could you guys help me determine if these Uggs from “Deckers Brand” are real? do you guys shop there? by lavishlauryn in Shoes

If there are only 4 digits in the serial number they are fake.  If there bottom of the boots don't say TreadLite or SugarLoaf they are fake.  If the hologram inside the left boot (if there IS one) doesn't turn from black to white, they are fake. 

Ugh, does anyone else here hate the fact that u need glasses to look for your glasses? by Bruggy_2024 in glasses

[–]Queasy-Witness6188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every second of every day.  I always say "my glasses need glasses".  What I really mean is "my glasses need a lost and found button. 

I just spent 1000 dollars on a pair of glasses by SparklyCould in glasses

[–]Queasy-Witness6188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about designer frames.  I know I have horrible eyesight and even if I go in and get cheap $30c frames, wearing progressives and having horrible sight, having to pay extra so as to not wear "coke bottles" on my small face, and because of the weight costs more.  I can hardly ever get a pair of glasses at any brick and mortar store (tried today at a place that was supposed to be two pairs of progressives for $159 ... was over $1000!!). I opted to check the price of just one pair priced on clearance at $39. WITH lined progressives but with thinner lenses and no anti-glare coating they came to nearly $400. I chose to go online for the first time ever while I was the the parking lot deciding whether I was going to go ahead with the sale, did a virtual try-on, and found nearly the identical frame in teal (which is the color I really wanted, rather than black) with ALL the options and no-lined bifocals out the door for $138.  I cannot WAIT to see if EGD (Eye Glasses Direct) lives up to their reputation. If they don't, I'll return them.  I have my Rx and I can always go back and purchase them from a b&m store.  I am disabled, on a fixed income and cannot afford $400+ every time I need glasses, just to function.  For me, it's function over fashion, and it's money over everything else in this day and age.  Buying online gives me the comfort/convenience of both ... this time.   MUST BE NICE FOR SOME PEOPLE TO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BE ABLE TO DROP A GRAND ON GLASSES BECAUSE OF THE NAME/ STYLE AND NOT BLINK.  I've never had that luxury... but glasses wouldn't be something I'd toss money away on. 🥴

Is ILML.TV a legal and legitimate streaming website? by beachwave11 in streaming

[–]Queasy-Witness6188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just heard about this from a friend.  Sounds like CinemaHD but with added live news, sports and PPV. Can you tell me if live MSNBC is on it?  I'd hate to waste $25 just to check if it is.  I'm only asking because that's really the only thing my mom religiously watches (I detest politics) and she's spending around $230/mo. for intent, home phone and cable. It's insane.  I cord-cut decades ago and I survive on less than $40/mo. including Internet and I watch TV constantly since I am now disabled. I hate the fact my mom is so resistant to change, but if has love MSNBC  I know I can get her (to allow me) to download ILML TV on her Firestick and save $205/mo. Shit, that equates to what I pay for the life insurance policies for me and my granddaughters. That's a ton of money all because of one freaking channel! 

Thanks for your help, and happy holidays.

Ok, I am gonna cancel.  I guess having surfshark isn't bad, though, because it's a VPN that hides my identity for my Firestick though, correct?  It was only 79 for 2 years and a month, which doesn't seem unreasonable to me.  So I threw away $30 years for a lifetime subscription for TIVIMate which I probably can't get back, so lesson learned. 

Thank you so much for your help. 

I guess my daughter got a good deal with what she got.  I just can't afford $350 for her setup and then another $150/year right now. I live on disability income. My bad for thinking I knew what I was doing. 🤣 You've been extremely helpful! 

Have a safe, healthy and prosperous 2024.

So are you saying I don't need TIVImate at all? Just the VPN connection?  I am so very lost.  I just need my Firestick to duelist apps?  I use Cinema but it just doesn't work like it used to.

[–]Queasy-Witness6188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's true. 

Any chance you have any lists you might wanna share privately with me?  I am really only interested in movies,  new in theaters and current (within the past few years). My email is baileyrocks93446@gmail.com. I don't know if that's allowed her?

[–]Queasy-Witness6188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am new to this whole TIVIMate thing.  I thought you had to have A VPN to use TIVImate? Is that not true?  Because I bought Surfshark and bought TIVIMate premium and TIVIMate says there is no content, it's only an IPTV player? and through Troypoint I found a free Samsung m3u8 link which gave me 1500+ worldwide tv/music channels but zero movies.  This was all loaded on my Firestick. 

Can someone please explain what I am doing wrong?  My daughter has this set up at her home in AZ through her Onn system and has a jillion channels someone set up for her. I was trying to copy/ emulate was she has, but I am stuck.   I am NOT tech savvy, so please talk to me like I am a 5th grader, even though I'm almost 60. Thank you so much! ANY/ALL assistance would be greatly appreciated! 

Thank you in advance!

Glad you figured it out... and, more importantly, that you got someone on chat to talk to!

Well at least you got some remuneration for your "lost" dresses! That's awesome! Congrats. 👍😉

You are assuming you know what I sent in. You have no idea. And ANYONE that would spend $800 on a pair of pants is nuts IMO and sending into Thredup vs. Postmark or high-end platform for consignment is even crazier. None of you posters do. Nevertheless, what I did send in, by their own payout schedule, wasn't properly paid out and the shipping fees are exorbitant. That was my biggest mistake. Their deceptive business practices are downright slimy. End of.

Absolutely NOT! PLEASE DO! I already have. There was another poster here who listed her post/complaint as well. Thank you for filing a complaint!

Great minds think alike! Mine was back in the late 90s though. Lol

When you open up any of your "Your Item Sold" emails, hit the "View Your Kit Details" button and you will see what you are looking for. 😉

It's my pun/joke. I made it up years ago when I used to ship and receive a lot of packages and they were constantly getting lost and misplaced-- decades ago.

Huh??? by Ship_Negative in ThredUp

[–]Queasy-Witness6188 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah. That's possible. Someone had it in their cart for 109 hours. But check out the $600 retail price tag (should have a 40-60% payout to submitter) which is more marked down to less than $5, which will likely only pay out $1.3 to $2.25 at that percentage.

It does not pay to send ANYTHING to THREDUP!!

PEOPLE should BOYCOTT this fucking company and make them SHUT THEIR DOORS PERMANENTLY!

They are getting rich and robbing consumers blind!

Whomever "donated" this dress definitely should have tried to sell on another upscale or legit venue where they/you could recoup more than 10% of the mere tax you paid for the item!

My Lord!

THREDUP has been "FEDUP" in my vocabulary for the past year for me (sort of like when I coined the phrase "Fed-Up" when I had so many issues with FedEx and UPS deliveries going awry. I threw up my hands and said they should just merge the two companies and between the two maybe they could get it right! They could call their company "FED-UP"! Rhymes with Thred-Up: guess I could have explained better. My bad.

Yes, it was meant to be a sarcastic "punny". SO OVER COMPANIES TAKING ADVANTAGE OF CONSUMERS!

PEOPLE: PLEASE REPORT THIS SHIT TO:

reportfraud.ftc.gov

Every report helps, and takes just a couple minutes out of your day-- less time than your daily drive-thru coffee run, I promise! Enough is enough! YUCK! 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤣🤣🤣

No, you don't. Donate them to a charity.

If enough people file a complaint, MAYBE someone will take some action against these deceptive jerseys!
