  • Kong

As all of you GSD owners know-they are toy destroyers! My girl can rip through things in no time flat so we only buy Kong if we want it to last any time. Her bed is a Kong and we use it in her crate and in the car for travel. It is easy to clean and transport-perfect for the Dog on the Go.

  • Netflix

And just like Neck Licks-Netflix is pure pleasure. The original series are some of the best entertainment to be found ANYWHERE! There is always something to watch-its not a bunch of empty channels-you get far more than what you pay for! If you cut the cord-as we have-and want to pay for just one entertainment resource, Netflix is the one to get.

I'm retired and shopping is literally a pain due to a dysfunctional back. That is where Amazon comes in-I can shop for ALL my needs from the comfort of my couch. From paper goods to beauty products-there is something for everyone. If you can't find it locally-search Amazon and chances are it's there.
They really care about customer service and ask for your rating, comments and thoughts about the seller and the product you have purchased. I always rate them as it helps the market place.
Try it, you'll love it too.

The definition of Deluxe: "sumptuous, luxurious, of a superior kind". Birchbox needs to read that definition! The samples I received almost need a magnifying glass to see them. I started the subscription a month ago and they were wonderful to get my first one to me very quickly. My second one came in less than a month-another surprise.
The other surprise in both boxes is that only one sample might be considered "Deluxe"-and that would be a stretch.
I waited until the second box to cancel as I wanted to give them another chance due to the great reviews on other sites.
I had paid for a yearly subscription up front. I should have read the terms and conditions! With a yearly subscription you MUST cancel within a month of ordering or no refund!
It was next to impossible to find out how to unsubscribe-a running theme with Beauty Boxes. If you Google it they give you instructions that sound easy-and they are impossible to complete. I finally got someone from Birchbox on chat and in the end I had to text that I would dispute the charge with my Amex on the grounds that they misrepresent their products. And Viola! It's cancelled.
So far, ipsy and Birchbox are tried and not true-ipsy just puts you on a "wait list" forever so you are paying for product you never get.
The last two yet to be tried are yet to come-and I'm now dreading it.

I sooo wish I had done more research and found this site!
I was sick and had time on my hands and my credit card number memorized. So what's a girl to do? Shop!
I found a list of beauty boxes on Flipboard and decided to give it a whirl.
I ordered ipsy and Birchbox. Birchbox sent me a box asap-and I loved it for $10. With ipsy, I got an email telling me I'm on a "waiting list". Seriously?! Why do you offer your product and then say you don't have it!
I got an email that my second Birchbox was on its way and that's when I decided enough. I went to my account-as prescribed by them if you want to cancel and I couldn't get it done! It would take a book to explain all that went wrong and I could not get it cancelled. So, I contacted ipsy "no customer service"-a complete run around. After sending an email asking them to unsubscribe me-I get an email back saying it might be days. And on and on.
I finally got in touch with American Express and found that they had put the $110 charge through so I not only disputed the charge-I paid $9 to a third party company to get it cancelled. I could have waited for Amex to do it and I'm so fed up I wanted it over NOW! It is finally cancelled.
Lesson learned-reasearch!

The majority of their toys are reliable, but the newer, squeaky ones are easy to disassemble....
