This site is addicting with the live auctions but beware because the listed retail price is way higher then it is on other sites plus shipping is always high. You might pay a dollar for the product but you will be charged up to 12 dollars for shipping. A lot of chinese sellers on here that list elsewhere too, so if you don. T know what a reasonable price is then google it. You will see the same item/items on both Amazon and Ebay for not only cheaper but free shipping as well. For instance I won a little pony nite light for 6 dollars and 5 dollars to ship. Eleven dollars total but ebay sells them for 1.36 with free shipping, The packaging is done poorly resulting in damage to outer box. Also most products are poor quality especially the rings

Tip for consumers:
Google item before outbidding other buyers. Customer service is pretty good with this company

  • BigLots!

7/5/20

I go to Big Lots mainly for throw or area rugs because of the lower prices but have found that the quality has really gone down. Rugs shred at seams after a first wash or become snagged by vacuuming making them worthless. I have discovered that some products they carry are overpriced and can be found at the dollar tree right next door for one dollar versus their price. Their garden decor while cute is also not discounted and carried at Walmart for 3 dollars or more cheaper.
During this Covid 19 crisis no items needed have been stocked or even on the shelves even though they claim they have everything you need making it a wasted trip going there. The only discount I see are clearance items which are really not marked down much and the sheet sets are of a bad quality and become so wrinkled and dull after the first wash.The 5 dollars off 15 is great if you can actually get them to work which half the time Big Lots has a bad internet connect and won't populate at the register. Also their website crashes and checkout is impossible. After Christmas sale for example would not let you check out your items and continued to do this for weeks. I lost 3 coupons to use as well and when I contacted them about this I received the response that their system was overloaded and should be corrected shortly. I was never resent my coupons. I have stopped shopping there due to not receiving my coupons, inferior products, lack of products and overpriced items. The only plus they offer is very nice cashiers and they allow my dog to shop with me which is why I started shopping there to begin with.

  • Best Buy

7/5/20

As long as you know what to buy, Best Buy is ok to shop at but heaven forbid if you have computer questions. Their lack of knowledge astounds me and all they seem to know is whatever items they are at the time trying to push the sales on. Some prices are reasonable, others are overpriced. Since Frys Electronics is so sparse with their inventory now, its good to see that Best Buy is carrying more computer items but they still have a long ways to go to make it worth the time to shop there. All in all Best Buy is ok especially with in store returns.

  • Bath & Body Works

3/15/18

I love this store both online and the brick and mortar versions.The advantage of going into one of their stores is that you can use your Victoria Secret card to purchase anything they carry which you can't do on their website.
I have never encountered any problems with them online or in store. When ordering online I can order what I want, use coupons for savings, receive products quickly, and products are always well packaged. In the store they are super friendly and helpful. I avoid going to their stores as much as possible because I just can't control myself and buy way too much. Online I have better control of myself.
As far as people that have allergies etc. it's not a store for you. Many scents will overwhelm you as products are available as testers.

Tip for consumers:
Very easy website for ordering

  • Ginny's

10/21/15

I have bought from Ginnys and sister companies for a long time. Never encountered issues until recently. Seems they run credit checks on every order you place so if you order for christmas a few times your credit will have a hard inquiry on it every order placed. My advice is to order everything at the same time. Even with approved credit they still will run a credit check so consumers should be aware of this

  • Fry's

12/5/17

I love Fry's and I buy more then computer parts there. Shampooers, microwaves, vacuums, music/videos and as seen on TV. However if you need help you will have difficulty finding a sales rep to help you, Last night I went in to buy a mini fridge for my father. Since they had no boxes you could throw in your cart I had an unpleasant time trying to get the sales rep to help me. Not getting any response from the first rep for a good 5 minutes, I was asked to wait for another rep but of course no rep was available even after at least a ten minute wait. Assuming that they rather not help me I decided to leave and made my purchase elsewhere where I was gladly welcomed and helped.If I need to purchase anything here that requires the aid of a sales rep I won. T be buying it and will go elsewhere. This isn't the first time this happened to me. It is simply not a store that helps their customers.

