  • BareNecessities

Excellent website with name brands of lingerie and undergarments.

I have used this site many times with zero problems. I often find a favorite brand or style and found it at Bare Necessities for less than the cost at a local store. Sign up for the email notifications because they contain a lot of sale notifications and discounts.

  • Better World Books

8/11/10

Better World Books is a great website carrying new and used books. They have an amazing selection of titles! I had been searching for older titles from favorite authors and some missing Japanese manga titles for my son (and yep, they had both in their massive inventory!)

The best part of purchasing from Better World Books is the service -- emails confirming orders and prices, estimated ship dates, and a followup emails guaranteeing not only that the order arrived but that everything was included.

A+ service!

  • AbeBooks

8/11/10

I have also used abebooks.com trying to find older titles from some favorite authors. For the most part I have been very pleased with the selection, the prices, and the speed of shipping.

One complaint though, one of the providers from a previous order was Canadian and this was not disclosed during the order process -- for every book shipped and charged I was charged an international money conversion fee. Let the buyer beware and make sure you're choosing a US supplier unless you are ok with the additional fees.

This was one website I thought was too good to be true -- boy was I wrong! Simple, up front, and no extra "paperwork" to be used. You simply log in to the ebates.com website and select where you want to shop (lands end, barnes and noble, coldwater creek, drugstore.com, etc) and the site launches your shopping site. Any purchase you make from the shopping site is credited to your account. 4 times a year you are sent a check based on the amount of accrued dollars in your account.

Each shopping website sets its own % rate on rebates (they range from 1% - 30%) and can change during the year based on specials. You do receive emails telling which websites are running specials (during ebates birthday week last year, many websites doubled their rebate %). Another really nice feature of ebates.com is that they list current coupon/promotions for their websites also so you can launch your website, use the online coupon, and get your % rebate with one click!

It is well worth checking out the list of included vendors -- there are hundreds! Very popular well-known ones! The checks cash just fine and I love getting paid for places I online-shop anyway!

LOVE IT!

  • Lands' End

8/11/10

Lands End carries some of the best quality, everyday clothing we have found!

I am a mom of 2 and especially love the kids clothes that look like kids clothes but are not suggestive, obnoxious, or obscene (ever try to find a bigger girls' dress that doesn't show cleavage? Ever try to find a bigger boys' t-shirt with no swear words or alcohol advertisements?)

The customer service at Lands End is unparalled! They are fantastic, even the on-line chat help representative is a real person! My favorite type of jeans were discontinued and the on-line help rep told me the item # of the closest pair in regards to fit and length.

Returns at local Sears stores are an amazing way to save return shipping costs. Excellent sales, excellent quality, and different sales on-line than in stores!

  • Fat Brain Toys

8/10/10

Fat Brain Toys is an amazing website with wonderful innovative products for kids. We were looking for some challenging games and activities for our kids and found some unique kits, award winning games, books, and science sets. Our orders were confirmed, estimated ship dates sent, confirmation of ship dates sent, and a follow up message after every order to ensure all items had been received.

If you are looking for unique items for kids -- this is the place to look.

Here is the best part, Fat Brain wants people to leave good and bad feedback regarding the items they carry. We bought a solar kit from them that, unfortunately, was poor quality due to the manufacturing of the individual pieces. We wrote a scathing review of this one item in our order. Fat Brain obviously checks out the reviews because after our posting, THEY contacted US and appologized for the poor quality of the item and gave us the option of contacting the manufacturer or contacting them for a replacement kit -- no questions asked! THAT is GREAT customer service!

Great communication from this website when you place an order or extend order due to "out of stock". But when 2 months have gone by and you ask for a refund -- no email response, no phone response, nothing! The credit card was charged within hours of my order placement and NOT when merchandise was shipped (as a reputable site will do).

CHEAT RIPOFF BAD WEBSITE Do not buy anything from here
