This website is a scam website. Their address in USA is a fake. It's the same address being used by the parent company for another brand called Lit Activewear. Both Chinese drop shipping websites selling horrible quality products. I'm very disappointed that these people have the nerves to create and fake a black-owned business and then profit off the movement and the black community. It's so messed up to the point where no one should support this type of shadiness. Stay away!

Beware! I was just about to checkout a very expensive wall clothing hook (with the color balls on the ends) and a vintage-inspired trunk on this website until I did research and found out they actually buy from Etsy sellers and other wholesalers and jack the price up of the items more than 2-3x. The style and quality of the items were exactly the same. Only difference was I found mine for $45, and I almost got ripped off by Dot & Bo and buy it for $89. Along with their long shipping times, this website is not worth it at all. By the time the item is delivered to you, you're either going to be disappointed or disinterested. If you find something you like, make sure you research the item and put in similar keywords on Google, Etsy, etc. You will buy directly from the artist and save more than half.

[From the time this review was written :] Dot & Bo also asks you to enter your email in order to browse their website which is incredibly shady. It's almost like Zulily which also, offers average quality items, takes a while to ship, no returns, but good prices. Despite entering email and being spammed everyday with newsletters, Dot & Bo isn't offering any discounts. Don't get lured it by their "sales". They are NOT sales. They just simply send you emails showcasing several expensive items that look like they're good prices. There is no reason for them to ask for your email unless they offer great prices which they don't. Please do not be fooled! I honestly thought the website was really cute and I wanted to purchase from it, but it's a good thing I didn't. They curate and collect great items, but their resell prices are outrageous and to wait that long for such an expensive item is poor service (in my opinion).

I know this sounds like I'm exaggerating, but everything I purchased from Apple has not once failed me. I was always a Windows PC user and an Android user in the beginning. Although I think that these platforms have their benefits, almost every product I purchased failed me in one way or another.

However, I have purchased 5 iPads, 3 MacBooks, 1 iMac, and 5 iPhones since 2011 and NONE of them ever failed on me for any reason. I have had no issues and everything just worked. When I had a problem with my first MacBook upon receiving it in the mail, I took it to the store and they replaced it immediately. I love that I could just go to the store and have it fixed rather than pay and have it shipped back to a company warehouse for fixing.

Customer service at every Apple store I went to was very friendly and helpful. Their extended warranty prices are high though. I think the prices for the products are fair for how they perform. Their peripherals could use some work though. The Magic Mouse 2 and several other items are made poorly. They always shipped my items to me safely and ordering online was never a problem. The refurbished items also perform well and are a great bargain. And, they take returns on even custom builds with no questions asked and no restock fees. Overall, I haven't had issues with Apple. I'm quite pleased with them.

I sell on this website but never bought and don't plan to. I use Poshmark along eBay to give my listings more exposure, in order to clear my inventory faster. I gave this platform several chances in the past, but sold absolutely nothing, and only had beggars, lowballs and trade requests. I gave it a chance again, and this time, I did make sales. I give extremely accurate detailed descriptions of my items including when I got it, why I don't want it, down to measurements of it to even listing the materials.

I had all 5 star reviews up until recently where one buyer gave me 3 stars and said the item isn't a medium, despite the tag on the pants saying Medium, AND I gave waist, hip, thigh and inseam measurements. She actually had the item for three weeks before she gave me this poor rating. She also said my description was poor, but when I went on her page, NONE of her 180 listings showed ANY sort of specific details on her items.

Another buyer purchased my item without contacting me in ANY way, but gave me a 2 star review saying my communication could've been better. What? While the star reviews aren't public, it's just disturbing and annoying that people say the dumbest things with absolutely no way to counter or defend myself.

Some buyers are the worst and they are consistently spiteful. I end up having to block and decline people all day. On top of that, 20% fee commission to Poshmark is outrageous, along with $6 shipping. Neither the buyer or seller are benefiting from this!

If you don't like the price of the item, make an offer. If you're declined, then forget it. Don't buy it. If you don't like that the seller doesn't offer detailed descriptions, just don't buy it. Read all descriptions carefully and ask questions. No response from seller? Don't buy it. This advice could save so much trouble.

Once I'm done selling all my unwanted stuff, I would never use this platform again. I rather use eBay because at least people there READ descriptions before purchasing. And I have 100s of transactions on eBay with not a single neutral or negative feedback. I can't believe Poshmark allows a buyer to leave a bad rating over something that was their own fault.

