Attic Trunk: Tricky shipping cost policy

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:31:50 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - My order hasn't arrived yet but I was surprised that my shipping cost increased by $5 from the amount on my online invoice to the shipping notice. They have you check a box at checkout that means you read and agree to their shipping and sales policy,...

A cheaper swing probably would have been fine

Sat, 25 Oct 2003 17:14:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - We've had a 50-50 success rate with this swing. Our son liked it a lot at first and then grew tired of it pretty quickly. We've found that we can use it occasionally only and don't get the great results that other people seem to have gotten with it, altho...

Thu, 10 Jan 2002 04:20:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - The Panasonic NI-780R has features that at first glance make it seem as if it's the perfect iron:

Steam/dry ironing

Anti-calcium forming design

Detachable water tank

Self-cleaning

Retractable cord

Auto shut-off

Good ol' Mario's Back!

Sun, 21 Oct 2001 02:15:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - I've been a fan of Super Mario and Legend of Zelda on the various Nintendo systems since the beginning, and even though I can't say each game was an improvement over the previous one (in gameplay, not graphics), I can say that I enjoyed every one. Paper...

You Need This If You're Active

Tue, 15 May 2001 03:00:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - You need this if you're active. Otherwise, any number of portable CD players would do.

The Sony G protection (anti-skipping) is truly very good, and I would say is this portable CD player's main asset. If you want to carry music while working...

If you want a cheap, working digital camera, this is it!

Fri, 16 Mar 2001 03:07:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - After trying the Agfa ePhoto Smile digital camera for $90 and not being able to get a single halfway decent picture with it, I wasn't expecting much from this Largan LMini 350 at $70 ($50 after a $20 manufacturer's rebate).

But, you know, I...

Please don't waste your money on this one!

Thu, 30 Nov 2000 03:55:46 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - This camera is not worth anything to me, much less the $89.95 I paid for it. Like others who have purchased this camera, it was my first, and I wanted a simple, inexpensive digital camera to send occasional pictures by email. A very simple wish, I...

Qool.com: Waste of Time!

Fri, 25 Aug 2000 03:13:54 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - I'm a member of many points/free money earning programs on the web, and I'm used to some of the programs changing the rules, or even coming and going after discovering that their idea doesn't work in the "real world."

BUT, it is rare that...

It's Not What You Expect and It's Not For Everyone

Fri, 11 Aug 2000 03:50:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - I almost exclusively play RPGs and I was drawn to Legend of Mana because I loved Secret of Mana and, yes, because of the beautiful graphics in the advertisements. I was not disappointed by the graphics of the game, even though they are 2-D, but let's...

Consistently Good

Sat, 13 May 2000 01:13:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - I've found Greek restaurants to be a hit or miss deal: some are inexpensive and fantastic, some are inexpensive and truly awful, some are expensive and so-so.......Periyali falls into the somewhat expensive yet consistently good category. You are not...

Salaam Only Okay

Wed, 12 Apr 2000 01:12:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - While it is a trek to out-of-the way but trendy TriBeCa to find this restaurant, and while it could easily be passed by on a windy night, the prevailing opinion of those who frequent the place and work nearby is that it's a solid old favorite for Indian...

Paris, Vegas-Style!

Fri, 17 Mar 2000 01:48:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - In the vein of the current trend of themed mega-resorts in Las Vegas comes "Paris!" A grand attempt, to be sure, and one that's bound to be lacking in some areas, but The Hilton boys managed to pull off a not-too-shabby imitation. Actually, the...

OK Card, Questionable Airline

Wed, 16 Feb 2000 04:20:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - I have the regular Bank of America America West FlightFund Visa and other than the annual fee, it is a normal credit card with which I have had no bad experiences in the 1-2 years I have had it. The annual fee I believe is $45 and at the regular level,...

Not what it used to be....

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 23:36:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - but what airline is? I've been flying America West for several years now, 2-3 times a year, cross country, and I've watched it deteriorate right before my eyes. But to be fair, other domestic airlines that I've flown, with the exception of United, also...

Good if you need to save money but....

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 04:18:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - I don't think the price difference is all that great between the San Remo and the Tropicana or the Excalibur, and if I were on a budget, I'd stay at the Trop or the Excalibur instead because of their location, size, and number of amenities.

Strip Tips!

Fri, 28 Jan 2000 03:26:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - Here's a list of tips when visiting the Las Vegas Strip....

1. Wear VERY comfortable shoes. Distances seem shorter on the strip than they really are. The Strip bus tends to be crowded so it's best to grab some local tourist magazines, which...

Monte Carlo is a quiet star!

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 02:11:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - The Monte Carlo is not a flashy hotel. It's doesn't have an overwhelming theme. It doesn't stand out compared to its neighbors, the New York-New York Hotel and the MGM Grand. What it does have though is quiet elegance, solid service and rooms, an...

Riviera: Riviera: Cheap, yes...good, no!

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 02:02:17 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - Although I have not had the "pleasure" of staying at the Riviera, I have visited the hotel on more than one occasion, mainly on my freebie hunts.(Some casinos give away various promotional items.)

I am aware that the Riviera is...

The "Dying" Downtown

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 01:46:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - Although there are many people who still enjoy downtown Las Vegas for many reasons (more like the "old" Vegas, better gambling odds), for my taste and safety, downtown cannot be revived enough for me to go there frequently. My main reason for...

Beats the Nokia Hands Down

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 03:43:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - Having tried the Nokia 6185 before switching to the Qualcomm 2760, I can say that I much prefer the Qualcomm. Yes, the Nokia is hot and popular, yes, it has a lot of bells and whistles, but to me it doesn't have the design sense of the Qualcomm. In terms...

NetGrocer.com: Great for Dry Goods

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 03:25:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gecin - I first ordered from netgrocer when I received a coupon for $10 off an order, and since their shipping is high and variable according to where you live, $5.95 of that ten went to shipping costs.

I've ordered several times since and I've found...
