“My Brad's Deal purchases”

Lori B.
12/28/23

I have ordered a few products and 2 out 3 were great. The reason I am leaving this review is to ask Noah with Brads Deals to make sure the item that is pictured is for sale. I have wanted to order a couple of items that were shown in the picture and they were not available. I looked for the items as soon as I received the email. I don't believe they would be sold out. I have enjoyed the website for Christmas bargains. I do think that 3 emails a day is a little much.

I have found great buys for myself and family on this site. I just bought a cross pen and stylus for $9. I'm also getting ready to purchase 100 pods of coffee for $25. You can't beat these deals!

I have bought something almost every day since I have joined Brad's deals listserve. I have a hectic schedule and with stores closing I rarely get a chance to shop. I have bought everything from shoes, to clothes, to car mats. The most important thing is to understand the return policies for stores. Given that you cannot see the items in person before you buy, there is a high probability that you will have to return some items. Brad's deals could help with this by disclosing unusual or onerous return policies, such as having to pay for return shipping overseas. This should be be disclosed in the synopsis of the item. I would be cautious of deals through Amazon because those deals are often overseas.

I am a rather conservative spender but have been able to purchase some great things at great prices ever since I signed up to receive these emails a couple times a week. Thank you!

I have made a few purchases found on brad's deals and they are the best. It clearly specifies what the deal is with no strings attached, easy the process. Also they have very good deals!

I like the deals from Brads... however they have shown deals to shady companys an example is Tanga... I seen an offer on Brads Deal and made a purchase which was damaged and not exchangeable due to Tanga filing bankruptcy. So lesson learned... I like the deals but still check out the companys they are advertising for first. To avoid being scammed.

I have bought some amazing deals on Brad's Deals but I couldn't give it a 5 star rating for one reason. If you happen to delete the information about your purchase, you're out of luck! I saw no place on the website to view "my account" or "my purchases" and there is no contact information for Brad's Deals. A company whom I purchased items from contacted me about the incorrect price and needed to charge me more to have my item sent to me- I couldn't do it without that confirmation number I had lost. Fortunately, I called the company again and the person I spoke to actually looked up the account so everything's all good now. Why doesn't Brad's Deals have contact information on it's website?

I really enjoy and use your site and deals quite often. However today for the first time I feel I've been scammed. I attempted to Oder the two night stands from jet.com and after I submitted all my personal information, including my credit card, I was told the item was sold out. Now I've experienced items being sold out before, but not after I submit all my personal information. Previously as soon as you start to place the order, you are informed that the item is sold out. I really feel like I've been scammed by jet.com. Thank you

Brad W. – Brad's Deals Rep

Hi Pat, we are so sorry to hear that this happened. I can assure you that you were not scammed. This deal ended up selling out before Jet.com realized it. Unfortunately it was selling really well and a lot of people ordered it through our newsletter and they received shipping confirmations before Jet.com realize they were sold out. We do realize that is frustrating and we hate for it to happen, but we can assure you it was a legitimate deal and your information is safe. We'll be in touch with Jet.com about keeping us updated more thoroughly on their stock when we have items that sell so well. Again, we are very sorry.

I have gotten many great deals on this site from Ralph Lauren pillows under 20 bucks to amazing discounts on toms shoes (which I love) super comfy! And thanks to brads deals I've been able to purchase a few pairs. However, I've been having some issues with this site lately, can't seem to open any sites and I'm having serious bradsdeals withdrawal what's going on?

Tried to purchase Sears Cradtsman Tool Bag that was shown as $3.99 on you "deals" on "Sears, com" but it would not price out at that price. Their price was $8.99. "Chat" with Frddie at Sears but he could not find the Bag at the $3.99 price. He deal was ended today, as stated on you listing. Does that mean I have no way of getting the product at the $3.99 price? AND why was I not able to purchase the product? Please explain! Thank you!

I love this website for deals and coupons for all stores and printable coupons around the country. They do all the "dirty work" for you and e-mail you each day to tell you what's on sale. Great for anything &everything you need to buy. From clothes to electronics to home goods, bedding etc...

Most of the time, my experiences are great. It is frustrating at times when things are not available almost as soon as posted.

You can still get good deals on Brad's Deals, but you have to be very careful. At one time, I thought Brad's Deals vetted companies before publicizing their deals and so I was extremely trusting. I don't know if I was wrong, or if something changed, but they seem to work with just about any company now, and like others, I have been banned from making comments because I raised concerns about the reputation of a company they publicize deals for. However, there is still really no place better to find out where the best deals are. I suggest going only with companies you know if you don't want to risk receiving inferior merchandise.

Personally, I have been a fan of Brad's Deals for years. Like any other company it has grown leaps and bounds with a full time staff. There was a time when Brad would personally email you back about a problem and solve it himself. There are great deals and horrible deals listed. I would advise anyone coming to the site to deal with companies you are familiar with. Major companies are safe such as Staples, Macy's, Kohls, etc. Common sense takes priority when finding a deal. I scout around looking for good deals, half the time find them on Brad's listing.
