I have made MANY several purchases from Chefwear.com over the years and they have never disappointed me! I screwed up my last online order and their customer service rep not only calmed me down, fixed my issue quickly and efficiently, but also found me some sweet deals to boot! I was able to gift my friend 12 shirts for very little, because their very patient, sweet, kind representative took the time to thoroughly check their clearance items. This company is AMAZING! Their items are top quality and although I am not currently in the restaurant business, I still love my purchases from them! 10 stars! P.S. Their clothes are really comfy!

  • The Container Store

10/30/19

I bought $900 worth of closet organizing and other items from The Container Store, online. The packaging was all cardboard with crumpled brown paper filler... so much, that it took me three (3) trips to the recycling center to get rid of it all. I mean, not one smaller item was placed inside a larger one... such a terrible waste of packaging! Anyway, the items were good, some great... but some cheap plastic boxes arrived damaged. It took several emails to TCS, only to receive an an auto response demanding that I take photos of the items that were damaged. Mind you, these clear plastic lids probably cost 5 cents for them to manufacture. Anyway, there was no personal correspondence from TCS back to me, and they took it upon themselves to replace the entire plastic boxes, apparently... according to the email notification I just received from them entitled "Thank you for your order!". I really did not want the entire plastic boxes, just the replacement lids! So, looks like I will have to cut up yet more cardboard and make another run to the recycling center. Anyway, I wish that TCS online company would train their Customer Service to treat their own customers in a more personalized manner. I doubt I will shop with them again, because of this. - so many stores sell similar items, I'd rather support companies who treat me with basic respect and courtesy.

  • LL Bean

I've been shopping with L. L. Bean for decades. I had their LLBean credit card, and loved the perks when it was with Visa. Now they have Mastercard and their credit card is just awful... it really let me down and ruined my holiday shopping by suddenly closing my account for no reason. In fact, they owed me money. But, anyway, L. L. Bean's clothing quality has declined over the years. It used to be that their clothing were wonderfully long-lasting and sweaters nearly indestructible. Now, their sweaters mostly self-destruct within a few years, at best. A cash ere sweater I've had 3 years is becoming "thin" & is labeled "Made in China". Ugh! The women's tops have been shortened by several inches, so when you wash them, they shrink a bit and your mid section will show. Their returns are fine, especially if you have their now-crappy credit card, returns are free. I would only purchase L. L. B.'s high end items now, as those are the only items of quality that will really last, i. E., their $250 sweaters or $200 boots. Of course, wait for sales and use the LLB perks of "Bean Bucks". Sadly, their clothing quality has declined, but their household goods are great, if very over-priced. Be sure to carefully read all reviews before buying their furniture, as I've seen some poor reviews. I have bed linens from LLBean that are absolutely superb, which I had to wait to buy on sale, as they were very expensive. Then, the design is duscontinhued, so I cannot buy matching anything. Bummer! I used to LOVE LLBean, now it's a scavenger hunt for quality, pouring through their quantity of stuff. Good luck.

Pinterest is now fascist & insane. They have closed multiple accounts of anyone who even questions mainstream "allopathic" (sick care) medicine, vaccine choice, alternative or holistic approaches to disease, etc. They have stripped users ("pinners") of their basic rights of freedom of thought, freedom of sharing ideas and information, and freedom to express grievances of censorship. Their narrowly defined content-based restrictions infringe on our basic First Amendment rights. They boldly censor us under the absurd guise of protecting us from fake news and misinformation'. This is just crazy. I am closing my Pinterest account in protest and outrage. I refuse to be censored. We have the power over social platforms. I strongly suggest you exercise your rights of freedom of thought, ideas, and sharing on the internet, before all rights are removed from you: Close your Pinterest account & write a review explaining that you refuse to be censored. It's really that simple.