  • Dollar General

9/4/16

Dollar general for some reason always stocks their stores throughout the day creating no space in the aisles. Boxes stacked upon boxes fill every available space in the store Its an obstacle course trying to get through the aisles without either getting your cart stuck or not being able to even go down the aisle to get what you need. In fact you cannot browse the shelves in the store because they make it impossible by leaving all their boxed merchandise everywhere. No one is ever stocking the shelves, the shelves stay bare no matter when you go and I am always amazed how they even stay in business. Their name dollar general should be changed. When was the last time items were generally a dollar? They offer good deals but the merchandise is sitting in boxes awaiting to be unpacked. Cashiers are friendly and very casual which us nice but unfortunately most people I know dont bother to shop there because of the lack of items offerred and the challenge of just making it to the freezer without tripping, knocking over something, getting stuck or spraining your ankle leaping over boxes

  • Your Mechanic

10/11/15

This company will not honor the mistakes of their mechanic. They do not care about their customers at all only money in their pocket. Had to take our car to a REAL mechanic that fixed all our problems caused by yourmechanic for 50 dollars. Honestly I would think that yourmechanic would of saved not only their reputation but potential customers by fixing my car. Their mechanic wired the electrical system wrong, pulled off the arm rest and broke clips in the control panel. Really a simple fix for someone that actually knows how to repair cars. I will always continue to warn everyone to stay away from this company.

They are dishonest and devious with their actions.

You and your fake I am sorry. This was your mechanic that you KNEW WAS A LIABILITY YET SENT HIM TO US DECIEVING US INTO THINKING HE WAS WORKING THROUGH COMPANY POLICIES. YOU APPROVE AND ENCOURAGE THIS!

We hired through your company and paid you. The mechanic did not time our truck properly and left a mess. Our car door panel was ruined on the second vehicle for a simple pully install and you ignored these facts. You sent a second mechanic to evaluate the damages and assured us you would fix the mistakes. Never heard back from you until I called and called you. This is not the actions of a good company.

Thank you for taking your time and providing us with valuable feedback. I am sorry that you had a negative experience with us. I understand you have been in contact with our support team and unfortunately because you paid the mechanic directly with cash as a side job outside of our company & systems, we are unable to provide any warranty for a transaction we were not involved with.

  • Poshmark

7/5/20

Poshmark is very unreliable if you need their customer service. They allow sellers too many days to ship your item but they will remind seller to ship item out if and only if you complain. You can't cancel your order until several days of no shipping and again you have to be communicating with customer service to get anything done on your behalf. They don't seem to pay attention to what is going on and your order can be sitting around forever unless you contact them. If your item gets lost in the mail you will also have to tell them as they don't check this either. I guess they just sit all day shooting back responses that are prewritten for them through emails Intelligent bunch they hire.
The web site is a pain. If you search for say, 3 pound jewelry lot, you will get everything that you did not want like single jewelry items. This is a waste of time. Why search if you don't get back results that you want You get invited to all sorts of posh parties filling up your news page and offers from sellers if you liked their product. You can get good deals this way and it's kind of fun to haggle the price but all in all poshmark is more of a pain then pleasure to shop on

Tip for consumers:
Make sure you track your package daily. Contact customer service with complete details otherwise they won't respond

My father is bedridden and I have to buy many medical supply items. HealthyKin has the best prices and extremely fast shipping. Products are well packaged and nothing I have ordered so far has been opened or in any kind of shape except excellent. Highly recommend

  • CarMax

1/9/22

With over ******* miles on my car and the engine light on i knew it was time to buy another car. Going from dealership to dealership is such a hassle especially with covid. So i decided to go online and look. The best place i found was Carmax. I pre qualified so i knew the price range i would be approved for which saves a lot of time not to mention frustration. I chose my car and went to puck it up. The minute i walked in i was greeted and a salesman ushered me to his office space to conclude the deal. Simple and no hassle. I must say that their cars are a little pricey and they push for the extra warranty but all in all i am very satisfied and glad i purchased my car from them. Easy to get financed is definitely a plus too and i put a small down payment which didnt strip me of all my finances.

  • Harbor Freight Tools

8/29/20

This store has more sales than any other store on this planet! Constant emails, coupons and codes flood your inbox. Problem is the products are repeated over and over again with no end in site and they mislead you in thinking that it's a close out or clearance yet the products are a standard item in their stores.
Products are low quality, break easily, limited in their selection and really not worth buying with the exception of a few products.
Purchased their kitchen sink auger and it twisted so badly within 5 minutes of trying to unclog my sink that it was totally useless. Home depot was my next stop for a reliable one as the broken one had to be returned to the manufacture not the store for refund or an exchange I needed an auger right away, not in 3-4 weeks. A waste of time and money but a lesson learned. Buy from a store that backs their products.
I don't recommend Harbor Freight for purchasing your home tool needs unless you want to fill someones stocking up with tape measures, screw drivers, funnels and other small household essentials. These small items seem to last longer but thats
Probably because you won't use them much.
The staff are friendly and some are helpful and knowledgeable and they earn a higher score then the merchandise

