I have been looking for and trying various electrolyte rehydration products recently after I suddenly started having severe intestinal spasming, severe painful contractions around my waist, and worse fatigue and put it down to dehydration after some research. I have tried several and most didn't work. The one that did work was full of sucralose which gave me terrible g. I. symptoms. After trying an even more disgusting brand today that was full of sodium and sickly sweet and made me feel horrible inside and anything but hydrated, I went on yet another online search and came across hammernutrition.com.

It takes a lot to impress me, but so far these people have done that. I first went on live chat and got a real person right from the beginning, no bot to get past first, and he seemed very knowledgeable. I told him what I was looking for, he asked me some questions, and it didn't take him long to come up with something that sounds perfect. He was very nice and respectful and when I told him I was going to place an order right then and I had an urgent need to get it as soon as possible but I had to do it online rather than by phone, he said he would tell some other person or department, and he did what he said he would. That person said it was a bit late but they were going to try to get the order out today if they could.

When I was trying to order and having some problems with the checkout on the website and sent a message through live chat, I got an email from someone very soon after. By then I had got the order placed.

I also got a phone message from another man, the man the first man had talked to, saying that an item was discontinued in the larger size so they were going to take that out of my order and send me the smaller size for free to try and still give me free shipping even though the total order came down below what I had to spend for free shipping.

They really seemed to be nice people who cared and wanted to help and weren't just out to make a sale, which seems rare nowadays.

This is the fourth vpn I have had, and it turned out to be the best. The first 2 were awful. As soon as something was blocked or otherwise went wrong, surfeasy and hotspot shield were incapable of fixing things. Nordvpn was usually okay, but recently failed in unblocking a paid app I had/have.

I only want a vpn for watching UK TV through the iplayers and a paid app. I don't care about anything else. Ukexpatvpn guarantees use of the ones I want and others, and all of their servers are in the UK. I've had them for the last few weeks, and I've had continuous use so far of everything I want to access. So far so good, with no waiting and wondering whether an iplayer, or especially the paid app, will block me and give me silly error messages.

After my horrible experience with Lucky Vitamin, I was afraid to try another company I hadn't heard of, but I looked to see what reviews I could find, and Blue Sky Vitamin had a good rating so I tried them.

I've only ordered from them once so far, very recently, and I can only speak about the supplements I bought because I didn't look at others, but they were much cheaper than I have been able to find elsewhere, including from their manufacturer, who charges full price. I think the website is run by a chiropractor or some other alternative health practitioner. I had to wait for several days longer than I'd expected, but that was okay. I got what I ordered and it was packed well so there were no breakages of glass bottles. If you get on their email list, I think they send a discount code once a month to save extra money for a few days, and I did that on my order, so my order cost even less. If I continue to take these supplements and they continue to keep their prices down, I will continue to buy from them.

I gave target.com another chance recently, actually a few chances, and it was as different as night and day from what it was before. They sent the orders immediately and they arrived very fast, I think it was overnight after the day they were shipped. Unfortunately, I had to return the items, which were mostly clothes because they turned out to be different to what I thought I was ordering and also were the wrong size, but returning for the most part was super easy and free. I shop at target and took them with me and got immediate refunds. I only had one problem incident when some people didn't know how to do returns of rings and told me to return them to the manufacturer (as though I'd know who that was) because there weren't any barcodes on the rings and they clearly didn't believe I'd bought them from target. I didn't realise at the time that there was a return barcode on the receipt for them to use, but they should have known that. The only drawback to returns is having to take them to ups if you don't go to target. It's free for the shipping label, though, and since I happened to have ups coming to my house at just the right time, I got them to take that return with them, and once ups verified that they had the returned items, target emailed me that they were refunding my money.

