I have seen the commercials and thought there is no way manufacturers would would pay you to go through this site. I was wrong and I really question how much advertising costs are translated into our consumer costs (that's another topic!)

In a nutshell, check here first before going directly to buy anything online. There are coupons and discounts, and of course cash back. A few % may seem small, but it adds up and they pay out quarterly to your PayPal account. For example, I had to get a new stove. I went to the local store to ask questions and check out the model. Then I went online through eBates to buy the model. I got 5% back from almost $1k purchase! I also did the Chrisfmas shopping based on the online stores that offered the most %cash back! Well worth my time and small effort!

Price match to what you find elsewhere! And they can do next day delivery. Great customer service and selection for appliances!

I love the ads and the items. But the quality is inconsistent and the few bucks saved is not worth the purchase. For younger folks who only want to wear something for a few months, this would be a site to check out. Professionals be aware, spend a few more dollars and getting a better item at a department store.

This is like so many online shopping options, you can browse in peace and use the coupons on your phone. I had one horrible experience with a vendor and was thinking I just got hustled. I contacted Living Social and they were attentive, communicative and quick. In fact, the vendor was apparently so bad, Living Social issues me a straight refund instead of just credit to my account. That goes a long way to gaining my respect!

I received my dress yesterday and it was stunning! I cannot wait to wear it for my brother's wedding! The dress is exquisitely sewn and the beading/embroidery are very well done.
I have to admit, after the order, I was worried reading some of the viciously negative reviews I found. However, I had the opposite experience- immediate email after I placed the order, email to say my item shipped, email that item was delayed (by 1 day!) then another one to say it was on the way with tracking number.
The one caveat, I would highly suggest very carefully looking at their sizing and reading all the description. I have found size estimates from Chinese manufacturers run very conservatively. I'm 5'5 and 125lbs. I am in between a true size 4 and 6. Depending on the styling, I order a M or L. My daughter is a true size 8 and she is XL. So the sizing is much more limited for typical American sizes.
