About Me

If you have a question about any company that I have reviewed, please feel free to ask me. I love helping others. It is something that I have always done. I served in the Navy for over 10 years. I have helped people on the internet for many years. I have started writing reviews. I'm not paid to do this. I just want people to know which companies are good and which to avoid.

How I Can Help

I have a varied background but I currently shop for high quality merchandise at the best price. I rarely have to pay full price for anything and I always buy the best. I know all of the ins and outs. I don't like scams at all. I report scammers to authorities--federal and state. I will be happy to help you if you run into a problem. I can be very convincing when it comes to receiving help from companies or officials. If you want me to checkout a company, let me know.

Interests

I love the internet, bargain shopping, my family, my cats, the good job sites, and free help sites.

I have to keep the coffeemaker that my daughter gave me because it was a Christmas present but it is the worst coffeemaker I have ever owned and I'm 62. First, its cord is too short. When I pull it out to add the coffee, I can barely get it to where I can open the top. Second, the top is inconvenient. When I try to pour the water in, I have a hard time going around all of the plastic at the top. Third, it doesn't even heat well. I have to microwave the coffee after it is made to make it hot and I am not talking boiling hot, I am saying normal hot.

Who designed this coffeemaker? It is awful.

Tip for consumers:
DON'T BUY THIS COFFEEMAKER!!

Products used:
CM0750S coffeemaker.

  • Zulily

I love Zulily! I have ordered quite a bit from them. It's like shopping without paying money because the prices are so low. You won't find expensive top designers but you will find good quality and brand names at an excellent price. After all of the shopping I have done in the last couple of years, I know that this is very hard to do. I look for the best quality that I can find at the best prices. Zulily has this and it has a lot of items to choose from. They have always shipped my purchases quickly. I receive them within a week. I have never had any problems with them. I will keep shopping at Zulily.

  • eBay

12/23/19

I have shopped at Ebay for many years. However, lately there have been countless problems. First, I bought flea collars which turned out to be counterfeit because they are not authorized on Ebay (I checked with the manufacturer). I let Ebay know. They told me to send them every link of the counterfeit items or they would not do anything about it. There are hundreds. Then, I tried to buy a few clothing items which were marked at a certain price. After I chose my size and color, the price went up to almost double. There are also many jewelry items falsely described. They say 14k gold, diamonds or Moissanite, etc. They aren't. I know because they are too inexpensive (I love good jewelry and buy a lot of it). They are actually cubic zirconia and cheap metal. Also, you have to choose certified jewelry to buy the real thing. I trust almost nothing that Ebay sells. I only buy things which I can tell are genuine at the price shown. I would not even trust that Ebay's down coats really have down. I would not buy a down coat or many other items on Ebay. My pictures below will prove these statements.

  • Wish

12/2/19

I bought several pieces of jewelry from wish.com. The stones were stated to be Moissanite, diamond, white sapphire, pink sapphire, and ruby. Some were stated to be natural gemstones. The metals were stated to be 925 sterling silver and 18k white gold.

After I purchased them, I went back to review more carefully. I knew that the prices were way too low to be genuine. I found out that there are two descriptions. One is at the top of the page and shows the main description. The other is underneath the reviews, way at the bottom of the page. At the bottom, some still claim to be natural or high quality gemstones and metals but others state that they are cz/cubic zircon, silver plated or "stamped" 925 which means to me that they are not actually 925 sterling silver. Also, if you search 18k or 24k gold, you will find that the lower description states "1. Surface Material: High Quality Solid 24K Gold, 2. Base Material: Bronze " among other things. Some gold is also tagged 18k or 24k although it is plated.

Basically, all of the upper jewelry descriptions are misstated. This entices shoppers to purchase jewelry which they believe to be high quality but, in reality, is not.

Additionally, if you try to buy other types of merchandise, you will find that the price is higher after you select your size and color and place it in the shopping cart. I called wish to ask why this was the case. The CS rep. Told me that each item was sold by different vendors. So, after I choose my particular item, it will possibly be another price. This is also deceptive.

It also bothers me that wish.com places icons below many items which state:
"Verified by Wish Shoppers"
"Product consistently receives high satisfaction ratings from our shoppers"

Additionally, although there are bar graphs showing a few too small or too large (no other problems), all of the reviews are positive. There are absolutely no negative comments posted anywhere on the website.

There are a few honest sellers on wish who describe their merchandise correctly but they are very few.

Overall, wish.com is very deceptive. To me, they are committing fraud through deceptive advertising or trade practices.

  • Tablecloths Factory

11/11/19

I have never seen a place like Table Cloths Factory before and I shop all of the time. I found wonderful products at amazing prices. In fact, I bought beautiful, disposable dishes for my daughter who loves to entertain. I have never seen disposables as pretty as what is sold at Table Cloths Factory. I will definitely check back often to see what they have new and I will use them to buy presents for various people for different occasions. Thank you Table Cloths Factory!
