Seriously, I don't know how I would live without Amazon. LOL I order from them all the time, everything from furniture to bird food and beading supplies. So far so good. I cancelled my Prime though because I find it a waste of money since many products are not eligible for Prime.

I use this website to order the gemstones for my beading projects, and this site is a treasure. Not only do they have the lowest prices and huge variety of supplies, but also have sales up to over 95% off which helps me to save on the gemstones and sell the products at lower prices keeping my customers happy. I absolutely love firemountaingems. Their customer service is very good and returns/exchanges are very easy.

I love this website, and order all my metal parts (except the wire) and Swarovski from them. They often have sales, and implement a good discount program for returning customers which helps to save a lot of money. Their chains and findings are of superior quality (at least the ones I ordered).

I ordered from this website and then discovered all these horrible reviews, so I was really nervous. Now, the facts: I placed my order on 12/3/13, received a confirmation email right away, and today 12/11/13 I received my package ( the shipping took a week and the delay was caused by winter storms, not the website). I didn't receive a shipping confirmation via email, however on my account on the website there was a Fedex tracking number that not fake. :) The Dawgs boots are just wonderful - I absolutely love them! And they were ½ off the lowest price on i-net! So I'm very pleased so far. I'm not sure if I order from nomorerack again (I prefer Groupon), but hopefully they are improving. I also would buy only goods for which the maker company is clearly stated to avoid counterfeit.

  • Craigslist

I love craigslist, but you have to be really careful since there are a lot of scammers there. There are some simple security measures like buying only locally, meeting real people before making any financial decisions, etc. I bought my first car from craigslist from a local guy in Minnesota, and although I was very afraid since the car was used and the price cheap, it turned out great. My 1997 Geo Prism ran just great until an idiot smashed it on a road 3 months ago (thanks God I'm alive!). I also like to browse craigslist for free stuff, garage/estate sales and musical instruments, but seldom buy anything. I think it's a great site to connect with people. I got very little scam BTW, actually only once and it was very obvious.

I ordered from vista print.com several times, and always used their promos, so it came out pretty inexpensive. The last order was 3 sets of premium business cards which came in nice bright colors and were shipped fast. No disappointment here. I used "buy $60 and get $30 off" promotion, and paid around $50 for the whole thing including delivery. The annoying things are the add-ons at the end of every order, but on the other hand they offer things you wouldn't know even existed. I also wish they had smaller that 250 minimum amount - I would like just 100 to see if the design is good.

  • Peltz Shoes

I'm probably not in a position to judge this site upon just one purchase - maybe I just had bad luck with them. Although they have pretty good sales on shoes, their shipping is very expensive, around $9. So last summer I found a pair of sandals on sale that were kind of I was looking for and had a good review. I even bought 2 pairs in different colors, since one pair cost was just a bit more than the shipping. These sandals were terrible - they were pushing and rubbing the feet so bad that I couldn't wear them. I wish I had read reviews about them on other websites. Anyway I would have to pay another $9 to return them was not worth it - I just lost $29 Unless they change their shipping policy to free shipping and returns (like Zappos, for example) I would never buy from them again.

  • Puritan's Pride

12/8/13

I've been ordering from this website many, really many times and have never had any issues. Only once they emailed me that some sale item I ordered went out of stock, and I got it a bit later, but otherwise they always have unbeatable prices for quality and fast shipping. Once in a while they don't send a shipping confirmation and I find the package at my door while I'm wondering if it shipped. I would highly recommend this website. I never had to contact the customer service, so I cannot comment on it at this point.

  • Groupon

12/8/13

I was really surprised to find so many negative reviews. I've been using groupon pretty much since it was established, and had only great experiences so far. I use it for my favorite restaurants, a few shops, and mostly for discount goods. The last thing I got was a down comforter for my husband, that was only for a fraction of price and was delivered super fast. I also ordered Argan Oil, that came in a really LARGE bottle, and was very good, and many other little things. I cannot complain so far and will be using this site again.
