A heads up on today's Dealfind deal

Today, Dealfind is selling Lock & Lock containers. These containers are amazing. However, the company is pretty awful, as far as service and actually shipping them to you goes. Check out the reseller ratings: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Lock_N_Lock


I tried to post a comment to this effect on the deal itself, but it was promptly deleted, and I received an email from dealfind stating that they don't allow negative reviews and the like in their comments section, because their contracts with vendors state that they won't. So... I guess a heads up about Dealfind in general there.

I was going to buy some Lock & Locks the last time there was a deal, because several friends have them and love them. However, there were a ton of problems with code redemption, and almost all of the plastic products contain BPA. It creeps me out that Dealfind doesn't allow negative reviews.

At least they told you their creepy-ass policy. Plow & Hearth regularly removes negative reviews and denies it.

ETA: Oh, and they have a pretty bad MyWOT (Web Of Trust) rating. I've helped it along in that direction after reading your post.

That's nice. This has what to do with Davis again?

Oh, is the post bothering you? I'll delete it if you find it irrelevant and bothersome.

Well, it's irrelevant re: the community rules:

"All posts should have something to do with Davis Square or the immediately surrounding areas."

Dealfind regularly features Davis Square area businesses.

I'm totally cool if a mod wants to delete this. I apologize if someone is annoyed by the post, and finds it off topic.

Personally I'm not annoyed. Maybe if you posted this kind of thing every day.

"Dealfind regularly features Davis Square area businesses. "

That's enough to make it relevant for my tastes, but I suggest editing this into the original post for clarity.

(I wanted to put "moderator note" into the Subject of this comment, but apparently LJ comments can no longer have Subjects??)

i wonder whether buying their stuff from amazon bypasses their sketchy warehouse/shipping connection?
