I had a really good experience here. The deals are totally worth it if you are a member, and with any good subscription, you get better deals the more money you spend. Funny how that works! But it's already reasonably priced so I'm not terribly sad about spending a lot of money here.

My girlfriend has loved everything that I bought her, but a couple times the sizes were a little off. I'm pretty sure they will swap out poor fitting clothes, but I never actually used the service because I bought sets and she just kept one thing and put the ill-fitting item in the back of her dresser. That's on me, obviously that I didn't get the right size.

Anyway, the customer service was usually pretty good and helpful when I did use it. And everything I've bought she's worn several times without it losing any quality, whether it be color or fit or loose threads. Quality stuff.

I really enjoy Bright Cellars. I was a little hesitant at first, but after my first few orders I'm really into it. In my first order, I only got two bottles that I really liked. The next order I got three I liked, and since then I've enjoyed almost all of them. And then when I don't like a certain wine, I just cork it and bring it to a party where it gets happily drank.

A big thing is that I started by drinking mostly reds, because that's what I thought I was supposed to do. But I kept enjoying whites more than the reds, and now I almost exclusively drink white wine. Idk, maybe it's a body thing or dryness thing. Or maybe I just prefer citrus to other fruit flavors. Or maybe I just don't like leather and dirt flavors.

The biggest hassle for Bright Cellars is the delivery, having to be present to sign for a package since it's booze. But they gave me a great solution to this. There is a FedEx just a couple blocks outside of my commute home, so I just stop by when the package arrives and pick it up. And they hold it for like a week so I don't even need to get it any certain day.

Bright Cellars is great, it helped me expand my wine palate, and when I don't like a wine, someone else almost always does. Recommend.

I absolutely love Half Price Books!

The website has been updated recently, and it's a lot more helpful now. You can finally see what books are at what store so you don't have to necessarily go there to look on the shelves or call in and wait for them to look. I don't think you can look at the entire inventory of a certain store, but if you are looking for something specific, you can hit a drop-down button to see which stores that item is in.

And since the website also includes other sellers, you get kind of an expedia.com system for looking for your stuff. Often times the other sellers have better prices than half price books. And often times, the prices online differ from the prices in the store, which they explained is because the online prices use an algorithm to adjust their prices to other prices around the internet.

In any case, I'd say check the website before you head to a store if you're looking for a specific thing. You'll have an idea it will be there, and you'll have an idea of what the prices will be.
