This is one of the harshest reviews I've left for a website in quite some time. My order "was" finally delivered but I recommend that no-one fall for the promises of delivery.
I purchased a DVD for a friend May 29th and delivery took 30 days.
In order to track you're order you must download the SHOP app. No other way to track is offered. I gor one email thanking for order than one on June 12th saying item was shipped. While they do tell you that delivery will take 8-18 days there's no information as to when that goes into effect. I also paid an extra $3 for the DVD to be in a case. Did not happen, DVD arrived in a paper dvd sleeve which means I was overcharged $3. I attempted numerous times to contact the seller. I wanted to correct the billing information which copied my friends address in spite of the fact that I unchecked the box, same as billing address. I contacted them twice via the contact form on the website. Then twice more through the help email. It turns out PayPal is the only method of payment and when I checked my account it's listed under a UK email not the rarefliks business name. While the SHOP app notified me that the item was shipped they didn't have any tracking information either. They did say that the shipping was through Yun Express (a Hong Kong shipper?)with no tracking shown. This is a very sketchy website and there are numerous registered complaints on the Better Business website. Beware!

I ordered a refurbished Ipad Pro from Decluttr, and even got a 10% discount.
That being said, I received it today. Now, they said it was in "good, refurbished" condition. They were wrong. It arrived in "like-new" condition. I am quite impressed. Included was a little lightening cable.
Seriously, I was skeptical at first given all the negative reviews, but, now I'm very pleased.
The only con was trying to check order status. It kept on coming up as in processing and yet I received it today. Not knowing when it was being shipped was a let down because I waited to make sure the accessories I needed (longer cable and a screen protector) would be appropriate for this model. But, as I said it appears to be brand new except for a few very light scratched on the rear of the device. Good job!

Tip for consumers:
Be patient

I've had an account with Vudu for many years. I've loved the ability to add physical titles with digital codes to my library. Except, there's a HUGE issue with Vudu. Apparently they expect me to keep all my physical receipts for every purchase, who does that? Also, many of my movies have been removed and the only explanation I get from Vudu is that my email doesn't match the purchase. I have 4 emails, so, which one am I supposedly going to remember goes where? My other big complaint is... as a customer who has over 160 mpbs streaming speed I constantly have buffering/streaming issues watch my content. It doesn't matter the time of day, week or weekend, every browser I've tried has the same issue. I use a number of streaming services, even Amazon is better at streaming!

  • CookUnity

7/24/20

I have tried many types of subscription boxes from snack and candy to meals both pre-prepared and prepared by me and CookUnity is the absolutely best one I've tried. They offer great deals to try out their service but this review isn't about prices. It's about quality chef-prepared food that's tailored to many kinds of diets from keto to vegetarian. I've been using their service over a month now and I'm amazed at the high quality of the ready-to-serve meals that they prepare. Good choices of protein are offered and the sides offered not only match the protein but are incredibly flavorful and good to eat. They have a number of chefs that prepare what seems to be small-batch entrees that are packed in a biodegradable tray and are shipped in a insulated box (not Styrofoam!) with ice gel packs to keep it cold until you receive it the next day. This is a weekly meal delivery service that also offers an option to skip or pause your deliveries as needed. They are quick and generous to fix any mistakes (only one for me)and respond quickly to support questions. Also you have a choice of how many meals you want each week. I think it's generally 6 -12 (I went with 12)and additional options are available for sides and meals as you wish with an additional charge which is posted very clearly on the website. And shipping is free. What's not to like? Kudos to CookUnity for providing great gourmet meals!

Tip for consumers:
Remember that it's a weekly meal service with options to skips week and you can also choose how many meals fit your needs. Generally 6 -12 and options are available whether you want extra meals or sides.
