This is actually a fun and addictive website to shop on. I already knew what to anticipate as I've seen a lot of these products for the same price on eBay. The biggest thing to expect is long shipping times because most of the stuff comes from China. I've ordered male clothing and home accessories and the items were exactly as described. However, I can't say the same for every single product. Research your product and check out the customer images. It'll give you a better idea of what you'll get. If you're ordering clothes, I'd generally size up because for women t-shirts, I've ordered XL and received what is the equivalent of a USA Medium despite following their size chart.

Some of the pictures like a cat plush I saw was cute in the product photographs, but the customer images showed a bad imitation of the original product where the details are missing and the product was cheaply made. I also purchased a makeup accessory and it never arrived.

Overall, I would make small purchases here because I really like the website and how they collect interesting items. However, as I said early, be weary of your purchases because not everything will look like what it does in the product images. Anticipate long shipping times and try not to purchase anything expensive as it might be hard to get your money back. Quality is hit or miss. And forget about returns; they seem to advertise returns as if it's a quick step, but it's not.

Trulia should take down fake/spam listings. I've responded to so many apartment ads I found and they're either bots or shady brokers that use bait-and-switch or claim the unit isn't available anymore. It's shocking that after making an attempt to report these fakes, this company still allows postings of units that don't even exist. I shared contact and personal information with strangers for nothing.

I found Everlane through a few Instagram ads. I jumped wagon and loved how simple their website is, the transparency of goods, imagery of the factories and ethical sources, and the cut cost of the middle-man. They have styles that I have not seen on other brands, such as the shape of their flats, and the cut on a lot of their tees.

I don't believe that their middle-man story is true. And a white tee is $25, which in my standards, still feels quite expensive for the fabric. Each and every top I purchased had fabric that is super thin and see-through. I can vouch that Madewell sells tops and tees for around the same price, but the quality in comparison is much better. Plus, their stated traditional retail cost sounds ridiculous.

Lastly, returns are a nightmare. You could try returning to their NYC store, but the lines are terrible and they make you wait outside in a line to prevent "overcrowding" in the store. So pretentious.

I made an account here because a company that I tried to apply to work for decided that it was MANDATORY to insert a LinkedIn profile in the application. Ever since I made one, I disabled communications on it, and yet coincidentally, I've been receiving job spam on my email consistently. I have to unsubscribe them to stop.

Prior to making an account, I used to get email from people saying they want to connect despite me not ever having an account on LinkedIn. Not only was this annoying, but it didn't make me feel that great about LinkedIn to begin with. Even after making the account, I feel like it has absolutely no use. I'm giving a third party all this information about myself. I like my manual resume and I don't like LinkedIn.

I still kept the account because (1) everywhere asks for it and (2) yes, there are some pros about LinkedIn. Despite being a seemingly failed version of Facebook, it still provides connects to possibly employment. I've seen many places hiring (relating to my field!) However, I wouldn't pay to use this website.

Looking for places to rent here is a nightmare. I can't tell if it's from Zillow's end or from the seller/agent's end, but no listings are ever accurate, never make sense, or ever detailed enough. I've seen listings with no images at all, all capitalized text which is difficult to read, inaccurate information about the neighborhood, careless sloppy descriptions, etc. If you're going to copy and paste descriptions here, at least proofread your stuff. Also, this isn't a roommates website. I'm sick of viewing listings with reasonable prices, only to find the cost is for a SINGLE BEDROOM for a roommate.

Zillow should seriously be moderating these listings and push people to be more specific. Providing no square footage, no images, or a single blurry picture of the rental's floor isn't going to help anyone.

Also, I've been bait and switched so many times. I feel like it should be against the rules for agents to post potential listings for rent, but when you call them up, they try to take down your info to find you other apartments that aren't the one they listed. On top of that, some listings are described as no-fee or don't mention broker fees until you waste your time viewing the apartment to find out last minute that indeed, there's fees charged.

Website is a little outdated but I was willing to tolerate it for the low prices and variety of items. The problem is that several items I tried to purchase didn't have any indications of being sold out (some were actually "restocked"). But when I order it, I get a call from an unknown number with customer service telling me that the product is out of stock after waiting about a week or two.