I have ordered from 123stitch.com quite a few times over the last year or so, and most of the time they have been quick to dispatch my orders, even the same day sometimes. When I've wanted to add anything to an order before it was dispatched, they did that, and there are some companies that refuse to do that, amazon being one of them. They are quick to respond to emails, either the same day or more rarely in my experience the next day. I rang them up once, and a person answered the phone immediately, there was no annoying menu with press this, that or the other first. They have only made mistakes a couple of times but were quick to send me the missing item each time without arguing about it. There was one occasion when they sent me the wrong thread and told me to keep it when they sent me the correct one. A small thing, perhaps, but not everybody does that. The only frustrating thing I've experienced, and it's happened twice, was when an item was out of stock and ended up taking a couple of months before they finally received some stock again. They've asked their supplier for me a couple of times if they had a certain item I was looking for, and when they did, they special ordered it for me. They sell a huge number of different items, but don't appear to have much stock of any given item. I have the impression that it's not a very big company, but I could be wrong because I don't know, but they do offer a more personal service than I have come across elsewhere from an independent website. I've had out-of-hours replies from them on more than one occasion. The only other negative is that if you want to return anything to them, they don't offer free returns. I looked on their forum a couple of times briefly, and I didn't see any competitor-bashing, I doubt if they have the time to do that themselves if there is some of that, but what was there that I thought was inappropriate were topics that were far afield from anything to do with crafting, but that was down to the posters, not 123stitch. My experiences with 123stitch have been overall positive ones, which is why I have continued to be a repeat customer.

I bought a dvd of a 1978 made for US tv film that has never been commercially available, unfortunately. This was the only way I could ever find to get a copy. The picture and sound quality were very poor, and it looked like it had been videoed many years before on a poor quality video recorder and was from the Saturday Late Movie, as some of what had been edited-out advert breaks still had a sign saying that. In some ways, I'm glad to have it to be able to see it again, but the poor quality sound and picture take some getting used to. This happened some time ago. I thought at the time that the seller over-rated the quality of it, although I don't remember exactly what rating he gave it. Having read some of these reviews here about people paying for items they never received, I suppose I was fairly fortunate because I actually did receive the dvd, and it came in a white paper sleeve, so no expense spared there. It was also over priced. I've paid a lot less for good quality commercial dvds. After seeing these reviews, I don't think I'll ever make another attempt at buying anything on ioffer.
Update - June 2018 - Having paid an enormous amount of money elsewhere for the genuine set of dvds and having had the company who make them refuse to replace faulty dvds, mess me about, treat me with disrespect and scorn, and act like there couldn't possibly be anything wrong with them, I returned them to the retailer for a refund and bought a copy from an ioffer seller, the only one who even replied at all and to my every question, that included some other relevant dvds for a fraction of the price. I just received them and haven't watched much yet, but so far so good, and I couldn't be happier. You've got to be careful and look at their feedback because the site has many scammers, but there are some good sellers. The company who make the genuine product wanted almost $10 each plus postage to replace the faulty discs, the ioffer seller will replace them for free, no questions asked.

I have recently placed several large online orders with Michaels and most of it has gone well. However, there are a few unacceptable issues I have had with them.

Their website is very slow and does crazy things at times - it has gone to other pages than the ones I have clicked on quite a few times and on 2 occasions has emptied my shopping basket for no reason after I'd spent all day shopping and choosing items, even though on an order several days before the contents of the shopping basket had remained there for days until I was ready to make my purchases.

I had to ask for my senior discount afterwards on most orders because it wasn't applied. I did this on live chat, which is not open 24/7 like some people leaving reviews here seem to think it should be, but even though a message appeared each time saying that there might be a long wait, every time there was no wait. I had resistance/refusal from some of the first chat people to give me my senior discount, but they either elevated my request to a higher support person on their own or did so immediately when I asked them to. The higher support person applied my senior discount without any argument.

The orders have been sent quickly but in dribs and drabs from what looks like they are coming, in large part at least, from different Michaels stores. I've had just one strand of beads sent by itself more than once. That doesn't bother me but what does is the irresponsibility/lack of care of certain staff in sending me obviously damaged goods. I ordered some packs of metal charms with words on them which arrived with one missing off the card they were attached to, another pack with discolouration/tarnishing? On at least one and deep scratches on others, and other packs/cards of charms with scratches and/or blemishes on the metal. When I wrote a review of what happened with the worst of these charms on Michaels website it was rejected with the reason shipping/fulfilment given. That is a big part of the problem. I resubmitted it and removed the part where I said I wouldn't have bought them if I'd seen them in person and if I worked for Michaels I wouldn't have sent them to a customer and the review still hasn't been published. I don't like the suppression of the truth about how some of the orders are handled in this way. I also received a broken strand of beads. They were all there, but I would still prefer them to be strung like they are supposed to be and attached to the card for storage until I'm ready to use them instead of rolling around loose. It's not very professional and these issues look like they want to fob off customers with damaged goods they wouldn't buy if they saw them in person. I now have the inconvenience of returning the metal charms, and instead of using usps, which will collect parcels from my house, they expect me to take the items to either a Michaels store or ups, neither of which are near me, when it has been their 'mistake'. This issue with being deliberately sent damaged goods which I now have the inconvenience of returning and the suppression of my review about it is what has brought my rating down to a 3 star from a 4.

