Recently, I was tasked with finding a pool service company for my job. I ended up plugging my information in on a website that dropped me off with Angi.com. I never received a single pool service estimate that was offered and what I got instead was hundreds of email and spam calls. Think twice before giving your information to these folks, but they sucker you with bait websites, so you won't even know you're giving your information to them until it's too late.
If you use this service like I did you're going to be upset with eBay realizing that they are raking you over the coals on shipping fees. I was able to save 50 to 60 cents per package for the few things I did ship with this service. Unfortunately, it did not integrate into my system well and I ended up transposing two labels on packages. Now, I have lost $22 in an effort to save 59 cents. I wish I had read the reviews before utilizing this service for my business. Now I am waiting on a courier service called GSL that I have never heard of to pick up a package and based off the reviews I'm going to have to deliver it 20 miles to the nearest dropbox. Learn from my mistake and do your research before you utilize this company.
Purchased a 3 piece set in March 2019 and the sofa was the biggest regret I have in life. See pictures and ask yourself if you want you sofa to look like this in 2 years. I can't even give it away!
Last time I used this service I was connected to a decent rate with MetLife. The part they don't tell you upfront is that you're signing up a "self-service online account." I was never able to get service on my auto policy when I needed it and had to call a different number from my home insurance. When the website failed to work from my computer, I was left without access to my documents or account. MetLife raised my rates multiple times without any notification, until I quit completely and went to Mercury. Avoid this website for the things they don't tell you upfront.

You can send messages to users on the site for free, and include your contact information if you would like. Once you start getting replies then you can pay for a membership to read and respond. Finding a roommate can be tough and there can be many reasons why users do not reply. Adjusting your preferences, and doing a broader search could bring up more matches.
