  • jetBlue

5/1/14

Love flying JetBlue and try to fly them whenever possible - just seems like a less stressful, nice experience.

Their site is decent and I enjoy searching on their site.

Wish they had more of a feature to find inexpensive fares. Also wish they had specials for people who are flexible in their destination --- that would be a fun feature.

In general, their site is a pleasant experience!

Fan of their information and breaking news!

Their fantasy sites are good to very good, but charge very high rates, considering you can get 80-90% of the same experiences elsewhere (ESPN, for example) for free.

On the fantasy side, I guess you have to affix a value to features and see if they are essential for you.

I think CBS has made great strides in their timely content in the last 6-12 months and I think this site reflects that.

Would be a higher rating except for their pricy fantasy stuff.

Have you seen the beta of their new site?

When a news site goes to a blog format, it tends to shock me --- now, I did not like their old site, but now, it seems like it has moved to being a site that is poor and discheleved.

I think after the first feedback they slapped the word BETA on the site.

I can't imagine them staying with this model.

Content is good -- I enjoy the local features (Best "blank" in Boston), but these tend to get recycled semi often, which is a bummer.

I'm waiting for a new iteration of the site and maybe I will upgrade my review at that time.

Product gets 5 stars and their shipping is the speediest of all my online stores I frequent.

Could the site use some enhancements, sure - but, hey, the product sells itself for those who have used them in the past -

Always love when sites offer Paypal for easy checkout - and this is the case here.

Website explanations and measurements can be deceiving. Ensure that you measure what you need and order the best size for you -

For transplants, I like the 4 inch square, but have used 5 inch and even the small six packs.

  • Macy's

5/1/14

Decent offerings and sorting make this site a once or twice a month shopping experience.

Their preview of merchandise is not always clear on differences between similar products (pants, for example).

Their sales codes are always spot on (when these don't work elsewhere, it troubles me).

Link to your account for easy checkout.

All and all, a good experience.

Prices can be high sometimes and wish the clearance section was larger.

This site proves to be very confusing in their navigation, filtering and general experience.

Are there deals to be had here? Yes. Just takes a few times to learn to use their technology.

I have also had difficulty with using their sale codes on occasion.

Beware however, they are a SERIOUS user of re-marketing ads on other websites, so if you click on that polo shirt and decide to not buy it, it will follow you for days by their ads on other sites.

Site takes patience I guess.

I'm a big fan of this site for personal travel -

However, and I don't know if this can be considered a criticism, but sometimes, it feels like it is too much information with filters not really as helpful as they could be.

I don't take any personal trips without consulting this site, but sometimes, get a few ideas and then search other web portals for greater detail.

  • Weather.com

My favorite weather site for home and for international information. I support a salesforce that travels quite a bit and we depend on weather for lots of travel arrangements and for other factors in the regions being visited.

Unless you have the money to pay for a specific service, this site will more than do well for you!

We have also enjoyed recent updates they have made to their iOS app.

Can't beat this site!

  • ParkSeed

Shipping was pretty slow from these folks and I ordered from 6-8 of them.

Seed counts are smaller than others (Johnny's, Seed Savers Exchange, Harris). They don't seem to offer much that cannot be found in other sites.

I DO like their growing systems (first year trying), but I'll let you know how successful the plants are.

All and all, I would not use them again unless I was in a pinch.

  • Stackry

I help support an international sales force that travels to the USA a significant bit. Many have used these services and I have become the person to work with these package forwarders to best meet their USA shopping needs.

We have found success with a few of these companies, usually some are better in some countries than others.

Overall, we have found that Stackry is the best best for most parts of the world. Stackry excels in price and customer service. I have a one on one relationship with my customer service rep... who does that anymore?

For second or third place, I'd suggest ParcelBound for Eastern European countries and Shipito for Africa.

The larger companies have proven very frustrating to deal with as their prices tend to be high and their responsiveness low. Perhaps, they've just grown too big.

Stackry offers a free account, lower prices, great packing (never underestimate the value of a good packing job), great consolidation services (lots of value here) and free 45 day storage!

It took us a few years to find our favorite, but Stackry is the one!