I added a few items to one of my online orders as a store pickup because for some weird reason one of the items is only available in stores, even though the same product in other colours is sold online. I could see that I wasn't going to be able to get to their store, went on live chat to cancel that part of the order, and I was given an immediate refund. I have paid for everything with paypal.

I have bought mostly beads for 60% off their marked prices and have been happy with the beauty and quality of most of them and also with how quickly I have received the orders.

This goes for beads and especially charms and probably anything else, really, but make sure you check everything either before you buy it or when you receive it if you've bought it online. Since writing this review yesterday I have received another part of my order. There were supposed to be 12 different charms on chain attached to the card/tag. Of the 7 sets I received of the same item only 4 were correct and complete. Two sets were missing a charm entirely so only had 11 each, and this was obvious, there was an empty space on the chain where they should have been, and the other set had 12 charms but one was a duplicate so one of the charms was missing from the set.

I bought some craft dies from this website when I was looking online and found this website. I had no problems at all with that.

There is no cost at all to join or have a store or list items on webstore. I have done that. There are no fees at all. They get their revenue through advertising. If you want to be validated as a seller, which is optional, that costs $10, which I decided to do after awhile. However, in retrospect I realised that it doesn't prove anything other than that you can receive their validation code at the street address you give them, so I don't think I'd do that again.

Something they do that I think is a bit dodgy is to charge certain amounts of money to raise your seller level to a higher one. Apparently this would happen if you had enough sales, but if you don't, you can pay for that. The highest amount is $15 to be the highest level seller, with smaller amounts for the lower levels. I think you would have had to pay the $10 to verify your account first, though. That will move you to seller level 1 from 0. You don't have to pay anything, though. This is all entirely optional and is supposed to give you certain benefits.

Their support always answered my questions promptly.

I had more views than I have had at some other selling sites, but not a single sale. I was selling my own handmade items, mostly, and the postage I have to charge due to the high cost of first class package rates and the extra rigid mailers I have to use to adequately protect the items I think was a factor in having no sales here. Amazon buyers have not been deterred. Maybe I would have done better here with other items.

Like any other auction or buy now site like ebay or etsy, webstore are not the sellers. The sellers are individuals. Some will be honest, others might not be, so don't tar a good seller with a bad seller's brush.

Apart from possibly excessive postage and packaging, although I did receive the item overnight, and the concern about possible shill bidding driving up the price, I bought a vintage replica ring in perfect condition, it looks like new, and I am very happy with it. The remaining few new ones of this ring were being sold on ebay at the time for over 3 times the price I paid. I would be wary of buying anything else from this site for the reasons given by other people here, with which comments I mostly agree, but in this instance I'm very happy to have this ring.
I am revising this review because I have since bought a second item which I just received today, this time a necklace from Middle Tennessee, and although I have no complaints about the necklace itself, the postage charges were excessively high. They charged me $7 for sending a flat necklace in a small, barely padded envelope, and depending on whether it was considered a letter or a large envelope, it only cost them either 68 cents or $1.15 plus the cost of the flimsy little envelope that shouldn't have cost more than 50 cents if that. I think a couple of dollars of what I was charged was a handling fee. Like others have said, everything these people sell has been donated to them, and they are supposed to be helping people who are disadvantaged in some way. They certainly don't need a handling fee, nor do they have any good reason for charging so much more than the cost of the postage and the envelope. They can be a good source for discontinued, vintage items that are rare and hard to find, as long as there isn't much that could be wrong with them (like jewellery in my case) and that's the only thing I've been interested in buying from them, but with their dubious business practices that they seem to have been able to get away with due to being a charity, they are going to alienate more and more customers, I think, judging by the bad reviews here. Many more people probably have bad experiences than actually take the time and trouble to write reviews. At least this time, thanks to the reviews here, I knew better and didn't make anything but the smallest bid at a time so as to try to not invite shill bidding. I'm now starting to use shopgoodwill.com as a source of some available older items and then searching elsewhere for them on websites where the sellers are held more accountable for their actions.

