What I like best is being able to find the items I desire at a competitive price and with a mobile app that is easy to use. They also have a lot of great brands available.

When goods are this discounted, it makes you wonder why, as if they're all out of style or something

There is no guarantee that what you bought you will get. The moment you press voucher you can say goodbye to your money and you might or might not get. Events might be refunded a few days prior with no explanation and it can take 10 days to get money back.