I don't mind the call, but I would've just preferred an email. It just felt odd to get a call from a random number at a random time, with them telling you something you tried to buy weeks earlier is not available. Also the shipping cost is really high. I saved this website for years in case I ever needed anything from them. Turns out the only thing I needed has been out of stock the past 2 years. Might as well not even list it anymore. I ended up buying the item I needed most elsewhere.

Very disappointed. People who are 20+ years older than me always raved about LL Bean. I live in a very busy city and the nearest store is upstate, about a 2 hour drive. I ordered online a few years ago, and the jeans were so large that I could fit two of myself in it (despite getting the size that is supposed to be my size). Returned it.

Weeks ago, I ordered a jacket, again, it was my size, but it fit like four sizes larger. Called them up and they helped me reorder a smaller size. Again, still too large. How is this even possible? In any case, I understand if I'm returning an item and I pay return shipping. But paying return for an exchange is SO unheard of (from my experience). I ended up having to return both jackets which total cost me $6.95 x 2. Both of them arrived at their warehouse weeks ago and I have yet to see a refund. Read online from other people that it takes up to 4 weeks or more. Never purchasing from their website again. Instead, I'll find that rare occasion to visit the store when I'm near one, then see items in person.

And mind you, the items were shipped back the same day they arrived. I spared no time in getting it back as soon as possible for a refund. Since its been a while, I know it'll happen some time, but it's just extremely SLOW, so it doesn't make me feel THAT great about their service. If they process thousands of returns daily, I get it, but they're making it our problem more than theirs. Also, their sizes are so strange and inconsistent that you'll end up spending a lot of money back and forth returning and exchanging. I should've learned my lesson the first time. Unfortunately, I will no longer shop on LL Bean's website.

Also, I respect their recent policy change due to a lot of people abusing the system. However, the high prices of the clothes no longer reflect the lifetime policy. I'm perfectly fine with a 365 return, but I would want the prices to reflect that. As in be lower.

I'm reviewing as a seller. I found this and figured it'd be a good way to sell my items faster since I have them listed on eBay and Poshmark. Unlike the two other platforms, Mercari doesn't allow listing items from the desktop computer. I don't get why. I would have to transfer images to my phone just to upload on the app. It also won't let me copy and paste product titles or descriptions. Then the app refreshes too quickly, that when I upload images and leave the app to get more information, the app closes the "listing" window. Plus, this would just encourage sellers to make errors since it's hard to work with the small device, at least in my opinion.

You can only upload FOUR images of your item! FOUR is not enough. I would say the low fees and shipping options are the only reason why it's better than Poshmark. Only allowing four images is definitely going to encourage problems with potential buyers. They won't get the idea of an item just from four measly pictures. Sorry, but I rather not risk having every other problem everyone else here seems to have. Mercari has potentials but some of these things need to change.

I ordered from them just to avoid FashionNova, and I regret making such an impulse purchase. When I saw "Fast Shipping & Easy Return On All Orders Fully Tracked" on their site, I was impressed. But, I found out last minute that their return policy is no full refund, return shipping is on you (which is fine), but you only get store credit back (which is NOT fine). I contacted them within 5 minutes of placing the order to see if I can cancel, and they purposely ignored my email for days, then shipped out my package anyway. Again, I take that as my loss and mistake.

But to this day, I have yet to hear from them to reply to at least tell me "sorry we can't cancel the order". While the package did come 2-3 days as they advertised, I'm never purchasing from here again. If you're familiar with Aphrodite jeans and don't mind a store-credit-only return policy, shop here. They do ship fast. Otherwise, steer clear; their business model is like FashionNova and they are only known from Instagram, nowhere else. If you expect decent customer service and a shopping experience like a real retailer, you won't find it here.

I came across Monotiques when I was watching YouTubers. They were obviously given these jeans for free to promote them because not a single one of them mentioned the store-credit only return policy. Oh, and the website shows the jeans zoomed in at the pockets as if the pockets exist. I bought 4 pairs and not a single one had real front pockets and it's not stated anywhere on the product's description.