Craftsy was apparently bought by NBC Universal and became Bluprint. I own a great many classes that I mostly bought, a few were free, and since the change some of those classes have been 'retired', which means they no longer sell them, but more importantly, there is no longer any instructor to ask questions of. I also found out that instructors weren't ever even required to reply to questions for more than 2 years, although I know of at least one dedicated one who says he still does but doesn't check his emails as often as before.

Bluprint are trying to appeal to the masses, and the classes they have been producing have gone down in quality and length. I get constant emails from them wanting me to join. I did join for a year but barely watched it, and there were a couple of newer classes that I couldn't bear to watch and had to switch off. One of them had some awful, constant jarring piano music that sounded like a beginning piano student was practising and was very loud as well. The instructor and subject were more in the background than that awful 'music'. The other one had such an annoying instructor that I couldn't stand watching, and these were both subjects I would have otherwise liked to learn. They've changed their policies with how instructors are paid from a percentage of a paid class to minutes viewed as a Bluprint member, which has resulted in less income for the instructors. One of them reported her income from her class with them had been halved, and some instructors have left because of the new arrangements.

Live chat used to connect immediately to a person, but when I had to contact them about something that was missing from a recent order, first I had to answer several questions before they would connect me.

Bluprint seem desperate for members. They have reduced their annual membership fee from $120 to $79.95, sometimes it's $69.95, and at least sometimes they also throw in 12 'own forever' classes and maybe something extra. The other day it was a quilt kit. I'm seriously concerned about what's going to happen with all of my many 'own forever' classes and if/how I can download them before this company ceases trading because I can't see them lasting very much longer, maybe a few years tops. I've recently bought dvds of some of the classes I already own when they've been 'on sale', still expensive for dvds, so I don't have to be online and watching with a computer or tablet. Things being what they are now, I wish I would have just bought the dvds, if they'd been available at the time.

I suppose if I'd had the current options back when I first started buying classes, I would probably join Bluprint for as short a time as possible and then buy the dvds, if available, of the classes I wanted. The way they're running the company now, they might as well not advertise instructor interaction, which for me was the main selling point. In many instances now, you might as well go on youtube.

I'm sad to say that I can no longer recommend this company, although I do sometimes still buy some fabric on sale from them.

I ordered just a few items including fresh pineapple, which was what I most wanted, and the delivery was to take place soon after. Not even an hour later I received the order without the pineapples. How they can advertise them as being in stock and then not have something that common so soon after ordering I don't know.

This is why I don't have any real option other than amazon fresh. As many problems as I have had with them, if something says it is in stock at the time of ordering, especially for same day delivery, it is rare when it isn't, at least in my experience. Unfortunately I'll have to stay with amazon fresh because neither vons.com nor ralphs.com can be trusted to have items that say they're in stock even an hour or 2 after ordering.

This morning I gave vons.com another chance and ordered just a few items that were supposed to be delivered within the next 2 1/2 hours. None of them said they were out of stock. What I have gathered from this experience is that someone who works at the supermarket they use is the person who does the shopping, which makes it even more inexcusable.

I made the mistake of accepting substitutions, the option for different sizes of the same product, which they ignored, and they were all vons store brands. I ordered 3 common frozen vegetables, and they substituted 2 of them with more expensive brands. The organic chicken Italian sausage without casing was replaced by some completely different brand and type of chicken sausage with a tough pork casing. Another thing is that the large pack of spinach had clearly been thawed and refrozen at some point due to frozen lumps of chopped spinach in the bag.

The only good thing I can say was the driver was nice and followed instructions. He arrived about 15 minutes into the 2 hour delivery window. They had the shopping, which was mostly frozen, packed and waiting for the driver, who wasn't there at the time, to come for it, so this could be a real problem if it sits too long, especially in hot weather. Amazon fresh do the same, and there have been many problems with thawed items from them.

What makes this even worse than amazon fresh is that I usually (potentially) get what I order from amazon fresh for same day delivery. It's unusual when something is out of stock. Mistakes and bad food handling are ongoing issues with amazon fresh, and I have to spend $35 minimum, but after this experience with vons.com I think I'll have to continue with amazon fresh.

