Wish there were more specifics on meaning of "good" condition

My experience is that TripAdvisor provides very useful information, and has steered toward terrific sites and opportunities, and away from real losers. I've submitted the most honest and helpful reviews I could, especially featuring places we've really enjoyed in our home town and away. But I'm sure some reviewers are on a vendetta, or have competing businesses (this is the web!), so read reviews carefully and in context.

Costco treats its customers (and, we hear, its employees) very fairly. The products they stock have been carefully assessed, and they stand behind the purchases. The contrast with Walmart on all these matters is stunning.

We have ordered various pieces, including several blankets, from collage.com We have been highly satisfied with every product, as have the people for whom the blankets have been ordered as gifts. Beyond the products themselves, we've had to submit prompt substitutes when we've made foolish errors (e.g., duplicate pictures), and once got into a jam when we couldn't submit a discount certificate on time due to illness. Each time, their responses have been prompt and helpful. Count us a highly satisfied customers!
