We Americans are possessed with the almighty dollar and will do anything to pursue it. Including charge good people an arm and a leg to keep our pets (and humans, really) safe and healthy.

I love Petcaresupplies.com Our doctor recommended Bravecto which would've been $60+ per pill. With sale prices we can get it here for around $13-$17. I just bought a 3 month supply of revolution and 6 capstar pills for just over $50, which here in the states would cost me hundreds.

I am so grateful this is an option. We have been on a tight budget and our pets would literally be suffering without it.

Products used:
Bravecto in the past. I've ordered at least three times before. I currently have capstar and revolution on the way.

Purchased a VERY last minute gift for my dad. I was able to use a free shipping code but still pay the additional $9 for overnight shipping - I thought that was cool. The shirts I bought were really nice, pretty much what I expected. Prices were reasonable. (Both on sale.) However - the women's 2XL shirt I bought for myself FITS MY TEN YEAR OLD! It was a sale item so I'm not going to bother sending it back.

Tip for consumers:
Beware if you're ordering women's sizes - they are Juniors sizes, not full grown women. They run VERY small.

Products used:
One Men's t-shirt.

I have full respect for what they do. But if I'm going to pay $30 for t-shirt I'd rather buy a high quality shirt and send $30 to the charity of my choice instead.

I was DYING for the "Pimpin' Joy" camo shirt that the Bobby Bones Show promotes to fund their charities. The shirt came and went on the website so quickly I couldn't get one. Finally they became available again recently and I snagged one. I was really kind of nauseous about spending $30 on a t-shirt, but I kept reminding myself the money goes to a good cause, so just let it go.

It arrived yesterday (quick shipping, only a few business days after ordering, during the holiday season, so that's good.) It IS buttery soft. But it's completely see through. And I ordered a men's. I'm used to women's clothing being ridiculously thin for some reason, but men's shirts are usually heftier.

So, I guess I'll get as much wear out of it as I can, wash it gently with other soft clothing with no snaps or buttons, and just hope for the best. And in the future I'll just donate to charity directly.

**Note in the picture I'm simply holding the shirt up, not stretching it at all.

Tip for consumers:
Items are thin, quality is sketchy. But proceeds go to a good cause.

I don't even know where to start with this review. I think anyone who's paying attention would see there are cheaper and easier places to shop, but clearly people simply shop for convenience these days. Not to mention they're building a complete Monopoly and yet paying zero federal taxes. In my opinion Amazon is everything that's wrong with our culture. We don't typically shop there anyway but were recently gifted an item from a prime member. This experience has been a catastrophe from start to finish:

- First, the price jumped $9 from the time I found the item to the time they were ordered, which was about 24 hours.
- item arrived and sizing was completely off.
- This was a gift, yet I was told exchanges are not allowed unless the item is defective and you're exchanging for the EXACT same size, color, etc. So they would send a return label then send a gift card once the item was received.
- item shipped back quickly and the card was sent to my email... for the cheaper price of the item, NOT the price that was paid for it.
- I emailed customer service, who said "well, send us the original order number and we'll look into it." (Obviously I'd provided the original number when I requested the return. But, fine, I'll play their games. At this point I've already decided I won't be doing business with them ever again. I'm just trying to get through it to get my son his birthday gift!)
- I did a customer service chat, and was told sure they'd send the remaining balance, although they had actually charged us (the gift recipient) for return shipping and subtracted it from the value of the gift! Unbelievable.
- We just realized they sent the shipping fee to the original sender, so my son is still short $9 on the value of his gift. The prime member who sent the gift suggested we just send her the gift card number and she'll reorder the correct size. This is far too many hoops to jump through to send or receive a simple gift. We will not be doing business with them again.

I've been a member for heaven knows how long. Answer every one of their emails within 24 hours, at the most, and I've never been chosen to receive a sample or write a review. Not sure what it takes and not sure what the point is. Seems like a waste of time, but I hang in there hoping I'll eventually get a shot.

I love thrift shopping. I've tried ThredUp a few times and, while the items I purchased were fine, I feel like their prices are a little higher than I tend to pay. In short: As long as you get what you want and everything fits, it's an excellent place to spend your money. If you happen to have a customer service issue, I'm not sure you'll come back satisfied. But I will definitely continue to shop here in the future.

99% of what I've purchased from them has been amazing. The only issues I've had came up recently: I purchased a pair of shorts for myself and one for my son. Both were mis-labeled on the website. My pair were too small (said is was a women's 14, turned out to be a men's 32.? Not sure how they made that mistake.) The toddler shorts were listed as a 4T, but were a kids' XS - which is actually a little bigger than a 5T. I decided not to send them back, but emailed Swap, just to let them know about the mistake and basically to say "just be careful with your listings in the future." I got an automated response back saying, "Thank you so much for your positive feedback! We really love to hear from customers like you..." So clearly no one had actually read my email. Since then they've sent two emails asking how my customer service experience was, both times I've given them my thoughts, and both times they've said "someone will be contacting me" and it hasn't happened.

I've gotten a couple pieces that weren't in "perfect" condition - a women's shirt and a pair of kids' shorts that had some sort of ink spots on them. But they're nothing worse than what you would find at an actual thrift store, and the ink on the shirt washed out. With the shorts, it was on the waistband and won't show anyway. But as picky as they seem to be about their buying practices, (and as many people here who've said they tried to sell and had items rejected.) I was surprised to see anything short of perfection come out of their boxes.

I'm tempted to sell through their site, but after reading multiple reviews here I'll probably just stick to eBay.

We ordered a chair and ottoman SET. I emailed Wayfair to ensure it was indeed a set. Not only did they respond to confirm it, but they posted my question on their site under the item.

And of course, a week later we received a chair and no ottoman.

After a lot of mess that I won't go into, we were told the only way to resolve this was to send another SET, then they would send us a shipping label and we would have to repackage the original chair and arrange to have it picked up by Fedex. What? Okay, whatever...

Yeah, we received a second chair and NO OTTOMAN! A few days later. I nearly exploded. We called and told them to come pick up BOTH chairs, we no longer wanted them. They were supposed to send a label to have them picked up by fedex. That was three and a half weeks ago. The CSR told us if we hadn't heard from them in two weeks then the chairs were ours to keep.

That sounds great but remember we have two chairs and no ottoman. Also, I was not in love with the chair once it arrived. And we don't have a huge living room, so we don't have space for the second chair. It's currently sitting, still wrapped up, on horses in our garage. I'm not sure what we'll do with it. And they're the only place that seems to sell the matching ottoman (which isn't going to be available until early 2018 anyway, after all of this mess.) and I really don't want to give them anymore business.

UPDATE: We kept both chairs (ended up being free because they have made no attempt to claim them.) and ordered the matching ottoman. It arrived within a reasonable time frame... with three functioning legs and one that wouldn't screw in! OMG could this place BE any worse? ;) In order to avoid any further contact with this company my husband purchased the piece we needed to repair the leg and just fixed it himself.

So no, I would not recommend doing business with them. They are also the same company as Joss & Main, Birch Lane, and some others. Why they have various names, I don't know.
