  • Chase

1/20/18

I've been a customer since WaMu went out of business and my account got transferred into a Chase account. The service is excellent and the mobile apps work great. I can deposit checks via the app and so save many trips to the bank. One thing I don't like that much are the fees for incoming wire fees. WaMu didn't charge and outgoing wire fees were very low, even for foreign wires.

Tip for consumers:
Use the Chase app for banking, it's fast and very convenient.

  • Cash.me

12/19/17

I've been using Cash.me (formerl Square Cash) for a while and I haven't had any negative experience with it. It's ideal to send money among friends or pay people you know for lunch etc. The feature I like most is that I can set it up that payments get transferred to my bank account immediately so I don't even have to log in to get my money into my bank. In all, it's an uncomplicated payment app which works well as mobile app and on any browser. Oh, and the Cash.me app has a nice notification sound of falling coins when you get a payment. Love it!

  • Tempehstarterstore

11/30/17

As I'm a lover of Tempeh but don't want to shell out big bucks at my local grocery store, I began looking for a reasonably priced starter culture. I know there is Culture of Health and similar sites but they're expensive too if you consume tempeh regularly. So, I tried to find a seller that offers original ragi tempeh culture from Indonesia. Fortunately, there are a few and they sell the culture very inexpensive. I decided to try my luck on Tempehstarterstore.com. The website is very simply designed, has contact information and a blog entry on how to make tempeh. On the other hand, the pages load instantly. So, I ordered 500gm (slightly over a pound) of tempeh starter culture. Fast forward almost 3 weeks, my culture arrived finally. It was tightly wrapped and the culture was double bagged. What I like is that the seller includes a "phytosanitary certificate" by the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture. I am not an expert but it looks legit and makes me feel confident the starter culture is safe to use. I compared it to certificates posted online and it looks real. I included a photo of the certificate in my review.

Alright, the starter culture works and produces wonderfully tasty tempeh, no matter what bean I throw at it :) I thought to give the store 4 stars because of the slow shipping but the starter culture works so well, I changed my mind and gave 5 stars. It's really worth the wait. The quality is excellent and the price is very low, so I can't complain about the shipping. Just keep in mind it takes up to 3 weeks for the culture to arrive.

Tip for consumers:
Order well ahead before you run out of culture. Consider ordering in winter and freeze culture to extend shelf life.

  • Food To Live

I made a few orders with this company and I think it's safe to say Food to Live provides excellent customer service. My orders arrived promptly and my maca powder tastes very fresh. And customer service responds fast.

  • Monoprice

10/31/17

I buy mostly cables and wires from Monoprice because I couldn't find them cheaper elsewhere and at such a good quality

  • Gurin Products

10/31/17

I bought a BP monitor last year and recently an oximeter. Both work reliably and provide me accurate results which are most of the time identical to my doctor's. So I know Gurin products are accurate. I haven't had any issues so far with any of my 2 products from Gurin. I definitely will buy again from this merchant.

  • PayPal

10/31/17

It's unbelievable how PayPal always finds a reason to limit my account for security reasons even though my account is verified. I got 2 bank accounts linked, one debit and credit card and also gave this joke of a "company" my SSN. Nonetheless, PayPal limited my account due to a sudden and "suspicious" increase of sales volume - $230 instead of the average of around $100 a month. Of course, there were much more issues I had with PayPal. Yet, what brought me to close my account for good is a buyer who after almost 6 months filed a claim about missing an order and the thugs of PayPal gave her right.

I switched to alternative payment methods like Cash.me, Thanks to PayPal I am accepting now even Bitcoins.

In retrospect, I regret having given these PayPal crooks all my personal info, who knows what they're doing with it...

Tip for consumers:
Use it as little as possible and never have lots of money in your PP account as they can freeze your account whenever they like.

  • Now Foods

7/16/17

I use several Now Foods products and am satisfied with them. The packaging is excellent, seals well my products. The website offers a lot of good info on supplements and health in general.

  • Mipcm

It's nice to have web access to my IP camera from any device. I can use any controls and functions like with the app. The installation of the desktop software went smoothly and uncomplicated. It also works under WINE in linux as web access works fine.

  • Sling TV

7/16/17

Very inflexible, the lineup of channels is OK but overpriced taking in consideration the buffering. It says free trial but somehow got charged anyways. Sling TV is as bad or worse as cable. No thanks.

