Has anyone ever used Alice.com

[opteeka]

I just got a email about Alice.com. It sounds to good to be true. Best prices on household items and free shipping and no need to cut coupons. Anyone ever use them?

 

[horseshowmom]

I actually signed up but never got around to using them. I got good reviews on here, and I found the prices to be competitive with Wal-Mart. I need to get around to trying them.

I've received about 4-5 orders from them so far. I'm very happy. I order only items that I can't get cheaper anywhere else. You have to order 6 items but that's pretty easy for me. Free shipping. Nice packaging. Arrives quickly.

I look for items with a 50% savings or more. I will get emails listing specials deals - trying to remember:
Bounty Paper Towels .59
Dish Liquid Ultra Concentrated Dishwashing Liquid .84
Pantiliners Kotex Pantiliners .41
Kleenex Tissues .83
Clorox Toilet Bowl Cleaner $1.44
Suave shampoo .60

I can't find these cheaper elsewhere even if I have a coupon - plus the cost of gas to drive there. I'm also trying to avoid holiday traffic and parking lot craziness.

So for me personally I love alice.com

Agreed Alice has had some really good deals. I bought deodorant for everyone's stocking for like $.50

Also I will send my brother in law Alice care packages, it is easier than going to the grocery store and mailing myself (he's a freshman in college)--think he gets the hint when I send him laundry detergent and soap before the holiday?

Subscribing...gotta check this out.

Thank you for the feedback. I went ahead and placed my 1st order today. I will let you know how it works.

Thank you again for all the great feedback.

Love Alice!

I have saved a bit by using Alice. I find their prices to be a few cents cheaper than Walmart (significantly cheaper than my grocery store) and then I usually just buy things that have a coupon. (For example: the shampoo my DH likes is $5.97 at walmart. It was $5.41 on alice and it had a $1 coupon.)

For me, the big draw is not having to go to the store. I live in a rural area. We just got a nice grocery store in the nearby town this summer, so now with Alice I no longer need to drive to Walmart (30-40mins each way).


The shipping time and packaging is the best I have received from any online store.

This is the most amazing thing EVER. I hate shopping for stuff like this. I really do. This couldn't have been easier. SO cool!! Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Thanks for mentioning this site. I just checked them out and made my first order - can't beat that free shipping, and they had some great deals on some cleaning supplies and personal care products.

I just signed up to look around. Is there a "deals" section? It seems hard to navigate, but that's probably just me.

I have used Alice.com. It was really easy and it's pretty cool. I had to send my mom some different vitamins, etc, so I figured instead of buying the stuff and shipping it, I'd just order from them and save the middle man. They were fast and efficient and I really liked it. I thought the prices were really reasonable. Sometimes I could coupon better, sure, but with the convenience I could see how people would definitely like it.

 

[edk35]

I think it takes a while to go through and get what you normally buy and either put it in your cart or on your shelf (so to speak) for later. However I think there are some great deals on every day products that most people use. I was able to switch a brand of something here or there and save with the coupons. I think this is an awesome site/service. I am placing my first order tonight. I want to make sure my daughter who is college has all she needs when she goes back to college. So....I will wait until I talk to her before I hit SEND.

What's the easiest way of finding the bargain products? I'm finding the website kind of hard to navigate.

I've used Alice several times and love them. After a few orders, I started figuring out when I needed to reorder things and have them arrive right before I run out. I've never had any problems and really enjoy the option. There's not a Wal-mart near me, so I usually end up getting this kind of stuff at either the regular grocery store or Target - both of which end up being much more expensive than Alice.

The more you use it, the easier it is since all the items you order go into your "my products" list... so you can just click and reorder it all.

They've also started including samples with orders. I got 3 samples with my last order. One was a full size box of tea bags. One was some kind of lotion/moisturizer. And the last was a 2 pack of Dropps - the little dissolving packets of laundry detergent. Actually kind of excited to try those out.

For the really low prices on some things go to "Other Ways to Shop" at the top right, then click on "Shop the Best Deals." It's always kind of random what they have there, but it's where you'll find the 50 cent deodorant and things like that.

This DOES sound amazing! I can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing

 

[EvanMaddieMouse]

Argh! I got to the site, registered, starting shopping, and then suddenly I couldn't go further---they are having "scheduled maintenance"--at the same time I first find out about the site! What luck is that?

 

[opteeka]

So I ordered for the 1st time yesterday and I have already received a tracking number from ups that my order has shipped. That is fast service.

 

[patsal]

Thanks for the information. I gave it a try. I agree the site is a bit overwhelming, but I did the other ways to shop and then best deals and I was able to get what I wanted with no issues. I did learn that you cannot get multiples for the ultra low price--the first one will be ultra low like 59cent paper towels, but the second one, third, one etc. go in as the 89 cents--still not a bad price but just a heads up! One way around this is to get the 2 different scents of toilet bowl cleaner by ordering one of eachand you get the discount on both--like I'm going to lean in and really know what that smells like anyway! lol

Anyway I hate Walmart my store is just overwhelming on a good day and ape crap on a bad one! This will work really well for me!

VERY off-topic, but I have to say - this is the GREATEST quote about WalMart that I've ever read!!!

 

[mamo-4-wdw]

This is great, Thanks OP!
Our truck is in the shop getting a new fan, everyone is sick and I can't drag tp ,paper towels and laundry detergent on the bus!
What a great site. I spent an hour putting my products together and requested 4 other products,got an email that they are working on that. They are super fast !
Now if they would just have milk, butter and bread we would be set.
How long does it take to get your order and where do they ship it from?