I saw Blue Apron's ads on TV, and their marketing is absolutely gorgeous. Everything about it made it look so homely and fun, therefore when I received their discounts or gift cards in the mail, I was always tempted to make an order. I once got a $30 gift card that was supposed to cover (from what I remember) one week or one box.

But there was a minimum that requires me to purchase double the amount, therefore I couldn't use the gift card on its own. On top of that, inputting your payment information would require you to subscribe to them which I didn't want. I wouldn't have mind paying any shipping fees, but luring people to subscribe for a monthly box is just ridiculous.

So like I said, I have tried to give Blue Apron a chance being a new customer because I thought the concept was cool, and their marketing effort made this look like a terrific idea. However, the way they lure people into subscriptions is just really bad. You can't even have a one time offer just to see how the service is. On top of that, their gift cards never cover fully for their product, yet they consistently send me gift cards in the mail. Again, I'd pay the shipping and processing, but I would never pay for a subscription just to use a "gift".

Don't get me wrong, I use Indeed to look for work and it's free for me. Therefore, I don't want anyone to think that I'm being harsh because I expect too much. However, since it functions as a platform for work, it could use some improvement. I like how simple the interface is, but again, it's difficult to look for what you need when you actually need something specific.

Problem 1: While some of this may be the fault of employers/recruiters, it would be nice for Indeed to add the functionality: attachments. Since I see posts with absolutely no contact email, it's impossible to do what they ask: attach a PDF or attach a manual/custom cover letter. They also ask for a portfolio link for art/design, which can be added to your Indeed or custom resume, but it doesn't ensure that the employer will actually check it from there.

Problem 2: Please, please, PLEASE allow people to sort or unsort "external" jobs. It's really frustrating to click on jobs and they lead to an external website where it requires you to make ANOTHER account just to apply for a job that you may not even get! Which means you'd be inputting personal information for nothing! Honestly, having external links is a bit misleading because you assume that you're applying from Indeed.

Problem 3: PLEASE, please, please make an option for employers to separate their skills requirements. This is a fault of recruiters. Many of them hire base on hiring you to do more than one thing and still give you one job's compensation. For example, if you are an IT, they would expect a requirement to be web development. If you're a graphic designer, they expect you to know video editing. Please, people, no one knows everything and these types of posts are the reason why people have problems finding work. Indeed.com, please allow anyone to sort out these types of work somehow.

Other than these issues, Indeed.com is a decent platform/website for both sides (employer and job seekers). Again, since it's free, I don't want to sound demanding, but at the same time, I hope my suggestions improve the way the website works.

Update: 04/17/17

Indeed contacted me through message and suggested an advanced search that seemed promising, however, after some attempts, it wasn't very useful. With the specifications I used, I ended up with a result of 1 job that wasn't even in my area (which was strange).

I also recently spoke to someone I know who also have been using Indeed.com for almost six months. I have been using it for five months. Neither of us have gotten replies from any employers/recruiters. The only ONE single reply I did receive was from a company that denied me anyway, saying I wasn't qualified, although I met all their qualifications, requirements and skills they stated in their post with actual portfolio work and experience to prove it. I honestly feel like I waste so much time here. I received more replies on Craigslist with actual jobs, which is strange because Craigslist is meant to be more suspicious. Nevertheless, I feel like I'm giving my data away for nothing. My experience has made me feel great discouragement.

Again, Indeed.com's website is fine on its own but the overall experience of finding work, or maybe even posting jobs, it seems to be need a lot of improvement.

I've used IMDB for over ten years and I always used the message boards as a way to find answers on movies. IMDB has decided to remove the message boards deeming it pointless and that it adds nothing resourceful. I don't agree and many people don't either. Now that the website has gotten rid of the boards, it's impossible to discuss or find answers to movies, especially independent movies and lesser known movies.