This place can be of help as long as you see a real doctor once in a while Scott's main concern is selling vitamins and it is normal to pay 300 hundred plus for supplements that you may or not need If you are not feeling better then more supplements will be added at your next visit and the ones you already bought from him go to waste.It becomes quite costly.
The office is set up like a doctors office and you sometimes can wait for a long time to see him as overbooking is a common issue He will run several tests on you including his arms held up and hovering over your body. He claims he can pinpoint your ailment that way but unfortunately he can be wrong and since he advises you against getting a medical doctors opinion, you may get misdiagnosed and wind up septic in the ER as in my case. You will never hear him say he was wrong but will get told to take different vitamins because another condition arose that needs treatment.On and on this goes on until you realize its all about profit not health.

Tip for consumers:
This is in no way a medical facility nor can replace an MDs evaluation on you

  • 99 Cents Only

3/13/18
• Updated review

I received a nice email after my last review from the 99cent store but I have to be honest and say that no improvements have been made, one cashier with at least 6 customers waiting-and that cashier won't greet you let alone smile at you- shelves are low on products and in disarray. It's too bad that it is like this because the store itself carries some really nice items that I want but don't buy because of the check out the situation. Only one manager will come out to open a register to get more customers checked out but unfortunately she is leaving this store and the other managers that I have encountered there simply avoid looking at the check out lines and proceed to go to their office in the back or do whatever which is not to work in improving their store. I tried to give them chances for improving and entered their store around 5 pm. The manager blocked the whole aisle and was slowly fixing something on the flower display. Guess she was killing time before her break? Anyway excuse me didn't work for me as she decided to start talking to someone so I backed up and went to another aisle. I found some garden items I wanted so proceeded to check out but yes you guessed it-one mean cashier with this ugly look on her face and a line that went on for eternity. Where was the manager? On her way for her break. She asked the cashier if the check out line was long without bothering to see for herself, said she would return after her break and walked right past us angry customers without even looking at the huge line. So once again I left the store leaving a full basket of products that I had planned on buying and drove to the dollar tree where I can at the very least get a cashier who smiles and back up cashiers if needed.

Tip for consumers:
Do not bother with the Roseville store unless you have time to kill

Super slow checkout

• Previous review

Be prepared to shop for 10 minutes then wait 20 minutes in line. One cashier is open but if you are lucky another lane will open. Unfortunately, someone that just got in line way after you will race to get ahead of everyone and check out. Cashiers don't ask the next person in line to come over, they simply open up and let the customers race over. Not only does this make me not shop here, the store which is busy has a horrid spoiled odor in the grocery section along with fruit flies buzzing around. Simply not worth shopping at to save a few bucks. Notice how more and more products are 1.99 or more now? Check the tags before checking out and plan on a long wait checking out and not so friendly cashier to boot=not a good shopping experience at all.

I use to donate often to this charity until today. Because it was raining the employee instead of being helpful cussed us out and said he did not want our donation. I don't think any company should employ such rude people and I am very disappointed that this happened. I certainly will never return.

  • Overstock.com

9/5/16

Overstock is a good shopping site but prices tend to run higher and shipping isn't as fast as say Amazon. Good products and sometimes a good bargain can be found

  • Eco thrift

3/1/16

Eco thrift is a fun thrift store and there are always sales on different colored tags for 25-75 percent off. However the really nice items are never marked down so if you are waiting for a certain something to get marked down on a colored tag you are wasting your time. I went there about 2-3 times per week hoping certain items I really wanted would be on the sale tag but the item I wanted changed to a different color tag which means it will always be the regular price. Other than that, you are sure to find something you like

This is a great place to eat at. The atmosphere is great and the staff are very friendly and see to your every need while dining. Affordable prices, great Texas beer and delicious food. Highly recommend

  • Lowe's

10/29/15

I like Lowes because of the selection of items it carries. However they are not as helpful as they once were and not friendly at all. I tend to stay with home depot because of their customer service instead of shopping at Lowes. At times though Lowes has the best deal or the product I want so I will go there but again lack of customer service does not make me a constant customer of theirs and I go only when I need to

  • Kmart

10/29/15

Kmart is not the store it used to be. The cashiers are so slow sometimes I just leave my basket and go elsewhere. No one is ever around to help you and even the manager is busy talking to friends laughing while customers fume.The lack of products they carry are easily found elsewhere as well so I do not bother with this store anymore. Believe me I tried and tried but the lack of customer service is just unreal.
