Their customer service is actually okay. Returns are easy. They'll often refund you and just let you keep the thing if it's not up to expectations.
It's really become an eBay-level shitshow, though. There will be 10 listings for the same product, with different options within each. Also, as xo has scholarship on, there's tons of garbage on there now. |

every product now has chinese competitors with inflated reviews that are supposedly better than legacy brands, but are typically shit, pure shit. it's a constant battle where you're wondering if you're getting duped or missing out on some great savings.
i fucking hate their reviews so much. and good luck going to google! every cocksucker has a blog with affiliate links to more bullshit products!
it's very hard to know objectively what is best anymore unless you're really into something already |
