  • TV Duck

8/7/11

Tvduck is basically a website that posts links to streaming episodes of almost any and every TV show you could want to watch. The links then take you to another website where someone has uploaded the video file. I use this website all the time for shows that are not posted immediately to Hulu or their network sites.

Of course there are some annoyances that come along with watching shows through TVduck. First, the chances of getting a link to a good quality, fast streaming video are higher if the show was aired recently. The longer past airdate the episode has been, the more likely the video file was taken down due to copyright issues. Second, there are A LOT of pop up ads! Some are obvious and you can easily close those windows. Sometimes the ads are on the same page as your streaming show, and you have to search for where the audio is coming from to mute it or stop it. The last thing - which is probably why the previous reviewer was turned off from TVduck - is you have to know which "play" or "download" button to click to get to your video. Because there are usually a few misleading "play" or "download" links that really just take you to another ad or ask you to sign up for a free trial, etc. Once you figure out which one is the "real" one - you're pretty much golden.

Despite the annoyances of TVduck, I love this website because it links me to FREE, streaming episodes of shows I love. No need to download sketchy files or wait another week for the network websites to update their streaming episodes.

I have never had a problem with ordering items from this site - it's amazing! I only wish they also sold clothing!

1 - they really do have an endless selection of shoes, accessories, and purses. This is a great alternative to traditional shopping because I hate having to go to 5 different stores, sift through limited styles, and then still not find what I'm looking for. With endless.com you can put in a price range, color, style, and hundreds of results come up. It's just faster and more efficient than scouring stores for what you want.

2 - their free 2 day shipping has never been late in my experience. It's fast and FREE. So when I need/want something, I don't have to worry about wasting money on shipping on something that may not fit or look right when it arrives.

3 - free return shipping is also a huge plus with this site. Again, I have not had any problems with the return shipping or refunds.

This site was key when I needed shoes to go with my wedding dress. It was 2 weeks before my wedding day, and I didn't have the time or energy to map out shoe stores to find what I needed. I was able to just go online, pull up the style and potential colors I wanted, and order 5 pairs. They arrived in 2 days, I tried them all on, found the perfect pair, and easily return shipped the remaining 4 pairs. This kind of reliability and performance is why I don't worry about ordering from them.

Though I have accounts with other sale sites as well, I usually end up ordering items I see from ideeli because they tend to have the lowest sale prices. However, they also take the longest to actually ship after an order is placed (at least a week if not a bit longer), shipping costs $9, and they ask UPS to ship your package to your local post office which then takes another 2 days to ship the package to you. My last purchase was ordered July 10, was not shipped until July 25, and I did not receive it until August 4. To be fair, when an order is placed, the website does tell you the expected ship date - and it is pretty accurate. Even though the merchandise is usually a good deal, paying $9 for shipping that takes forever is frustrating. I would only recommend ordering things from ideeli that you don't need to have immediately.

As for sizing issues - it is very hit or miss. I ordered 2 dresses, both smalls, and only one fit when they arrived. It makes me wonder if the sizing chart is really from the clothing manufacturer or a generic sizing table from ideeli.

My conclusion is this - you get what you pay for. I have always received my orders, and the merchandise has always been intact and new, but I'm not sure that is really cause for praise - that's just saying the site isn't a scam. Thus my rating of 2 stars out of 5.

Hi Christine,

Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback, which I always appreciate. I definitely understand how hard it can be to wait for an order that you're eagerly anticipating! Please know that we ship as fast as possible once we receive your merchandise directly from the manufacturer.

To help you understand: We work directly with manufacturers to fulfill each order. They ship to us, and then we ship to you. This can result in a bit of a longer wait time, but it ensures guaranteed authenticity. As you mentioned, we do list the estimated shipping date on each individual sale page, as well as on the order confirmation so you'll know exactly when to expect it.

In addition, for most packages, we use a combination of UPS and USPS services. Since the final delivery is handled by your local postal service, your order can now be delivered 6 days a week, including Saturdays.

That said, I'll certainly share your feedback with our internal teams. We're continually working to enhance the ideeli experience and your comments and suggestions are very important to us.

Thanks again,

Jason Faria
Sr. Manager Customer Service
