  • Fake Bake

9/26/18

I use fake bake all year round. It doesn't streak or blotch your skin nor turn you orange. It gives you a healthy look that looks natural. No one has every said anything negative to me about my tan and all assume I sunbathe which in California is easily done. Highly recommend this product even though it is costly it is well worth it

  • Rakuten

9/26/18

I have used ebates for years along with Honey. Ebates has faithfully paid back all monies that I have earned every three months with no problem and will let you opt for a gift card instead that is worth more than the earned cash amount. Gift cards are sponsored by companies such as Overstock and Old Navy so this is a win-win deal. For example, say I earned 35 dollars in cash back but chose to get a gift card that you can redeem a few weeks earlier than waiting for your check to be deposited in paypal. Overstock may offer me a 37 dollar gift card and old navy 37.50. How can you lose?

  • HealthyKin

4/3/18

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

  • 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

I USE GROUPON FOR ALL ONLINE PURCHASES. I JUST GOOGLE PROMO CODE FOR STORES NAME - AND CLICK ON GROUPONS LINK. DISCOUNT IS ALWAYS THERE SO COPY THEN PASTE DURING CHECK OUT

  • Petsmart

9/5/16

Petsmart is a well stocked store with plenty of variety for all of your animals needs. I shop for bird food, cat food and dog food here on a regular basis. Grooming is ok but usually busy so walk ins aren't recommended unless you have time to spare.

  • Amazon

9/5/16

Been shopping for years at Amazon.com and it is my favorite place to order just about anything you could want or need. I know when my item will arrive and that it will be packaged well. Never had one problem with Amazon and if I could rate it higher then 5 stars I would!

  • Back Forty Roseville

2/29/16

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

  • Home Depot

10/29/15

I love home depot and go there at least twice a week. They always ask if I need help, I am always greeted when I walk in, the check out is easy and items are usually available. The only issue I have with them are the independent sales people giving a deal on home improvement. I am always approached by them everytime I shop and I find it annoying since I am there so often.

  • 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.

  • Wish

10/19/18

Wish is a fun place to browse and buy inexpensive items. And no their 925 sterling silver isn't 't the same as our standards and will turn your finger green but what do you expect for free just pay for shipping? Speaking of which shipping is charged on every item so it adds up quickly. At times I haven't received an item but it is a simple fix just by logging into your account, going to orders and report not delivered. You will be refunded the amount you paid so you have nothing to lose Some of their items are nice and worth the 2 or 3 dollar shipping charge and occasionally a coupon arrives in your mail for a percentage off or free shipping on your next order.

Tip for consumers:
be careful of the shipping costs and look at your desired product from other sellers as it may be free or cheaper

  • 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.

  • Snowline Hospice

7/6/17

I came across this store a few months ago and needless to say, it serves a wonderful cause. I patronize this store to support the hospice services which so many people need.
The store itself is large and roomy with clothing, furniture and household items. Many treasures can be found here at reasonable prices. Their displays are wonderful and themed with matching colors of different items.
Dishes, linens, electronics, crafts and flower supplies can all be found here in neatly and well stocked arrangements. You find something that you just must have here and probably more!
I give it a 4 stars only because the workers are not that friendly but being volunteers I guess that doesn't really matter to them.

  • Haband

9/5/16

Haband is not my style but I do get lots of my fathers clothing through them. He enjoys the cut and style of their pants and zippered up shirts. All of the clothing hold up well and no ironing required on many clothes items. No ordering or shipping issues at all

  • 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

  • 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

  • Walmart

10/29/15

Never had a problem with any orders I have made. The ship to store option is a pain only because after they text you to come get it you have to find the area to pick it up at then wait for someone to come help you so its not so conveinent as it sounds. Other than that no problems

  • 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

  • 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

  • Mercari

8/11/20

Mercari is a pretty easy site to get around on to buy and or sell various items. I both buy and sell on there and the only complaint I have is that they need a better server. It takes forever to upload pictures or won't upload them at all. After several attempts with no luck I just go list them on Ebay who has no issues uploading images. I am sure many face this same issue and Mercari really should correct it.
As far as customer service, I have always received a prompt reply and if necessary a refund from a seller not shipping out item. Also a purchase was lost on its way to me and I sent the email I received from my postmaster stating package could not be found and Mercari issued me a refund right away.
The app kind of sucks in some ways. It could use some work making it load faster-again they need a bigger server- and I don't like the picks they choose for likes as it doesn't relate to what I'm interested in so I avoid that and go to my likes only. Also, the items that have sold need to be removed from the active ones. It gets tiring to just see sold items while you are looking for treasures.
Most sellers up their prices because you can offer a lower price which is expected and most sellers do accept. You can also like an item and the seller may offer you a reduced price. They really need to get shippo or another postal server to get priority rates that arent offered so packages sent go first-class or UPS /FEDX and can be rather expensive but prevents the gorging of shipping prices as seen on eBay who doesn't control it at all.
Overall Mercari is a good auction site that is growing daily.

Tip for consumers:
Don't pay full price.
Always offer the seller a lower price . If they don't like your offer then they can counter offer or just refuse offer
