This site if for businesses who have small tasks that don't need in-house hired help to perform small tasks like going to a certain website, clicking on a link or trying and app, and reporting results, or sometimes posting an ad. The tasks are all different, but small pay. Too small if you ask me. Pay is like 0.10 for a 2 minute job, but some range higher depending on the payer.

The site would be great if it weren't filled with SPAMMERS! Tons of spam listings that all you'll rack up is junk mail and such. There will be tons of listings one page and only maybe one of them are genuine. But if you are a business, you're not getting a lot of results since spammers are scaring them off. If you're an online worker, the jobs would look simple and legit, until you realize the site you were led to were one of those "you won a prize", now enter your info, and claim at least 3 promotional offers to get the prize. But the tasks will just tell you to go to the site and then tell you to enter the url at the end of the process (process not explained) and you'll get paid for the url.

ShortTask doesn't weave through the spammers to delete them. If you actually want a legit job for side cash, go to UserTesting.com. Website owners will pay to watch a real person use their site so they can discover where their site is confusing. It's done by video recording your computer screen, and you get paid $10 per website. Tasks are about 10-25 minutes.

This site has high quality products for half the retail price! With their free rewards program, almost everything you do on their site earns you points towards discounts on future purchases--every dollar spent, review, forum posts, video. Fast and discrete shipping for as low as $4.95 with promotional free shipping specials. Ingredient info available for all products. They have a large selection of popular health supplements, but I mostly order all of my sports nutrition and diet supplements here only.

Everything Helen S. Said! Not much of a description of the type of print graphics, so you have to rely on the image alone. I had to return the one item that I did receive, because it didn't look the same as pictured, and the size was too big and odd fitting for a Small, yet this was the smallest size. So, their sizing chart doesn't help out much, but I know this all depends on the manufacturer.

There should be an availability status on the item page, because I had wait almost 2 months for a backordered item before I just had to cancel. I was charged for the backordered item too, yet never even got a status update or an estimated time frame. It would've been easier if the backorders were charged at the time of shipment. If you wanna take your chances, best to hit up customer service before about item availability.

Returns are hectic, and you never know when your refund is issued unless you call customer service or follow up with your bank. Their site claims, "There is a $5.00 restocking fee ($10.00 on men's and women's shoes) on all returned merchandise, unless a shipping mistake was made by us. This fee covers all processing, packaging and shipping charges for your return." Why do they even need a restocking fee if their shipping isn't free--cheapest shipping is $8--and the items aren't even sealed--just a folded shirt in a mail bag!? So, you have to pay for return shipping, aren't returned the $8 s/h fee, and lose an additional $5-$10. Now you just paid for the entire item with just these fees, and are left with nothing in hand--might as well have kept the item and sold it on eBay.

BOTTOM LINE--poor item descriptions, bad to non-existent customer service, returns are hectic, and the only online store that claims it's stocked with almost every rare or outdated item, but most are unavailable or even discontinued--but you'll be waiting for those discontinued items an eternity.
