Measuredup.com gets in the last word
How are you doing with your holiday shopping? Are you one of those horribly efficient people who had eveything bought, wrapped and shipped before the Thanksgiving turkey was carved? Yeah, me neither. I’m still trying to work up my nerve to face the hordes at the malls. I’m not crazy about shopping crowds on any given day, but during the holiday season? Ai, ai, ai!
I’ll go, of course. The only way I know to keep my sanity, though, is to do some homework first. I’ll read the Sunday papers and do some surfing around the net to find specific items I want and to find out where I can get them. I’ll ask friends and family about their experiences with the things I want to buy and the merchants that carry them. And now that I know about MeasuredUp.com I’ll go there too, to find out how real people have rated the products and services I’m interested in.
Wouldn’t you rather know how actual consumers feel about something than to have to rely on the information in a slick advertising campaign? That’s what MeasuredUp.com provides! Real people like you and me provide ratings based on real-world experiences. If the surly barista at a certain coffee shop always gets the orders wrong, wouldn’t you like to know that ahead of time so you can go to the one around the corner where friendly and efficient personnel take good care of the customers? If your favorite department store’s return policy is to wear you down with red tape so you’ll give up, don’t you want to spare others from the same ordeal? Of course you do! That’s kind of information you’re not going to find on the company website, but you’ll find it on MeasuredUp.com. I’ve already bookmarked MeasuredUp.com and know I’ll be visiting there before I do my shopping. I’ll be going back afterwards, too, so I can share my own experiences and help others. It’s the least I can do, since they’ll be helping me avoid some shopping nightmares! MeasuredUp.com - where shoppers have the last word!

Um yeah…I’m the one you mentioned, bought, wrapped and been in my guest room since mid-Nov. LOL I’m glad you found this place though, I’m definitely bookmarking it. I usually go to Amazon.com to see if there are ratings before I buy something and it’s directed me toward certain products and definitely steered me clear of some duds! Thanks for the new resource!
Aloha!

Your welcome, Ann! I’ve been using MeasuredUp.com the last few days as prep work for my one big holiday shopping day. It’s calming my anxiety about the crowds a bit since I’ve narrowed down where I need to go.:D

Angie, you’re so nice in other ways so I won’t hate you for having your shopping done early, but I’ll still stick my tongue out at you, lol!
Hope you’ve found some good uses for MeasruredUp.com.