I was using Nitroflare since it first came out. It was known to be quick and inexpensive. Now, I realized they capped the maximum bandwidth to an extremely low number which makes it impossible to use it even for design files such as Photoshop PSDs. Whoever thought 25GB is a good limit must be insane, not even enough for a few high quality videos. On top of that, the cost is the same as it was before. Now, I'm just sitting here waiting for the next day just to download a few PSD files. Extremely inconvenient. If you download less than 25GB a day on average, then this file host service is for you. However, everyone I know who uses this exceeds that limit at least half the monthly. Bottom line, if they're going to lower the daily bandwidth, then the cost per month should also be lower. I also wouldn't have been mad about the capped download limit had they mentioned it. But I stupidly purchased an account not knowing they made that change. It isn't stated anywhere when purchasing either. I won't be using them for large files anymore.

As an update, I thought my spam stopped but instead, I notice it went into my spam box. My once clean spam box is now filled when it was untouched for years. And they're all the same job and recruitment emails that are repetitive, suspicious and give absolutely NO easy way to unsubscribe. Not only did the emails NOT stop, but they also have my full name on it too. So now these people also know my name. That's great. Thanks a lot, CareerBuilder.

I have an account here along with Trustpilot because I do believe reviews in multiple places will help people avoid a bad situation if possible or to check the legitimacy of companies nowadays.

However, Trustpilot has a low level of authenticity and I believe that they don't care about how ethical the business owners really are. I've been scammed by some fake guru who said he would help me with my small business. He charged thousands of dollars which I can no longer get back and I found out that hundreds (or even thousands) of people unfortunately trusted this guy and also got scammed.

The guy's Trustpilot page has over 2000 reviews, almost 99% of them are positive, very fake and mostly poorly written reviews that don't even explain what he does. Instead, most of it is gibberish spam or talks about what a "nice guy" the scammer is. Meanwhile, all the legitimate negative reviews of people who got scammed were taken down except for very few of them, hence this scammer is able to keep his Trustpilot at nearly 5 stars.

I've tried reporting this numerous times to Trustpilot and even tried to contact them via email to their headquarters in my city. I was ignored. Many people also reported this scammer's other business page on Trustpilot. Trustpilot temporarily labeled the business page being "suspicious", but shortly after, it was fixed. Yet the primary business page of this scammer is still posting up fake positive reviews and scamming people while Trustpilot does nothing about it. It's getting to the point where I think this scammer pays Trustpilot too.

FYI: The worst part of all is that if you try to leave a review for this scammer, they make you show a receipt of your transaction and when you do, you might get hit with a cease&desist for violating a "NDA" and Trustpilot eventually will remove your review anyway.

Beware. While fake reviews are everywhere, I should've been more careful. Instead, I naively believed Trustpilot's ethics and stupidly believed all the positive reviews on this fake guru's page. After that, I even gave the fake guru (not knowing he was a fake at the time) a chance to explain the suspicious behavior of his Trustpilot page, only for him to BS me which I also naively believed. Then, I got ripped off and I can't even leave him a bad review there because he might try to sue for defamation.

[Edit] Trustpilot flagged a review because the company, Cloudflare reported it being as fake. Keep in mind, I've written over 90 reviews on Trustpilot in the past with absolutely no issues.

Again, I understand that having genuine review is important but get real. It's the internet. There's people everywhere who write fake positive and negative reviews. It sucks and as business owner myself, I've dealt with this many times too. However, Trustpilot flags any review a company "feels like" flagging because they don't want negative reviews. Then Trustpilot asks you to submit screenshots and details and to verify yourself. Why does someone have to share their real name and all their personal info to write a review? Maybe not everyone wants to be known and they shouldn't have to. Trustpilot is asking to lose reviewers at this point because 90% of people on the platform aren't verified and probably don't care enough to be. Trustpilot has sold itself out basically.

THANKFULLY, I didn't order tons of tops as I know based on the price range, the fabric or fit would probably be poor quality or start pilling. Here's what I got:

2 Corduroy Pants: It was thin but not a bad thing as now I can wear them in the summer. The hardware was flimsy and an ugly silver but no one sees it but me.
One Tank: Didn't realize it had ribbing and didn't realize it was a tie-back one so it came all wrinkle. Material was bad.
1 Men's T-Shirt: It's a stretchy solid material as opposed to a soft 100% cotton tee.
Sunglasses: Surprisingly good quality, but the case it came with was cheap and ugly (which is fine).
Hat: Hat also good quality.

