    Happy with the products, but disappointed that it so long to receive it. Item was ordered on April 29th and they shipped on April 30th first class mail- it finally came on May 21st. Good thing it wasn't anything that was needed right away.

    It's obnoxious that the site tries to sell customers other things during the checkout process. The purchase button is brighter and more noticeable than the "No thanks" button, which probably tricks many naive customers and makes them not want to shop here again.
