I have sent many cards using this site and friends and family always love them. The fact that you can no longer adjust the shape of the head is kind of lame especially knowing that they use to offer that. Not sure why they removed it but the original heads that I have from when I could do that look much better.

The only other complaint I have is that many of the videos are really low brow male kind of humor (like farting…) I would like to see more videos that might appeal to women.

Overall I would say it has been very positive and fun. Not expensive either given the price of paper cards.

Mostly reliable but when there are problems it is usually hard to reach customer support.

The Walton family is the richest family in the world with almost $150 Billion in net worth. This is more than the bottom 42% of the whole country combined. Meanwhile they do not pay a living wage or offer benefits to the vast majority of their employees. The result is that Walmart employees are living below the poverty level and receiving food stamps and medicaid which costs the country an estimated $5 billion per year.

You could argue that a higher wage and increase in benefits would result in higher costs. That would be true to a certain extent but given the huge volume of sales that Walmart we would be talking about pennies on most sales. Another thing to consider is comparing Walmart to a better employer. Costco is a good example because they pay a living wage and provide better benefits. The result is they have much higher employee satisfaction resulting in a higher retention rate and much lower level of shrinkage (theft).

Bottom line is we make a choice when we are shopping at a retailer and if we choose to shop at a store that is owned by the richest family in the world that pays their employees poverty level wages then we are supporting this practice. It is good business to take care of your employees and treat them the same way you would wanted to be treated. Until that time comes I will not even consider shopping at Walmart.

Wow, where to start. I signed up because I read that it was the #1 dating app. I signed up for free and started getting messages right away (imagine that). However you can't read any messages unless you pay. I signed up so I could see these messages and decided on a 6 month membership because it was discounted and I figured it would take a little while to meet the a good match. Big mistake.

The so-called messages that I received were actually just "winks" and it is not clear if they were from actual people or just an automatic thing the site does to try to get people to sign up. The site seems to be more about chatting with people and the profiles usually have very little info.

I tried to figure out how to cancel but it was really hard to find any contact info. When I contacted them and they told me I had a 3 day window to cancel since I live in California. There was still 1 day left and I cancelled immediately. However I did not receive a refund. Apparently all this did was make sure that my membership did not renew automatically.

Since I had already paid I continued to check in on the site to see if I could make the most of it. Wow, what a total waste of time. In 6 months time and a significant effort I did not wind up meeting one person and it was difficult to even get someone to chat with me. There was one woman that did want to meet but she was frustrated with the site so she quit. She sent me her number before she quit but I did not write it down immediately and once her profile was gone so was the message with her number.

My membership expired recently and I checked back to see some of the messages that I had received but all the communication that I had over that time was blocked. I could see the messages that I wrote but all of the responses were blocked. How bogus is that?

I am on 2 other sites that do not require you to pay to contact other users. In the same time I have met several women from those sites. The information that people provide in their profiles on those other sites gives you a much better idea if you are a good match. One of the sites even matches you up based on a quiz that you fill out.

Bottom line, I would not recommend this site to anyone. It is worthless if you do not pay and not much better than that if you do.