The returns are expensive and from what I know, they shipped from overseas and would put the responsibility of YOU to pay for the insurance of the package. Anybody who complains about the quality of the items isn't being reasonable, in my opinion. The website sells clothing for very low prices and the fact that they provide promos and discount codes, tells you that the clothing can go for even cheaper. There was nowhere that I could've found a pair of corduroy pants for $13, maybe except a thrift shop so this website is great for people who aren't looking for pricey staple pieces.

The shopping experience is good, a lot of variety of items, love the fact that you can sort reviews by users who upload images, but it's a HIT OR MISS scenario. For some reason, their website shows two identical orders of mine but one was cancelled. One of my pants was shipped separately with only a notification email. There was no tracking and that pants was missing in the order invoice on the website. Had I not gotten an email confirmation about these pants, I don't think there was any more proof that I actually ordered them. I got my package in a very timely manner (within 7 days) so no complaints there but I don't think I'd order from this website again.

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 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 want to say that I've been a user of Pinterest for many years just for design inspiration. I have thousands and thousands of pins in numerous boards, including sharing secret boards with groups from my university. The new Pinterest is a pain.

1. On the Apple device apps, you can no longer move a pin from a secret board to another secret board. This was not previously the case. It's still an option that is available on the desktop version, but not the apps? And the apps also crash consistently rendering it almost useless and frustrating while browsing. With app updates every two weeks, they're only making Pinterest worse by moving functions around, making users have to scavenge to find options.

2. The "suggested pins" and advertisements are extremely out of hand. It was tolerable once but now my home feed is almost more advertisements and suggested pins that are just not relevant to me in ANY way at all. Plus some of them are beyond ridiculous, advertising me club/party dresses with a provocative mirror selfie image as the pin. Are you serious? I don't follow anything related to that kind of content. I spent more time trying to get rid of these things than viewing my own things.

3. The new interface is so ugly and confusing. Just to simply "log out" which should've been obvious on the top right corner ends up with a user having to go to their profile > icon with three dots > sign out. Really?

4. Pinterest is like Tumblr. You cannot browse content unless you have an account. Since I have an account already, I don't mind, but it's inconvenient for others who don't wish to make an account.

Sooner or later, it'll just be easier for me to download all the Pins locally to folders on my computer. I only need the visual image, not the URLs, so it's probably easier for me. If Pinterest can't even get themselves corrected, I can't trust them managing my thousands of pins.

I was pressured to sign up for this in college. I was going to recommend this to a few of my friends because I thought the concept is great for designers who want to make money. However having it for a few weeks, it's nothing but an additional necessary headache that I don't want anyone to endure, not even people I despise.

A lot of requests there have very fast turnover rates, in that case, it would be difficult to come up with something breathtaking in two days. With that being said, you could follow what the customer or client wants and they would still tell you they don't like it. I didn't like the rating concept nor do I appreciate seeing other people creating designs similar to mine after viewing mine.

If you want to make money, seriously network and find real clients who aren't jerks like this. This website is so difficult to work with especially if you don't see your client on the other end. Constructive criticism isn't even the word used to describe how a design can get a poor rating because the client fails to see what THEY want themselves.

The contests idea is pretty cool until you realize you submit work to them numerous times and haven't made a single buck in weeks. It's a waste of time. Seriously, don't bother with this. If you're a designer and think you're getting quick money by using website like 99Designs or similar places that offer you freelance work, think again. Research first.

This website is just not useful or seemingly legitimate anymore. Years ago, I used to browse Glassdoor to see median salaries and see what places were good to work for. Everything looked perfectly fine, and everyone seemed to have legitimate good and bad experiences.

Now, the company just looks really fake and uninviting. First, it's useless on mobile. Second, it's useless everywhere else. Just like those shopping websites that require your email before browsing their content, and just like Yelp that doesn't allow you to browse without their app on mobile, Glassdoor takes it to a whole new level. You can't view past the first page of reviews without making an account. No, thanks. I rather take my chances experiencing good or bad from a company than make an account with these people.

