An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A third of orders do not match the description or photos, delivery is unpredictable, and the Choice program return policy turns out to be unavailable in practice. Gamification and aggressive pop-ups get in the way of navigation. That said, the platform is one of the few places to find rare components and niche items at low prices.

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

They'll take your money, but let your item never show up and there's no refund or replacement you have to have your bank block the charges

I'm not very happy with the site for one the very first order I received. I was not happy with two of the products that was in there because they were not what they look like in the picture on the site.