Update - the next day - Extremely poor service and no communication -The water here tastes so bad and I've got so dehydrated that I decided to look into bottled water and found one that sounded like really good quality. They had some at vons, and I needed some fast.

This was even a worse experience than yesterday. I ordered some and the driver marked it as delivered 33 minutes before he actually delivered it. Since it was nowhere to be seen on my property, I had to go onto customer service who told me they were going to contact the person in charge at the store and they would get back to me to replace the water. I never heard a thing. After contacting customer service and going through all of that hassle I saw 2 bags outside my gate which turned out to be the water. The driver had completely ignored my delivery instructions to bring the water to the front door, and for me right now, in my present physical condition, it is near impossible for me to bend over or pick anything up, especially something heavy like that. I later saw somewhere that the delivery time had been altered to the later time. Words cannot express how bad vons has become.

Update - When I contacted customer service about these 2 experiences, they told me they would refund me for the awful sausage substitution that was made on the first day, but to date that has never happened, and it is now 26 November. Vons now make amazon fresh look good.

I cancelled the free delivery trial of what they call fresh pass. The delivery is by something called door dash. The main problem is the fault of whomever is in charge of doing the shopping there at vons. Door dash just do the delivery part. The tip is supposed to be optional, but nowhere could I see a way to change the percentage that was set by vons or how to delete it altogether, which I think is deliberate. Their help file is wrong, I think deliberately so as well, because it gives completely wrong information on how to cancel fresh pass. I finally found the place to cancel in teeny tiny print down the page instead of at the top as claimed. Vons should be ashamed of themselves for running their delivery scam.

This website will scam you out of your money because I am the only one who has stock, and at a higher price, of my own handmade designs that this website claims to sell. Every time I browse the internet for my own designs, with the intention of seeing if they are showing up on my own website and how high up on google, there are more fly by night scam websites that claim to have them in stock. They have taken them from my amazon listings, and I put my amazon shop on holiday mode 6 months ago with the intention of closing my account there, which means they shouldn't even be showing up there. This is the latest scam website I've found. Last time I didn't bother to post the ones I found because none of these websites last for long before they disappear and are replaced by others that do the same thing, look very similar, and are often run by the same person/people under a different name.

I thought I would see what happened if I put my own designs through the beginning of the checkout process, and I thought it was interesting that the very first thing they want to know is your payment information. They don't even care about your name and address, which is what you're asked for first on a legitimate website. In my experience, the payment always comes later.

I have often heard that alibaba.com is full of counterfeits. Every now and again I search the internet for my own handmade greeting cards just to see what comes up and to see how high my own website comes up in the search. Every time recently I have found yet another scam website claiming to have stock of my cards that only I have possession of. This time I found some of my cards on alibaba.com, probably more than I actually saw, maybe all of my online ones, and the only differences are the price and a place to click on to fill in a form to get quotations. They won't be able to exactly duplicate what I've made, and I am virtually certain that the quality will not even come close if they try. They stole my images and description off of amazon.com when I had them for sale there, but their images are blurry and the whole listing of the one I was looking at is about as schlocky as alibaba are. I suppose that maybe I should be flattered that so many scam websites are stealing my designs, except that none of them have them in stock as they claim nor will they get them from me, and should anybody on alibaba try to duplicate them the buyer will get an inferior product, as well as a stolen design.

I have had an enormous, time-consuming hassle with walmart for the past 3 days trying to return a pair of shoes that I received that day, tried on, found that they didn't fit right, and wanted to return immediately.

It says on the walmart website that returns are by usps and fedex. I clicked on the 'return by mail', expecting to receive a usps return label because fedex is not 'mail'. I received a fedex return label instead that wasn't even in a printable form. I didn't know that until later, though.

I then wasted what seemed like forever on live chat with someone called Fatima who was about as slow as a snail with probably about the same comprehension of English. All I wanted was a usps return label, but she refused to send me one. She was supposed to arrange for fedex to come on Monday but nobody came and the parcel is still sitting here.

I tried to send an email to walmart next. In the past that worked better than live chat and didn't take any more time than sending an email to anyone else. Not now, though. Now they have intermingled chat, phone, and email all together in the chat. I had to make 2 attempts to send an email because the first one was aborted by the live chat butting in. I didn't know that, though, until I got an email asking how someone on live chat did.