Websites like GlassDoor and Yelp are just out for your money. No one can prove a good or bad experience. Not everyone is a liar but at the same time, there are many people who would do anything to put down a business. That's why either side will end up being upset while these websites just take money in. If you rely on this website for any sort of background overview, you may lose out in the future.

Oh dear. Please do not trust all sellers on Etsy. If you aren't sure what you are getting, don't purchase it. Too many buyers complain about what they got from those "mystery" purchases with a random shirt or sweater and don't end up liking them. I'll admit it's great to find nice handmade stuff and it's great for artisans. I appreciate handmade work and help supporting Etsy shops.

However, I encountered so many bad sellers, I was quite disappointed and didn't want to buy from this place again. You would charged $11.95 to have them ship a pair of pants that aren't even heavy denim. $12?! Not only that, but I got ripped off so many times, it was crazy.

I asked a seller to ship me a pair of high waist jeans with 1" cuffs. She sends me a pair with 0.5" inch cuffs and the cut-off area keeps showing which was NOT what I wanted. I requested another seller to sell me a vintage sweater that was black. When I received it, it was a dark navy blue and it was very scratchy!

Afterwards, I purchased a ring that says it was handmade but it was actually a mass produced product from Asia and it was only obvious after I saw 4 sellers selling the exact same item. Then, I purchased a cardigan and a vintage bag from a seller. When I received the item, the cardigan was not "soft" and comfortable as she said. It was very stiff and uncomfortable. The bag she shipped me was in great condition the first time I gently used it. The strap broke off on its own after storing it nicely!

A lot of sellers are always like "contact me with questions". When I did contact one of the sellers, she took FOREVER to reply and I felt like she was playing the bargaining chip while giving me an attitude at the same time. It's either that, or they think as a buyer, you're being annoying.

As another reviewer said, always double check and research the item you want to purchase. The ring I originally purchased that was NOT handmade, was $20 and $4 shipping. After a few months, other shops sold the same exact ring and charged only $9 per ring.

Etsy in theory is great, but I never made a sale there. I listed a ton of items and wasted a ton of money and sold NOTHING. The only positive thing about selling is that their fees are actually reasonable ($0.20 a listing, and 3.5% fee for items sold). Compared to eBay, this is a heaven.

As said earlier though, be careful of sellers. At the same time, be a reasonable buyer. I respected a lot of no-return policies from those bad purchased. Sadly, almost all the items were either donated, given away, resold or thrown out. Advice from experience: Don't be tempted to buy trash or get charged retail price for clothing that are three decades old. I wouldn't even buy crafting supplies here. I don't know where some sellers in their right mind charge $6+ to ship 3 oz of wool roving. Absolutely ridiculous.

I'm not interested in makeup, vloggers, or other peoples' lives. It's great that people can make a living just making Youtube videos. I followed a few channels with great content and but since they had to post weekly, their videos started to go downhill. That's fine, I could simply unsubscribe and not complain.

Therefore, I can choose the content I could see, at least most of the times. I watch documentaries, sometimes reviews and tutorials, and other times, looking for abstract or obscure music. Overall, YouTube has a lot to offer, and it's mostly free, so I didn't mind the commercials. But sometimes, they just get out of hand and way too many. I could pay to get rid of the ads or I could deal with ads and pay nothing.

With the content that I watch, YouTube could almost replace paying for Netflix. The content you watch reflects the people in the comments. Nowhere in the music I listen to or the videos I watch ever have negative comments, trolls or pointless internet arguments. It's great. I took off one star, because I don't like the fact that my Google Account automatically makes a YouTube account (with a hidden "ghost" channel).

BEWARE! Updated 11/29:
BEWARE OF THEIR RETURN POLICIES: I bought items from F21 website and they shipped it late and claimed that I was lying and wasn't home when I was. When I received my package, I got 3 shirts that were the SAME product but different colors. When I purchased them, they gave an automatic discount for two of them which I didn't even ask for. NOWHERE on the product's page or my order's info did it say these were FINAL SALE items. Now I am stuck with 2 shirts I don't want. Meanwhile, the 3rd one is still returnable because it wasn't "discounted". You are penalized for discounts. And as I say again, I cannot even return or exchange these two shirts I don't like. They're just expensive dish rags now.
------
A lot of selections of trendy clothes at low prices. I used to shop here all the time but I stopped after realizing that this place is not for me due to the return policy. I knew the return policy and I was fine with it, but if you're the type that have second thoughts about an item you bought, this place is definitely not for you.

