy Bob's BBQ Style Work at Home Company", the following week "Billy Bob's BBQ Style Work at Home Company" would appear on our report as another name that we are allegedly doing business as. The Better Business Bureau® has been informed several times by certified mail that the long list of "doing business as" names on our report is false; the names either never existed or are up to ten years out of date and therefore misleading to you. Unfortunately so far, their version of "fair and ethical business practices" is to completely ignore most or all of our letters and continue publishing false information anyway. We can't change that, but at least we can let you know the truth... that the ONE name of our company is "Abili-Staff, Ltd.". About Complaints... Our company is committed to working hard to make sure that our advertising is 100% truthful, that we deliver orders to our customers with 99.9% accuracy by the time promised, and that we provide some of the best customer service on the internet.. Contacting us is as easy as clicking, 24 hours a day, and when you do contact us, whatever issue you're contacting us about will receive careful, personalized, considerate attention by someone who works at home and cares about helping our customers. We also provide handy tools that can solve most customer questions or issues immediately, very easily and at your convenience, 24 hours a day. But like any successful business, we've been in business for many years and have serviced thousands and thousands of customers amd despite our best effort, like the song goes, we haven't been able to please everybody all of the time. Every once in a while we'll get a complaint from someone with a genuine question or issue, but most of our complaints simply have no basis in fact, while others were filed in error or by people who never even ordered from our company, or were filed by people who were angry because we wouldn't accept their credit card for security reasons. Sometimes when people aren't able to receive their emails for whatever reason they mistakenly assume we're not responding to them, even though we are. We answer 100% of all emails, often the same day or even within minutes of receiving an email. Unfortunately, some college email addresses and Hotmail email addresses are quite well-known for not delivering emails reliably. The number of customers who have filed reports on our company is remarkably miniscule and represents a tiny, tiny percentage of thousands and thousands of customers. Our records greatly disagree with the number of complaints the Better Business Bureau® has on our report. We have asked, numerous times, by certified mail which complaints are part of our "Reliability Report" and what standards are used, but our letters go unanswered. Apparently a complaint does not need to be truthful or have any basis in fact in order to become part of a non-dues-paying company's record. Since we started in business in 1996 we have answered every single complaint we've ever received and we'll continue to do so, but if you have a question or issue concerning our company, please go ahead and contact us first. You'll find that any question or issue can be resolved very easily by simply contacting any one of our happy, work at home Customer Service Representatives by clicking on "Contact Us" from almost any page of our website. We have always endeavored to treat our customers so fairly that there wouldn't be the need to seek the help of a third party, such as the Better Business Bureau®, to help us mediate problems with our customers. For this reason and others, we have never applied for membership with the Better Business Bureau® and we are not members of the Better Business Bureau®. The Better Business Bureau® reports on members and non-members alike although we believe they do not report on them equally. Even though we're not members of the Better Business Bureau®, you're welcome to contact them for a report on us if you haven't already. We'd provide you with a link, but for unknown reason(s), the Better Business Bureau® doesn't allow it. "Better Business Bureau" and "BBB" are registered service marks of the Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc. We are not members of the Better Business Bureau and by the use of "Better Business Bureau" or "BBB" herein we do not intend to suggest or imply any affiliation with or endorsement by any Better Business Bureau.

What's the name of your company? What's your address? The name of our company is Abili-Staff, Ltd.. We're a Texas Limited Partnership based in San Antonio, Texas. Our mailing address is: This address is not a public office... our entire company enjoys being able to work at home! Therefore we have no public office. If you're requesting our address so you can mail in an order, please remember that check orders are delayed about three weeks (plus mail time) before they're processed. You can save approximately three weeks off the processing time of your order by mailing a money order instead of a check.

Customers tells us our customer service is out of this world compared to other "work at home companies".

Our company's main telephone number is listed with directory assistance, of course, but since we are better able to provide service for online memberships online, we encourage you to use that method for contacting us and letting us provide you with the fast, efficient and helpful customer service that you need.

