Fb ads of random companies- bought anything?

[keyslover]

I keep seeing an ad for a sweater I like. But the company is a big question mark for me. Anyone buy clothes from Bobkah?

Also- chance to plug or tell us which to avoid.

It's probably a drop shipper (meaning you order from them, they order from some other very cheap place like AliExpress or AliBaba and have it sent directly to you). You can save the image and search it on Ali Express if you want to see if you can find it cheaper.

I keep getting ads from The Cone Zone. Slightly imperfect orange road cones. Tempting lol.

Personally I think it’s worth it to spend a little more to get a cone at the peak of perfection.

I've been shopping for couches, so now I'm getting ads for sofas in a box.

Our Casper mattress is just fine, but I don't think I'm yet sold on a couch in a box and/or purchasing living room furniture online without having sat on it first.

I once bought a multi tool thing that fits in a wallet and that was great. I just bought a Harry Potter sorting hat ornament and I'm hoping it isn't a scam. The price seemed right and I know Hallmark makes one so I hope it's real. LOL I've seen some nice sweaters and I can't bring myself to buy anything like that. I got my son a couple of things from Zulilly last year and the quality was terrible.

I would say no. My mom has had 2 transactions from the random companies that have lead to credit card disputes. Wouldn't trust them

I bought Lume and a blanket from Big Blanket Co.

I checked out reviews first and things went well- even when the first blanket wasn’t sewn together correctly and left a gap they sent me another one for free. I could sew the gap in the first one but I haven’t gotten around to it.

Pizza cupcakes. Amazing. Overpriced.

A couple of things. I bought a bikini bottom from Shapermint and a bathing suit top from Lascana. I was happy with both purchases but I researched both companies before I ordered so I don’t know if I’d buy from a truly “random” seller.

I bought some overnight hair curlers that were total junk, and some masks that are kind of ugly in person but really comfortable and well made. I think you just have to understand it’s a risk and be ok with that.

pendant that shines I love you in a bunch of languages when you put your phone light up to it. DD loves it. I aso got an elephant ring from a different company that took 3 months ro get and broke in 2 days.

I always Google "Is X company legit" and more often than not the company is not. It makes me sad--I've seen so.every cool things I'd like to have.

I’ve ordered multiple items from Cushion Lab. Literally cannot recommend them enough.

I bought the Flo PMS vitamins in a desperate attempt to control my hormonal acne. It was a great buy as it works well
for acne, makes me less moody, and my period less crampy. 5 stars.

Def. try searching the product off of facebook and see if you can find a legit retailer or a better price. I often feel better if I can find stuff on Amazon with Prime (even if it's still through a 3rd party seller).

In the comments, someone said they prefer to buy from The Cone Ranger. 😜

I've bought a couple of things off FB. For clothing I first search the company, and then the garment. A lot of times it's on Amazon if I really want it.

I bought a Left on Friday swimsuit based off of instagram ads

I love it.


Also, I got trapped by a theragun/hypervolt knock off sale and bought one from a VERY random Chinese company for $100 vs the $398. As in, I got sucked into one of those: " we have only 60 at this price!" Type deals.


I truly thought I had been taken..but nope. My hypRAVolter showed up a few weeks later and it's exactly the same as a hypervolt.

Exactly.

It doesn't always work out that way but thus time it did!

Darn it. I did and was excited for a hot second because it scored 7.9. Then I saw it was out of 100, not 10.

I bought my dog a light vest. Best purchase ever!
