Verified site experience

Unsure I trust this site or vendor.
Concern over shipping. No information given by vendor.
Site responds with unexpected pop ups
Site is unaware that we do not use metric system in the US.
I hope this works out, but I consider this a leap of faith.

Reason I chose this business:

It seemed to have trustworty reviews and decent prices for exactly what I wanted.

I signed up for Credit Karma free. I read most of the promotional blabber they provided and signed up at the end of TurboTax 2023. It sounded OK.
NO NO NO. IT IS NOT OK!
Within less than 24 hours I had received 2 or more unsolicted spams from credit card companies. That has been followed by daily spams from other companies I would have no interest in. That was not happening before I signed up for Credit Karma. I do not have hard evidence linking this sudden flood of SPAM to Credit Karma, but you be the judge.
I strongly recommend that you trust nothing about Credit Karma unless you have no regard for your privacy.
And since this was offered as a freebee after purchasing TurboTax 2023, I can find no proof of purchase to attach.

Tip for consumers:
Credit Karma is a product of "Intuit" that is offered free when you use TurboTax 2023. I do not recommend TurboTax because of their hostile marketing methods, and because they promote products that definitely seem to compromise user privacy and security.

Products used:
Credit Karma is a "service". It is offered free, apparently because they compromise your data to other vendors.

USPS, aside from being the worst imaginable way to send packages, say they offer a free tracking service. They say just sign up and we'll tell you when (if) we deliver something. Sound good? Well, everyone else does it automatically, but if I have to sign up, why not? The answer to that question appears to be simple. It is impossible to sign up. I tried four times over the course of 30 minutes and the sign-up pages will not load. Rebooted twice to be sure and it didn't help. MAYBE this an internet glitch. If so, I'll return and edit or remove this post.
Otherwise, it appears that USPS has managed to hire IT people who are as incompetent and uncaring as their so-called delivery people. If you have had success signing up, or if you are fan of USPS, I am glad for you. Where I live, in an affluent Baltimore suburb, we are poorly served.

Tip for consumers:
It might be helpful to know that you should not expect it to work.

They have no booking desk, so you have to use an agent. I booked a flight in Jan, 2023 for a flight in May 2023 using Expedia. I received the confirmation from Expedia, but never a word from Frontier. Later, in May, I tried to confirm my flight. Cannot be done. So I went to BWI in May a bit early to ensure I could get checked in. NO HUMANS in the ENTIRE AIRPORT work for Frontier. I had the Maryland Transportation Police search for me. NOT ONE PERSON COULD HELP ME. I booked a flight with Southwest, and managed to get home. Of course, there is no refund offered for flights that they have cancelled, and they will never tell you that your flight has been cancelled...so, they have your money, and you have no way home.
Frontier has no CHAT for help. If you try it, you'll see. It does not work.
They have no telephones. ALL links connect ONLY to some Indian who will try to force you to buy an upgraded ticket...on flights that may or may not even exist.
And they seem to have no employees. And you are UTTERLY SCREWED if you buy a ticket.
There are bad airlines out there...but FRONTIER is the model for an incompetent, uncaring, idiotically managed fake business.
STAY AWAY FROM FRONTIER...or you will regret it.

Tip for consumers:
FRONTIER caused me to waste hours, hundreds of dollars I cannot recover. They offer NOTHING. Any business licenses they hold to fly commercial air should be summarily revoked.

QUORA may contact you with an offer to make money if you answer questions for them. This is contact generation BOT with very shady practices. I tried it. Within a few day I began receiving 20 or more emails a day. Many were legitimate questions. I am a retired business leader and part time Engineering Prof at a major East Coast University in the US. I soon began to receive questions seeking methods and sources of info that would facilitate cheating on homework, tests, and admissions exams. These questions did not seem to originate from US Citizens, but sounded Middle Eastern.

While teaching, several students came to me and informed me of rampant plagiarism and cheating by Asian and MIddle Eastern Students. I was shocked, but when I began to check it out, I found several of my students were submitting reports they lifted almost entirely off the internet. They were disciplined.

THE POINT: I will not assume that QUORA does this deliberately, but their BOT is either not managed at all, or needs serious moderation. It appears that these students not only cheat in school, they cheat to get into the school, and QUORA helps them do it. This may or may not be illegal, but the site needs to critically review it's operations, or it needs to be investigated for such violations. I suggest that you do not join, and if you do, be very careful. I cancelled my membership, of course.

Tip for consumers:
BEWARE OF QUESTIONS THAT HELP STUDENTS CHEAT.

Indeed it does and it thrives from the site called Theconservativetreehouse.com. This is a scam site. They seek donations in return for astonishingly deep analyses. But it is all fake. They pretend to have inside info, but have only guesses. I was a member, and have experienced their reporting for years. They DO NOT get it right...ever. IF YOU GO THERE...DO NOT BELIEVE A WORD YOU SEE. And don't let all the Christian trappings fool you. They are arch hypocrites and liars supreme. Their Commenting Policy reads like rules only Stalin could have dreamed up.

Tip for consumers:
The content written by their authors is imagined and never actually aligns with reality. Do not take them seriously and do not believe a word you see. If you mention that too them, you will not be allowed to return. Once you're on to them, they do not want you around. .

It took 4.5 Months to get my money refunded from a fraudulent transaction. It could have been done in 4 days. They lied about their progress. They lied about their completion dates. NEVER USE THESE PEOPLE for anything important.

Tip for consumers:
The Company is PayPal. I used them to pay a contractor his start-up amount, over $5000.00 He never performed. I asked PayPal to refund my money. It took the 4.5 months of "investigating" ... a job that could have easily been completed with ONE phone call or email to phony contractor. I DID get my money back...after MONTHS of senseless lying on the part of PayPal.

Products used:
This was a transaction for professional services.