I went back and tried to send another email. They don't send the message you write, though, so the person who replies to the email doesn't know what you want. Very helpful. I had to write back to someone who was obviously in India and explain what it was that I wanted. I got an email back from someone else in India who had no comprehension of English and sent me an irrelevant reply that showed that they hadn't even read my previous email. This has turned into another amazon, with the same crap customer service, also in India. I wrote back and said they hadn't even read my email to send me such an irrelevant reply. A while later I got an email saying they had initiated a refund. We'll see.

I have now received an email telling me that the return labels are auto-generated. I wrote back and told them again that fedex is not 'mail', usps is mail, and clicking on 'return by mail' should generate a usps label being sent, not a fedex one. I have told them several times that usps comes to my house every day and fedex doesn't. Being in India, they are clueless. They obviously don't have usps there, I don't know about fedex.

The shoes on walmart.com are cheaper than elsewhere for what are supposed to be the same shoes. I had been planning to try some others because I can't get out right now to try any on, but after this hassle I don't think so. I can't face this happening again.

This website is just another scam that will steal your money. I know this because they stole at least two of my handmade card designs right off of amazon.com, probably more than two of them, and claim to have it in stock and are charging a lower price than mine, so I know they won't be buying it from me to sell on to somebody else. I am the only one who has the stock in my possession.

The first links that come up in a google search for my designs say alumat.pl, but clicking on those takes you to one or other of my designs on lapsmediae.com. I don't know what their relationship is, but they are both frauds.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time this has happened and it probably won't be the last. This website will probably go the same way as the previous one I found who did the same thing, uyausmall.com, which is no longer online. The person/persons behind the latter website had already created another similar website running the same scam, the name of which I can't remember, and it's probably also defunct by now and they've created another one.

Please don't be fooled by this website and lose your money to their scam. You will either receive nothing or something materially different from what you ordered, probably nothing.

Update - When I originally wrote the review for lapsmediae.com just hours ago, there was one of my designs that came up in a google search, but now there is a second one.

I have been trying all week to find someone to take my dog to the vet after being repeatedly let down by the 'service' I had been using. This is one of the websites I have tried to use to find someone. I say tried because you can't just send someone a message. First you have to go through a lot of palaver to create an account and choose what service you need. When you click on contact someone, you can't. A screen comes up asking how many pets you want transported. I clicked on one and it just sat there. There was nothing to click on to progress forward and it didn't do anything by itself. I have tried this several times. I have also messaged support about this 3 times and have heard nothing. The email they send in the beginning to confirm your email address is one of those no-reply ones, although it looks the opposite, so if you try to get help that way it just bounces back to you. Don't even waste your time with these people or their tinpot website. All you'll get is wasted time and a lot of frustration.

This website won't just let you contact a person. First you have to write what is essentially an advert. After you waste a lot of time doing that and click next, thinking that you can now finally contact someone, you can't. Now it asks you for money, $30 a month and more for a longer time, or you can sign up for basic, which is just supposedly to post a job offer, but it says you can only contact someone if you pay first. I am highly doubtful that even my job offer was or will be posted because getting your money is the primary goal of this website.

I just renewed my domains. They have been set not to auto renew from the beginning. I get an email reminder. I have also paid for privacy from the beginning. I accidentally touched the auto renew on one domain which switched it on and then it wouldn't let me switch it back off. When I paid for both, it had switched them both to auto renew. It wouldn't let me switch them off and bounced off the screen before I could even click on it every time I tried.

I tried to get them on live chat on 2 different browsers, but it didn't work, even though it says 24/7, so I had to ring them and wait on hold. When the person finally answered and I told him what happened and asked him to switch the auto renew off, all he did was argue with me that the auto renew was always on because of the privacy, which has not been true for the entire time I have been with them. He told me he'd have to switch off the privacy and refund me for that, which doesn't make sense and which I don't want, and I finally said I wasn't going to argue with him and put the phone down.

I don't want to have my website after my hosting expires next year, and I don't want to have to remember the different dates when the renewals are and get charged and have to hassle with godaddy over it one way or another. That's just one more thing to worry about that I don't need.

Their recording told me that they couldn't wait to exceed my expectations, so I at least didn't expect an argument. My expectation was only that they would switch the auto renewal off and not argue with me about it. I don't think that's too much to ask.
