Fast delivery and good quality products. Attempted to buy a mask that has an open mouth, it arrived fairly fast.

Bait-and-switch is a form of fraud. First, customers are "baited" by merchants' advertising products or services at a low price, but when customers visit the store, they discover that the advertised goods are not available, or the customers are pressured by salespeople to consider similar, but higher-priced items ("switching").

I purchased a home protection kit directly from their website, ( a few cheap temperature/humidity sensors and door sensors), they charged the order on the card, and then I waited almost a month for the package to arrive. There were some good deals on Amazon on home security that I missed since I was still waiting on kangaroo to deliver; when I ask them why the package was not shipped yet, they told me they changed the prices of their kits and they no longer could sell me the package I purchased, gave me a refund and I would have to purchase one more expensive and that I could use a coupon for discount.

- As a frequent user of this site I attached a screenshot.
- The number of companies to invest they have is high, compared with other sites.
- It is NOT a trading platform, so don't go there expecting to buy and sell shares. It is focused on enabling startups with your money.
- The platform is easy to use and very straightforward, and it offers a lot of discounts for investing early on for investors on the platform.
- Their customer support despite being a bit slow, it is very detailed and focused on solving your needs. The other day I needed a document that they do not offer on their website, they took a while to respond but they went above and beyond to provide me with a report that I could use for my needs. Both times I contacted support they have been a bit slow but I ended up 100% satisfied with the outcome and the help, so it is good quality support.
- There were 2 times that I canceled investments on companies after some additional research and I received my money back because I did it before the money was invested. But I avoid doing that, do the due diligence first before purchasing any investment.
- Do not expect to sell your investment in the near future, most of the investments in startups are for years before they can be sold again, so take this into consideration, it is not a trading platform ( at the moment).
- Most of the companies, if not all, that I invested in, send me updates about the status of the company.

In my personal experience, It is my favorite platform for long term investments, and I will keep adding to the portfolio as long as economically makes sense to me.
