We would laugh at my mother-in-law who got boxes from QVC every day. Now, we see boxes from Amazon everyday and wonder "what's the difference?" Am going to avoid this Flip craze as long as possible!
May I just point out that if FLIP is like most Silicon Valley e-commerce sites, it is run by the far left. I bet most of its staff is anti-Israel and won't hesitate to shut down an account if that person is found to be against the present woke dogma.
Remember how Paypal (started by Elon Musk) got taken over by the Marxists, and they became so totalitarian, they threatened to fine people $2500 for misinformation, which was essentially anything that didn't meet leftist dogma.
Suzy, despite your (hopefully now former) Progressive bona fides, you really would decide not to support such people.
“According to its site, Flip is for people whose “standards are serious,” as if it’s an advanced condition.“
Playing on the concept of aesthetics, it sells you the fantasy that this “magic pill” will improve their lives. Snake oil salespitches and carnival barkers for the 21st century. Good to know it hasn’t died; it just plays on our vanities in new, updated clothes.
Sell all my contacts, pictures, etc? Open kimono for all my friends? No way and I would be pretty angry if one of my friends did that and now Flip had my info.
This article remind me of my clients that struggle with gambling addiction. How Flip front loaded the reinforcement schedule is kind of brilliant actually. Tread carefully Suzzy, or Flip will get you.
Does the Flip site provide importing details? I will not buy from Amazon anything that I do not know country of origin, which is most of their consumer goods. Requiring importation info and manufacturing country is required on every product sold in Canada and yet Amazon.ca is not required to post this information...a lapse that I struggle to understand since they are retailers selling imported goods whether in brick and mortar or not. I'm sure the US has similar labelling laws and a similar Amazon.com issue.
Consumers can't make a choice without information, and I, for one, like to consciously know with whom I'm doing business and supporting with my purchases.
Seems to be the way of it. Sometimes there just isn’t a choice but to buy from China. I found a wok made in Taiwan though and I happily purchased that.

I laughed so much at this, thanks, and hard pass.

Thanks for the warning, Suzy. 😳
Hilarious write-up, loved it Suzie, thank you!
Wow - this sounds awful... So. Much. Stuff. It feels like a hoarder's fever dream.
sounds like more wasted time (and money) spent on the internet/social media of our day. note the word wasted, cause you can't get back that time. rich
Abu Dahabi now has unfettered access to millions of women’s phones. It really is the TikTok of shopping🤦♂️

I will "flip off" anyone who invites me to join Flip

You should probably assume that 99% of everything you buy online is made in China -- even American brands!

Anything that's "like TikTok" is something humans should avoid.
Suzy, you always make me giggle: selling all your contacts for $35 seems fair when you deliver gems like this...