The website is stocked with tons of items and I love how it is organized. Boots and bags and accessories are somewhat cheap looking and are of bad quality, but I have not had an issue with their clothes. The clothes are actually very nice but you have to be careful of shrinkage and the images are not very good at showing you the texture or how see-through something is.

I ADVISE you to understand their return policy for online orders: If you want to return items in stores, you will get store credit back. If you want a refund to your card or Paypal account, you must return the items by mail to them and wait about 2 weeks for them to process your order. Final Sale items do NOT get a return or an exchange (of course). They are also very shady when shipping things out as regular priced items, but if you return them, they may refuse it because the same item is suddenly on-sale.

Shipping also takes FOREVER (ha!) I have waited two weeks for my package so far and it still says it won't come until this Friday which it probably won't even come because this week is Thanksgiving weekend. Their processing was about 2-3 days which was awful.

If you live near an F21, I suggest just go to the store and find what you need and buy it there. You won't get a cash refund (store credit only), but if you are planning to keep your item, then this shouldn't be an issue. Otherwise, you'll end up like me, waiting for a package for probably 3 weeks. Also, their items online are ALWAYS out of stock. I constantly put myself on the wait list and the next day, the item is out of stock once more. What's the point of putting up products and still showing items that have been gone for ages?

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 had a previous long review to this, so to supplement that long review, I decided to update and I don't feel my opinion on this website has changed much. Sometimes, at the post office, I see large polka dot bags and wish I could've told the sender that it's not worth sending to ThredUp.

Plus, my coworker ordered a jacket from them and it got lost in the mail. ThredUp told her to file a claim with the carrier. This shouldn't be the customer's responsibility. ThredUp knows that filing a claim with a carrier takes ages and rather you (the buyer) waste your own time doing it. ThredUp knows a large majority of people wouldn't go through that hassle and just "forget" about the issue. My coworker decided to forget about it and lost her money.

Oh, and if they somehow donate your items, they get the tax credit for it, not you. So in a way, you're giving them items so that the company can deduct it off their taxes.

Recycle clothes is a great concept, but ThredUp executed it poorly, and try to make up with it by using "cute" packaging that is so wasteful and bad for the environment..

I was browsing on Swap out of curiosity. Although I wouldn't purchase on this website unless you know how a brand fits your size. They don't give enough details about anything. Knowing a size of a package is not the same as knowing the size of a pair of pants. Swap had a pair of jeans listed just called "Jeans". Absolutely no brand, no information, no measurements, no details. How are people supposed to know to buy this if all you're telling them is that it's a size Large?

As a consumer, I would highly recommending researching before purchasing from Swap. It seems like the prices are comparable to brand new items at certain stores, so why bother purchasing from here? I get if you live in an area that doesn't have stores available, but buying things from here, you're going to run into the risk of a complicated return.

On top of that, I wouldn't sell to them either. Their process seems close to criminal as ThredUp. $11 to process the items as a flat fee, that is fine and I'm willing to accept it. But 30% and $1.50 on each item? And on top of that, reject most of my items I sent over? No thanks. And I always thought eBay ripped me off on fees, but this website here is a winner. Again, good for buying, if you know what you're buying, and know you're not getting ripped off. However, bad for selling; in which case, if no one sold to them, they would have no inventory. Good!

Previously, I was only not recommending Snapfish for backups and also, you cannot delete photos or albums if you choose to. But now it's a total different level. They upload a tracking number that is either fake or never updates. Therefore, you have no idea if your order actually "shipped" or if the products are lost in the mail. You will never find out unless you make the effort to speak to customer support and let them know. This isn't the first time it happened. I knew a few other people who had the same issue.

I contacted customer service (live chat) and they simply told me the tracking didn't update because the carrier didn't do it but the products are still "on its way". But Snapfish themselves couldn't even tell me where the products are. It's blatantly a lie. I was told to wait another 2-3 business days. It's been 15 days.

Now this is not to bash them purely about shipping because the speed isn't their fault. But I previously liked Snapfish for their price range and their quality prints. When I finally got my prints in the mail (after being in limbo), all the images came with a grid-like-waffle effect on them which makes them unusable.