Therefore, it makes this website a little less resourceful than it was before. It gives accurate information for movies. Other than that, people will no longer have reason to visit this website. The most you can do is look at movies, upcoming films and what actors are in what films. I'm sure with the message boards gone, IMDB has lost traffic. I'm really disappointed. I always thought IMDB would be the most popular and permanent solution to movie discussions with other people, but I guess not. FAQs for films are helpful, but not as helpful as the message boards were.

I watch HSN quite often. A lot of the products are helpful, convenient, sometimes gimmicky and most just junk. I ordered from them several times and haven't had any big issues with the service or products. My last order was the Bell + Howell Ultrasonic Pest Repeller. I was stupidly led to think this product would work because of the demonstration. Well, it doesn't work. Not for any sort of pest. Not even the ones mentioned on the show. The ticking light and sound is also not as "quiet" as they made it sound. It's actually really annoying at night.

Regardless, I didn't bother returning the item after having it for so long. It also took over a month for the item to even ship out from whatever warehouse was in. This was just my last experience that wasn't well, but I haven't had any other issues.

I've used several different design programs and in those years, I found Photoshop to be the only efficient one. Starting at Photoshop 6, I slowly made small upgrades between the programs when affordable. Yes, I agree, the standalone was expensive. However, people are in denial claiming that the subscription base is better. Think about it this way: you're paying them $50 a month for the rest of your life. Every year, that's $600 out your pocket and you don't even have the actual program that you own because CC is cloud-based.

And please don't tell me it's only $20 a month. That option is for students. Once your time is over, you're at the regular price, which sadly, for beginners, fresh graduates, or struggling freelancers, it's really a kick in the face. On top of that, if you don't wan't the latest updates or upgrades, you are still forced to pay whether you want them or not.

Don't get me wrong, I use plenty of Adobe's software. They're great. They've been getting overly bloated, but the tools are amazing and very useful. Adobe CC has its benefits too, but at the price of $50 a month, it's not worth many people's money. The only time it'll be worth it, is if you use at least 5 of the applications on a daily basis and want the newest version every time they release. That's why people either pirate their software or stick with Adobe CS6 which is the last non-subscription version. If this is the case, Adobe is only hurting themselves.

The service itself is decent. I agree with other reviewers that it's quite expensive. Probably even more expensive than borrowing digital books. I was tempted to sign up for the 30 day trial but when I saw I had to input credit card information, I skipped it. Instead, with my Amazon Prime membership, I chose to listening to the free channels that supposedly a $60/year cost.

While the channels are interesting, Audible doesn't make access to listening very easy. First off, you can't listen to Audible on a Mac. They have complicated steps on how to stream your books through iTunes but doesn't seem to be available for channels. Second, the website offers nothing except links to download the app on various devices and platforms. Browsing on the website feels weird and awkward because you can't stream anything from there anyway. Thirdly, there is such thing as web-based streaming; Spotify has it. Amazon Music has it. Audible, for some reason, does not.

Therefore, you are forced to download an app onto your mobile device just to listen to stuff. So if you're on your desktop or laptop most of the times, and don't have your eyes glued to your phone all day, it's impossible to streamline your workflow because you have to use two devices. On top of that, apps nowadays are so untrustworthy; ready to spy on you, asking for access to everything, and probably even secretly phishing your information.

Again, the service itself is a fantastic idea. The user interface on the app is alright. However, you are so limited in terms of functionality and simple desktop availability. Without Amazon Prime for the free channels, the cost for simply listening to books is quite high and frankly, not worth my time or money. If you don't mind the price, or using only an app on your phone or tablet, Audible is for you. Also, watch out for the automated charge after 30 days. Although I'm aware of it, many people aren't.

I created an Ebates account under the impression of earning back a small amount of money. Their commercials presented women who claim to have earned hundreds of dollars back. While I'm entirely satisfied with the way the website has worked for me, it's not worth my time. Frankly, it's probably not worth many people's time. If you shop at places (as other reviewers mention) such as Amazon, Target, or even Rite Aid, you won't find any cash back. Or the cash back is for very specific categories that you'll probably won't find yourself purchasing from.

