About Me

Currently live in WI ( Go Pack Go)!! I do most of my shopping online, so much faster than store shopping, and find the best deals, usually with free shipping. Also have terrific programs that find the coupons for me!

How I Can Help

The more you shop online the more you'll learn the tricks of the trade!

Interests

Love fishing, biking, writing, and spending time with family.

I have bought hundreds of dollars of their candles. I have had a few candles here and there that only burned about halfway but didn't think too much about it. The last 2 orders I had stored and when I went to use them 4 out of six only burned half way and couldn't get them to burn any further. After this happened I contacted them and told them about it. They wanted pictures so my daughter took a couple of a few of them and I sent it to them. They wanted more pictures. I don't have a cell phone and don't know how to post pictures and my daughter doesn't live nearby. So I wrote to them again and they said they would have to turn it over to the manager, who never contacted me. I wrote again and then they wanted the names of each candle that it happened to. Well who saves half burned candles? You'd think that they would do something for a customer who has ordered from them for so long? They did absolutely nothing to rectify the issue. No credit, no replacements, gift card, no nothing. They didn't even respond to the last time I wrote to them. I won't do business with any company that doesn't stand behind their products. I think they will learn the hard way unfortunately that when a business begins to thrive and you cut the quality of your products they stand a good chance of losing good and faithful customers. Huge disappointment in a company that I recommended to family and friends.

  • Groupon

I have bought several items at groupon in just about every category. From jewelry, to towels, sheets, and pet supplies. I can honestly say that out of everything that I've bought over the years, I have only had to return one thing! I had bought a pack of velvet hangers and the very first one I used broke. I notified them and they sent me a link for a return label and was immediately reimbursed for the full purchase price! It's pretty hard to beat some of these deals and with the no hassle returns, how can you lose? Maybe I've just been lucky, but after all the items I've purchased I tend to think that they sell quality goods at great prices! I've bought many pet supplies at groupon and the quality is awesome and you can't beat their prices. I've seen the same items at pet stores and just have to smile when I see their prices compared to what I bought them for. I know I'll continue to shop Groupon without a doubt!

  • Walmart

9/6/16

Since I do most of my shopping online, I have to say Walmart is one of my favorite places to shop! I am disabled so the online option really works well for me! If I go to the store I never know if I'll be able to get an electric cart, and if I can't then I can't shop. It's a shame to see so many people using them that don't need to. So I know I'm safe with the online shopping. I LOVE the stone pickup option especially! Saves on the shipping charges when you only need a few things. I'm all about saving money and Walmart.com has some fantastic deals that I don't see in store. Only drawback with online ordering is that you can't try things on and we all know that every brand seems to run in a different size! Plus it's hard to see the quality from a picture, so it is a bit of a gamble on clothing items at least. On the good side, they are pretty good with returns with your receipt. I've had a lot of good luck shopping with them online, and saved a lot of money doing it, so unless there's free shipping, the pickup in store works for me! Keep up the good work!

I came across this site purely by accident and I'm so glad I did! So many online stores are super expensive and too many of their products come from outside of the U.S. I don't like to gamble on my pet's health and Chewy is very clear on their products where they come from. This year instead of the Frontline flea and tick, and the heartworm medication I found their line of natural products and made it through this hot summer just as well and felt much better about what I was putting on and in my dogs system. The good part about that was it didn't cost as much as the poisons I used to buy before doing some research! Besides those products I buy his treats and other items that I see on sale for him. Their shipping is always fast and well packaged. So go ahead and give it a try, I think you'll be as pleasantly surprised as I was!

  • Best Buy

9/6/16

I've shopped Best Buy for many, many years and believe it or not, never had an issue with anything I've bought! I don't think I can say that about very many places. Their workers are so knowledgeable and friendly, I know, there's always a few that aren't so much! But if one isn't helping enough you can bet that there will be another that will in no time! I've found them to be very honest with me about which is a better deal or product. They don't try to sell me the most expensive, just share what they know and what the customers find to be the best buy for their money. I like that they have so many employees at each store so it's never a problem getting help or asking questions. Their prices are competitive, and they'll even buy back and give you credit towards something new! Love that part! I think I've bought every piece of electronics and appliances I own there. I'm one to shop around for the best deal and it keeps bringing me back to Best Buy. Plus I don't think I've ever had to pay for shipping on an item, so why go out if it's delivered right to your door? I know they've had to close several stores, I just hope they don't close mine! Highly recommend.

  • Kmart

9/6/16

I used to get some awesome deals at Kmart, but since moving to WI their store closed shortly after and I never made it there. That left me to shop online. I have never had so many problems ordering anything online! I finally got so fed up that I unsubscribed from all mailings. Seems most items weren't available unless it was to pick up in store, which is getting pretty hard to do since most of their stores are closing! I had issues with them billing me shipping charges on each item, not each order! I can't count the number of times I had to call customer service. Sometimes they helped, sometimes not. Plus you really have to pay attention because some items are Kmart, some Sears. It's just a shame because I did like their products and they did have some awesome deals. It just wasn't worth the frustration anymore. I can see why so many stores are closing. Hate to see a store like Sears go under after being around like forever, and Kmart was a store I worked at back in the 70's! Guess all good things must come to an end.