At Jobsformoms.com you can count of top quality customer service from the beginning to the end of your entire consumer experience with our company!
I know you publish lists of companies who hire people to work at home. Does your company hire people to work at home, too? You bet! Our company is one of the few companies in the entire U.S. whose business model calls for an entirely home-based labor force!
How do I know I can trust you? If we charged one dollar every time someone asked us this question we'd be able to give our work at home information away free! We understand your concerns and respect your right to feel comfortable with our company before you do business with us. We hope that our website is helpful to you in answering your questions. Our company is totally unique among work at home companies. We believe that our company is the most trustworthy work at home company in the U.S. The fact that you're asking this question may indicate that you may not have had the chance to get to know us well enough yet. When you're exploring the issue of trust, the bottom line really becomes whether or not we will deliver what we promised to you in our advertising. Was our company really featured in the media as we said we were? Do we really post the high quality jobs that we advertise? Do we really have that many scam-free work at home job listings available at our website as we advertise? Are we really going to stand behind our product? Can you really get customer service if you need it? If you become our customer, you will find that the answer to all of these questions is YES, and you may find for the first time in your life that a "work at home" company really can be just as trustworthy as your best friend. (Maybe not as much fun, but as trustworthy.) We encourage you to read our website very thoroughly and we hope that after getting to know us you will feel very comfortable trusting and doing business with our company. Please don't buy our products or services until you feel totally comfortable. We realize that we may not be able to convince everyone. If you never feel comfortable dealing with us, we understand.
How can I check you out with the Better Business Bureau®? We would like to provide a link to the BBB®'s website but the Better Business Bureau® doesn't allow links to them. The Better Business Bureau® compiles reports on members and non-members of the Better Business Bureau® and is solely responsible for the information it distributes. If you have concerns about doing business with our company we encourage you to check us out until you feel comfortable! We're proud of our record and if you want to check us out at the Better Business Bureau®'s website, please enter the abbreviated name of our company: Abili-Staff. Although everyone who works for our company works at home, our company is based in San Antonio, TX. (You will need that information to search for our report at the BBB®'s website.) Our report typically reflects that any complaints they have received in the past three years have been resolved. If you find a report other than this, please email us. "Better Business Bureau" and "BBB" are registered service marks of the Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc. We are not members of the Better Business Bureau and by the use of "Better Business Bureau" or "BBB" herein we do not intend to suggest or imply any affiliation with or endorsement by any Better Business Bureau. To determine whether a company is a member of a Better Business Bureau, you should contact the Better Business Bureau serving the area closest to which the particular business is located.
How do I know you can find me a great work at home job? Our website publishes the best work at home jobs on the internet! Every single listing is pre-screened and believed to be scam-free before we post it at our site and we have HUNDREDS of great work at home job listings for you to browse at your convenience. Our listings also include listings that don't require any money from you to get started, and even jobs that don't require any previous experience. If you have access to the internet, mail service and/or telephone and you are serious about wanting to work at home, there is absolutely no reason why you can not get a great work at home using our information!
You say you've been featured in the media. How do I know that's true? We realize that it's difficult for some of the most cynical people to believe that we're really as good as we seem to be. Even consumer agencies find it difficult to imagine that there could be a legitimate work at home company out there. But we proved it was possible in 1996! Unfortunately, we can't come to your house and play you the video of the feature of our company that aired on Lifetime TV several times. (But if you're a good cook and include dessert we'll think about making the trip!) We can't sit beside you on your sofa and proudly show you how FORTUNE Magazine was so pleased with our service after becoming a member and checking it out that they featured us in their 70th Anniversary edition. We also can't come walking through your door carrying a whole armful of all the heavy newspapers that have featured our company in their pages, newspapers like the Birmingham TIMES HERALD, the NEW HAVEN REGISTER, the Bremerton SUN and others. We have tried to post tons of information and specific references to these media events at our website and we promise we're telling you the truth. Short of showing up at your house with chips, soda, videos and printed editions of our achievements, we can't think of any way to prove it to you. If you still can't believe what we're telling you at our website, maybe doing business together just wasn't meant to be. We still wish you all the best.
If I do business with your company, are you going to sell my name and address to work at home scams all over the U.S. like other work at home companies have done to me? No! It's true that almost every other work at home company in America seems to share or sell mailing lists of its customers. We've had some customers tell us that they started receiving HUNDREDS of pieces of scam mail in their mail box after checking out a couple work at home companies. But again, our company is totally different. Our company advocates human privacy and has a very friendly, very private Privacy Policy. Since beginning in 1996 we have never sold, shared or exchanged private customer information, such as name and address, with any other party. We may be the only work at home company with this policy. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
What employment opportunities are available with your company? Our company is one of the few companies in the entire U.S. whose business model calls for an entirely home-based labor force!
