  • Essential Oils R Life

3/6/18

Sells Essential Oils. I use these in my bees wax products. I purchased an order in January to test out their oils. I never received my order and have sent multiple emails with no answer. Stay away from this website, not only do they not send your product they spam your inbox with unwanted ads even after they have not filled your order. I usually leave good reviews but could not do so for this company. It is a complete scam.

  • Gurney's

4/3/16

I buy my garden seeds every year from Gurneys. Their seeds are the best and I always have a beautiful productive garden. They carefully package and ship in a prompt manner. Plants are healthy and packaged to withstand the trip. They offer great deals and give good discounts to return customers. Their catalogue is free and beautiful, you can also buy it all online. Have used them over 5 years and love their products and service.

  • Office Depot

4/3/16

I always go to Office Depot for office and shipping supplies as well as computers. They have the friendliest staff and great quality products. From computers to office chairs to shipping supplies, Office Depot is the place to go. E

Tip for consumers:
Good customer service, good value. The only con is the have a limited selection. Usually if they don't have it they can order it.

  • Lowe's

4/3/16

I have always had a pretty good experience at Lowes. They have helpful staff and good quality items. They do a good job of installing appliances. They are rather large and sometimes it is hard to find someone to help and since it is so large it is often hard to find what you are looking for. Some items are a little more expensive than the local hardware store.

Tip for consumers:
Good customer service, good quality products,

Large store, not always enough help and sometimes a little more expensive

  • Dollar Tree

4/3/16

I like Dollar Tree the best of the dollar stores. They have friendly staff and a large selection of items, many are name brands. They also have large parking lots and are in convenient locations.
That being said it is a dollar store so mostly still lower quality items and sometimes food is a bit stale. Also if an item is there on week don't expect it to be there the next week.

  • Walmart

3/16/15

Have purchased many items from Walmart.com and have never had a problem. You need to read the descriptions so you know what you are buying. They are the same items you would buy at a Walmart store. Shipping has been on time and items have been as described.

Tip for consumers:
Buy as you would at a Walmart store the quality is the same.

  • Costco

3/16/15

I have had no problem with Costco. Other than paying 50.00 for a membership and the fact they won't take a credit card you have to have cash or debit card they are okay to shop at. They are a bit overrated, but I go once a month just to buy paper and cleaning products. Their Kirkland brands have great quality. Don't buy a lot as you have to buy in such large bulk it often is not feasible for a family of two.

Tip for consumers:
Great for stocking up on select items. Not so great for small families on other items. You have to pay a membership fee of 50.00 and can not use a credit card.

  • Etsy

3/15/15

While Etsy has a bit less traffic than Ebay and Amazon it is a better place to sell. The fees are much lower and you are in charge of your business. On Etsy the sellers promote and support each other.

There are many categories of sellers but most of them are great people and sell great items. You can find the odd items that you can't find in other places. Great handmade items, lots of vintage collectible items and some wonderful artwork.

  • JC Penney

I love this store. They have great clothes and home decor with good value at a reasonable price. Customer service people and store clerks are helpful and friendly. Great store to shop have been shopping there for years.

  • eBay

3/15/15

Ebay used to be the best place to buy and sell on the internet. In the last few years it has gone downhill for both sellers and buyers as well.

Ebay's rules and philosophy that they can run the business better than the seller is causing good sellers to leave in droves. With their restrictions and high fees it is almost impossible to make a profit as a seller on Ebay anymore. They are kicking out all the small sellers with collectible and one of a kind items and promoting the large sellers specifically those from China with cheap imitation goods.

The buyers are having a hard time on Ebay as well as most of the older more experienced sellers are either moving on or diversifying and putting all their good items elsewhere. Ebay has become the yard sale place and the place of inferior quality cheap Chinese goods. Not only that but buyers have to contend with new sellers taking the place of the older experienced ones and they do not have the experience to run a great customer oriented business.

What used to be a great place to buy and sell is now a shell of it's former self and is losing ground everyday. It has become nothing but a yard sale.

Tip for consumers:
I would find a better site

  • Amazon

3/14/15

I buy a lot of books and other things from Amazon. I have only had one bad purchase is several years and it was a book that was falling apart.
It is a great place to shop but you do need to read the reviews and make up your mind. It is the same if you are buying on Ebay you need to read the descriptions. Read reviews for several products you are looking at before choosing the one to buy. I usually check several sites and than choose were to buy it. Amazon has been a good place for me to buy.

Tip for consumers:
Read the reviews and research online

  • Bonanza

3/7/14

Do not sell on this site. We are Ebay power sellers and we sell on Etsy. We opened a store in 2010 on Bonanza. Recently we sold an item on Bonanza. The buyer did not read the description and was not happy her item was mostly empty although it said mostly empty in the description. We explained to the buyer that they purchased an empty tin and asked them to go back and read the description. The buyer came back with very offensive language using the "F" word among other choice words. We sent a message to customer service and got this message. We are sorry you had a bad experience maybe the person had a bad day we will watch them. This was not okay so we closed our Bonanza store.
