Sorry this is so long.
*** THERE ARE VERY FEW ITEMS ON BANGGOOD's SITE THAT CAN'T BE PURCHASED ELSEWHERE! ***
BG's prices are not stellar when you add in shipping and the processing & shipping time is atrocious. I've found everything I ordered from BG on Amazon and eBay. Each was only a few dollars more and shipping was all less than a week and it would ship from somewhere in the US.

FIRST ISSUE - Banggood constantly nags you via email. When you create your account there is no solicitation for marketing emails. No check box to say don't email me. After you create your account, the non-stop marketing emails begin. I got up to 4 a day! It was maddening. I unsubscribed in each but the emails kept coming. I went into my account profile and made sure I was not subscribed to any of their emails. I ended up emailing customer support (*******@banggood.com) and asked them to stop. They sent a link to a site that allowed me to unsubscribe. The emails have finally stopped.

I made the mistake of placing 5 orders with Banggood over 2 days. I was like a kid in a candy store when I discovered the Banggood site. I ordered a bunch of electronic kits. DUMMY ME!
Everything I ordered was shown "In Stock" and shipping was "5 - 10 business days". Orders were placed, my PayPal account was charged immediately then the fun started!
2 days after placing my orders they all showed "Processing" status. No clue what this means except your order just sits. It should not take weeks to put an item in a box and ship it.
One order shipped 2 days after placement. Great. It arrived 17 business days later. Late, not within the 5 to 10 days promised when I ordered.
The other 4 orders showed "Processing" and stayed in that state for days and days. Then one by one, I'd get an email from Banggood that one or more items in each of the 4 orders was "Out of stock". The emails gave an estimate when the items were expected to be back in stock. Normally it was at least 3 weeks in the future!
One order sat in Processing for 18 days before I was notified that 3 of 5 items were out of stock! Again, every item was "In Stock" when I placed the orders. In fact one of the items they said was out of stock still showed "In Stock" on their site 2 days later. BANGGOOD DOES NOT KEEP THEIR INVENTORY CURRENT!
Each out of stock order had an updated estimated ship date that was on average 30 days in the future. And the estimated shipping time was 52 days! I assume the orders were coming via rowboat.
Here I am about 45 days from placing my 5 orders and only one has arrived. It was late.
After I got one of the emails about items out of stock I was at my wits end, I emailed *******@banggood.com and asked them to cancel the order. Surprisingly they did reply a day later that the order was canceled and refund was sent to PayPal. I have not seen the refund yet but it's only been 2 days.
Finally the rest of my orders have supposedly shipped. All are WAY beyond the original shipping estimate of "5 - 10 business days".
One package is lost. Supposedly it arrived in NJ but no movement since then (5 days ago). I have requested a refund for that order. No reply from Banggood yet.

DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM BANGGOOD UNLESS YOU CAN'T FIND IT ELSEWHERE. I will never order from Banggood again.

This show is unwatchable!
Sunny is the most annoying person on the show. She's WAY Over the top, loud, abrasive and you just know she is a confrontational person. We all know why she is on the show - strictly diversity. There I said it.
If she was any other race, she wouldn't be on Food Network at all! Katie is nice to look at but she is not a chef. She is on the show because of her looks, not talent.
Jeff Mauro - no way he acts like that normally. His overly gooshy, maudlin, emotional ways and constant lame/obvious comments are grating. He loves to hear himself talk! Just happened to catch an episode of The Kitchen with him singing, or trying to. Was like a train wreck. HORRIBLE!
What is this show trying to be?
THE KITCHEN HAS BECOME A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND IS NOT WATCHABLE.
Overall I bet the Food Network's viewership is declining and it's because of dumb shows and the hosts. It seems like there are few real cooking shows. Chances are if you go to FN, it will be some dumb competition show.
Sad. The Food Network used to be a go to channel full of good interesting cooking shows.
