  • ExperienceProject

2/24/14

I joined this site in 2012, as I am a sufferer of Anxiety and Depression, and was in search of people to talk to with similar interests and/or disorders. At first, I felt very welcome on ExperienceProject; I met a lot of nice people, being able to freely express myself was very liberating; it was comforting to know there were others out there like myself. I met some great people who encouraged me and offered support, I met people who eventually became my friends no matter that they lived across the ocean. It felt nice to be accepted, even if it was only online.

However, the site took took a turn for the worse in mid-2012, even though it was never perfect to begin with. I think this might be due to the fact that the website became more known as time passed, which meant more visitors. People first started to visit this online community to find like-minded people, to be able to express themselves without judgement and negativity, to make friends from all over the world who share our interests—it was just a very safe, small, casual website where everyone seemed like a family that helped each other out. Now, it's rare to discover any of this amongst all the mess EP has created.

It is now full of pointless changes that do not serve any of the Users appropriately. The ExperienceProject staff do not take our ideas, advice, or concerns into consideration. In fact, they never respond to any emails, even if it's regarding something serious such as harassment or a site error. They ignore every message sent to them. There are a lot of sexual predators, a lot of sick minded and sadistic people who are into unnatural and horrendous fetishes. Old men talking to thirteen year olds. Pornographic images and sexual messages being sent out. Disturbing Experience Groups and Stories and Questions being shared; a lot of what they do is either illegal or morally wrong. The things these people talk about are sickening to the stomach; very repulsive and vulgar, gruesome and vicious, nauseating and perverted. There are a lot of death threats, people trying to coax others into their sexual fantasies. There's a lot of spam and scammers and false advertisements. Cyber-Bullying is also increasing on ExperienceProject, I've dealt with it first hand a lot of times, and never did the EP staff help. They have Reporting and Flagging options, but even when you're being threatened or bullied to the extreme, clicking those buttons does absolutely nothing—EP do not respond or take action.

This site was very close to my heart when I first discovered it; it was the first time I felt like I belonged somewhere. However, it's no longer the same site anymore, and I do not recommend it to anyone who is thinking to sign up. It is becoming a very unsafe and disturbing website.

Their fashion is a little "out there" for me, but occasionally I'll find something that I like. But this is why I have only ordered from Boohoo.com once so far. I had no issues with the payment and shipping process; I ordered two dresses, and was grateful for the free shipping. They're based in the UK, and me being in Australia I understood the delivery time would be a little extra.

My dresses took about two weeks to arrive. One dress had a brown stain, kind of like a dirty finger print, and it was very obvious due to the bright colour of the dress. Both dresses came with poor plastic belts that were useless; they were far too long and flimsy, I had to wrap the belt around my waist twice for it to fit. The dresses come in different sizes, but the belts don't, as if they expect one belt to fit sizes from 6 through to 18.

The dresses, however, fit me to a T; they were the perfect shape and size.

International shipping is too pricey.

They were having a sale, and I ordered a jumper for $8. I went through the process of buying my item, only to then come across the shipping expense—$48! How is this even remotely fair for customers? They have cheap clothing, but the end amount isn't cheap when you include the ridiculous shipping rate. How can they ask customers to pay more for shipping than the actual product? The jumper was only $8, but I had to pay $40 to ship? No way.

It would have been fine if it was the other way around, it'd have made more sense, and it'd be worth my money. What they do, is like going to a bakery and asking for a $3 pie and then having to pay triple that for them to put in a paper bag.

Terrible customer service. Never responds to emails. Their international shipping is beyond expensive; you're usually paying more for the shipping than the actual product. I realise shipping items across the world can be costly, however I've joined many other sites where international shipping is below $10, and FREE. Pinkice seems to just want more money out of us. Even if you buy a pair of shorts for $10, the price of shipping is still $41. It's just ridiculous. I could buy 3-4 pairs of shorts for $41 dollars and get free postage at many other sites—Boohoo. Com, for example.

Nothing but trouble with Yesstyle.com.

Ordered my item on the 29th of January, had to wait 20 days for them to ship my purchase, even when it said on the product page that it would be sent within 7-14 days. They supposedly shipped my item on February 18th, but they didn't offer a Tracking Number until a week later. Today, I went to track my order using the Tracking Number, and apparently it doesn't even exist.

I was told I'd receive my item 7-14 business days starting after February 18th. However, I have no idea if I'm ever going to receive it considering I can't even track where it is; I have no proof that it's even been shipped.

If I don't receive my purchase, and even if I do, it'll be the last time I ever shop at Yesstyle.com.

I ordered a pair of shoes on the 23rd of January; they clearly stated on their website, and the items page, that they'd ship the product within 24 hours. It actually took them 7 days to ship my item. I received my purchase mid-February. I was annoyed by the fact that they did not follow through with their shipping description, however I was glad to receive my item in good condition.

I had not researched information about Dresslily.com when I found their website, which was stupid of me, but luckily I haven't had a negative outcome. However, now I've taken the time to read reviews about this website, and have heard nothing but negative feedback. Typically in regards to customers orders never being shipped, never arriving. I was shocked by this, due to my somewhat positive outcome in dealing with Dresslily.

I've also read on the ScamAdviser website that Dresslily is not safe, and is a 100% scam. Again, I was shocked by this as I was not scammed. But I will be cautious from now on. I'm uncertain on whether I'll order from them again after what I've read.
