My account was blocked because a member reported me. I asked for this to be reversed but was told that it was permanent as I violated their guidelines. I carefully read through the guidelines and I most certainly did not violate any one of them.

I believe the person who reported me (she actually wrote to me and said that she was goign to do so) is someone that I had not written to or responded to on Bumble but rather who was angry at me for something that happened between us in person many years prior, and long before I was on Bumble.

This is particularly aggravated by the fact that I had foolishly shelled out $249.99 for a lifetime membership only to have it cancelled with no money returned at all.

I've been using Thrive for a couple of years and it has seriously declined. The deals are great but only when I actually get what I ordered. Sometimes thrive will have a generous discount on a large selection of items as they did a month ago. I took quite a bit of time pouring through the sale items to decide what to stock up on, I probably spent an hour doing this through a somewhat cumbersome process.

The order was delayed. Delayed again. A week later I called them and had them cancel the order. I managed to also find out that the delivery service they use had lost the item, something thrive didn't seem to know. Now, it's a week later and I don't have any of the items. I can order them again but without the 30% sale discount.

A few weeks later there was another, albeit more limited sale. I placed another order on Monday, expecting it would be shipped by Tuesday. On Friday it still has not shipped but they tell me it should ship tomorrow -- of course with tomorrow being a Saturday that likely means Monday. As they use a bottom of the barrel shipper -- ontrack, that order, whenever it finally ships, may get delayed or lost again.

At this point an entire month has gone by and I have not been able to receive anything I ordered. This is not the first time this has happened. I estimate that roughly half of my orders over the past year have been lost or delayed.

If you have lots of patience and only want to order things you don't need anytime soon, this could be a good option for you -- and let's not forget that you get to pay an annual fee to have the privilege of this horrific service.

To be fair, when items are damaged they are good about crediting for them, but shipping/packing is random and chaotic so things are often over packed or liquid items are put in bags which then aren't sealed properly so what's the point?

I wish I could have some of my wasted time and aggravation refunded to me -- I hope you are more fortunate than I am!

Like many others I tried to take advantage of their black Friday sale which seemed to a be a great deal. Now, two months later I'm still waiting for shipment, they have failed to deliver on multiple promises and have stopped responding to my emails. Now I can't login to my account on their website and am wondering if they are out of business.

I filed a dispute with my credit card company,