Tip for consumers:
Not worth the trial

  • PaidViewpoint

6/15/17

It's a nice site to earn serious change but not lots of money. What I can say in favor of this site is that the surveys are short and I get paid by each question answered. Some are paid less, some significantly more. However, I never earned more than $40 a year. So you know how it is at PaidViewpoint. Nonetheless, it's still worth it. As I said before, on average, a survey is 1 minute or less.

  • HuffPost

Huffington Post is like Breitbart: Opinion pieces disguised as news. The only obvious difference is at the very left or whatever side (a side I don't want to be for sure).

  • Breitbart

4/3/17

My impression is that's a click bait site with opinion pieces disguised as news. Even as a conservative, I don't get it why to visit this site more than once. It's worse than NaturalNews and Alex Jones because their articles are at least more entertaining (yet still kind of fake LOL).

My final note: I was bored, got curious, stopped by and got bored again.

  • Vitamins Because

3/22/17

I discovered VitaminsBecause recently while looking for a product on eBay. I noticed the brand I've never heard of before and thought to look up the website. It turns out the seller offers VitaminsBecause three times more expensive than on the brand's own website as I see all products are buy one, get two free.

I already a couple of orders since January, the month I discoverd that supplement retailer.

The shipment is not fast. It does take a week but in return I get very low-priced and fresh supplements.

  • Slice

3/20/17

If you place several orders a week online, I recommend using this app. It works on your browser, Android, iOS and ChromeOS. Slice's main function is to keep track of packages. However, it doesn't end here. It also archives orders for you, keeps receipt and you can search for past orders as well. It also alerts you about recalls and price changes. Very helpful indeed.

Tip for consumers:
You can check your spending habits and how much you spent on stores and categories over time when you click on "Slice & Dice"

  • EliteDealClub

3/20/17

UPDATE (04/03/2017): Recently, I was able to log in without issues whenever I use the mobile Google Chrome browser on my Android phone, anything else won't work. Also, only Facebook log in works for me. Fortunately, I could snag a couple of great deals, even for free. Even though there are still major issues with the website, the deals I got were great. So, I decided to change my review title "Very Useless - DEALS ARE FAKE" to "Great Deals But Can Only Log In from Phone". I add a star, too. It would have been 5 but it's still a hassle to log in as I can only use my phone.

UPDATE (03/21/2017): Today I was able to obtain a coupon code for a product in the afternoon. I could have ordered more but there was only one product of interest to me. Maybe, it's not a clickbait site after all? I updated my overall rating from 1 to 3 stars from now. Depending how it works out in the future, I will add or remove stars again. For now, I would say, try it out and see.

I thought it was a great site to get highly discounted products on Amazon. Most deals are very low priced or even free. However, I learned it's just clickbait. See herehttps://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/elitedealclub.com

Another Sitejabber reviewer also tells she paid money to get a deal but never received the product. That tells me it's really just a site to get page clicks for Amazon products. I wish there was an option to ban sellers that work with that scam site.

In all, wasted my time registering.

  • OMG! Ubuntu!

3/6/17

It's one of the best sources for news and info related to Ubuntu and derivatives. Thanks to this site, I learned about useful apps.

  • Arcadia Power

3/6/17

Arcadia Power doesn't sell actual power but handles your power bills and reinvests in green energy certificates (or something in that nature). What's important here is that it is free (there's a paid subscription as well if you want to invest in renewable energy). Even with the free service, you get $20 off your power bill. In short, Arcadia Power handles your bill payment and get $20 off, and all for free.

Besides, you get a nice dashboard and access to exclusive discounts from select green companies. Not bad. It's like earning $20 in 5 minutes.

  • AquaTru

3/6/17

I ordered an AquaTru in November 2016. My box arrived with a huge dent in the box. Fortunately, the system was well protected with very sturdy materials. The setup was very easy and fast. Nothing complicated.

This RO system requires much less maintenance work. The most important is to FULLY empty the tap (unfiltered) water tank after each filtering cycle. Also, I clean the tank with a clean toothbrush and vinegar every other week. In the manual, it says to clean the tanks every week but as far as you don't see any sediment build up or even algae growing, I guess every other week is OK. Of course, change filters as needed.

I made an unboxing video of my AquaTru, It's not a review video, however. If you're curious, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmaOcBJtoT8

Tip for consumers:
You can order additional unfiltered water tanks as well (not only filtered water tanks) but you have to contact customer service first.
