Stellar for the price

Got a birthday discount I forgot I signed up for, saved me $22 on the kettle I'd been eyeing since July. Slaps.

Sale bin gold

Customer service answered in 4 minutes on a Sunday night, which, come on. Delivery guy left it in the actual safe spot I picked instead of the middle of the driveway for once.

Good price, slow boat

Got a solid pair of sneakers for $55 that I expected to be trash so bonus points there, but the laces snapped week two. Bought a €24 sweater on a Saturday drop thinking it was a steal and it kinda is, but the stitching on the sleeve is already pulling.

Nope.

Markup is insane for what you get, I found the exact same thing on another site for $19 cheaper and it shipped faster. Checkout upcharged me $9 for "handling" that was not shown anywhere until the final confirm button.

Packaging done right

Fit was perfect out of the bag, no need to wash and pray. honestly didn't expect much at this price point but the stitching is clean and the lining didn't bunch after two washes Opened the box and the sweater actually looked like the photos, no weird lighting trick or saggy knit.

Shocked how good the fabric feels for the money, like it's got weight to it. Opened the box and the sweater actually looked like the photos, no weird lighting trick or saggy knit.

Hira saved me 15 bucks

the chunky loafers ran a half size small so i sized up and they're the most comfy shoes i own now, zero break in Returns are prepaid and the drop-off was a corner store two blocks away. the quality for £28 is kind of insane, feels like something i'd pay triple for in a mall

Low-key floored

Tracking updated every few hours so I wasn't refreshing like a maniac at my door. Made my week lol. Sizing chart was dead accurate for once, the medium fit tts and I'm usually stuck between.

Not worth the markup

Site said fit tts, I'm a medium forever, this ran small enough that my 11 year old niece grabbed it.

Avoid.

$120 for a jacket that smells like it was stored next to gasoline, had to wash it twice before I could even try it on. Fine print says final sale on anything over 40% off and that was buried three menus deep, lost $68.
