Why does Nuvia Water have BBB complaints if it is A-rated?
The Better Business Bureau rates Nuvia Water an A and first accredited it in September 2012. Most complaints on file are about one direct-mail postcard, a design chosen by Nuvia's former marketing team. Nuvia has since changed that mailer. A BBB rating weighs more than the number of complaints: it also looks at how a business answers them, its time in business and its licensing.