Again, I'm entirely fine with it since sign up was free and I'm not in a place to demand anything. However, seeing that I saved $0.04 from shopping at a store, or $0.30 at American Eagle, it's not even worth my time to log in and remember to "activate" my shopping session. I don't bother using Ebates anymore. This was just my experience. And honestly, Ebates here seem to have a ton of reviewers (a lot more than many websites rated here), and a lot of the reviews seem fake and suspicious to me. It doesn't inspire confidence to trust a company that needs to make fake accounts to write fake customer service reviews (which is weird because how often do people actually review eBates for customer service rather than the actual service?) Hmmm.

I had numerous different experiences using Grubhub and some been good. However, maybe Grubhub should explain how the service works when customers order. I ordered a sandwich and a pastry from a deli. The sandwich's egg was spicy by default which I think should've been an option not something default. They got me the wrong drink, gave me the wrong pastry and added a random item to my order.

Perhaps restaurants shouldn't list food on the menu that they always never have? I contacted Grubhub about the missing pastry that cost me $4.50 and they claimed to follow up with me about it and never did. It's been almost three years since I notified Grubhub of the issue. Never heard from them again.

Yes, I still use the service. But only when I'm extremely desperate. If I don't want to tip a driver, I simply won't order food or pick it up myself. This service is not worth my money. The drivers are sometimes rude, the order is sometimes wrong or mixed up, and the wait time is ridiculous. Plus, the order total is about $20 all the time for just one meal if you consider the restaurant's minimum, tax and tips or "fees". Don't forget that these delivery fees don't even go to the driver, which is even more ridiculous.

I keep my Facebook account only for marketing and for potential clients. Other than that, this website breeds nothing but annoyance. In fact, Facebook is like the Tumblr of adults where everyone wants to have a say in social and political issues, but can't express it in a nicer way. When used inappropriately, this website just touches the highest point of bullying, harassment and humiliation.

On top of that, Facebook wants access to everything of yours, so if you're a private person, you should probably post less about yourself. They read your private messages, look at your sent photographs, and uses your account to access other websites' social plug-ins in order to target advertisements to you. Is it creepy enough that products I don't ever mention to anyone or anything on Facebook somehow pops up after I use it in real life? Are they using global surveillance on me or something?

Don't even get me started with their iPhone apps. Every week is an unnecessary update that makes the product worse and worse. Facebook also doesn't have a sense of privacy. They notify all my friends publicly about events on I'm interested and what I post into other public group, and they also destroyed the algorithm for the news feed so now I get almost no views of my photography. The Trending panel is also an annoying feature that I despise. I honestly don't care if a celebrity decided to get naked for a magazine or a video went viral because it was so "cute".

Lastly, like another reviewer said, Facebook all of the sudden seems to reject their own policies on pornography. I've reported many porn images and a lot of explicit sexually related content and none of them ever get deleted. They would just tell me "oh, sorry, we looked at this and decided it didn't match what reported, thanks for letting us know anyway". They ignore their own rules about violations.

I know Flickr has been the biggest photo sharing website popular to photographers. I'm a casual photographer and I had to sign up for this when I took a course in digital photography. First, I'm not too happy about having to sign up with Yahoo just have to a Flickr account. It's like what Google pulls people to do with having a Gmail and a Google Account.

Second, the navigation is complicated and confusing, in my personal experience. It's really hard to navigate and the batch organizer looks really outdated. It's like you could go to the same page in two different ways for no reason. Deleting photographs or editing data on it is hard to find and also could be done in multiple obscure ways.

I'm deleting my account right after my photography course is over.

If you don't mind your cards coming out with tiny dots (that look like pixels) on your text then Vista Print overall is ok. Otherwise, I'd pay more for a better print. I was doing a two-color business card on both sides and the text was horrible. As said above, it looked like there were tiny white dots in the text. The posters come out nice but they're on VERY thin paper. VistaPrint is just affordable. If you go with their standard products, don't expect it to be great quality work. I'm just a bit butt-hurt that I typed a review explaining the quality of their business cards, and they rejected the review even though there are tons of one star reviews with non-sense words or text, and yet those were approved. So what's the point of letting your customers submit a review for a verified purchase if you're going to ignore it?
