I keep seeing ads for it and everything looks very cheap. Are the products any good?

    I’ve ordered from them a few times. I wanted to see how bad the products are and they give new members a pretty good deal.

    The products are generally better than wish, but they are still hit or miss. Think dollar tree quality for most things. I can’t recommend electronics. Most of them are extremely cheap and won’t last. There is a lot of etsy art/designs stolen and resold. Prints tend to be lesser quality because they don’t have access to the original files.

    They will spam you with notifications/emails whatever else they can and constantly tell you there are deals to get free things, but most of the time it stops you from getting the free item without inviting people or making multiple orders. Many of their big coupon offers they advertise like $200 off coupon is actually multiple little coupons that equal $200 off, but you’d need to spend hundreds to actually redeem them all.

    Still, I’ve gotten some things from there that aren’t bad. Those cardboard cat scratchers? You can find them for 1/3rd of the price and they are the same quality as any major store.

    I will always recommend to shop local if you can, but a lot of us don’t have that choice, and some of us can’t afford it anyways.
