Has anyone ever purchased from Catch? If yes, thoughts?

[-] kudra@aus.social 4 points 1 year ago

@Goddess_Amaterasu @bot001 yes, but not directly, I ordered from eBay and then got the order value refunded as they didn't post anywhere on the auction that they were drop shipping. Hot tip 🔥: I do that every time someone does that from Amazon - I don't give Bezos money if I can help it, and anyone not being clear on eBay they are drop shipping from a large competitor seller are breaking the TOS and deserve to get penalised.

Yeah a handful of times over the years. Items arrived without incident and as advertised. Couldn't fault it.

[-] Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks bull! I’ve seen ads for it but have never used it before and the site seems to have something I need that I can’t seem to get elsewhere. Appreciate your input

[-] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I have a few times, never had any problems.

[-] WeatherproofMonkey@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, bought a few things for the cat during lockdowns and never had any issues.

[-] brave@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I think the real Q is haa anyone ordered fun temu? The prices seem too good to be true.

[-] stardustingss@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Someone I know got a bunch of cheapie kids toys from there and said it was all legit and fast shipping.

[-] kudra@aus.social 1 points 1 year ago

@brave @Goddess_Amaterasu *raises hand* yup, is basically mostly $2 shop type stuff, some good kitchen bits & bobs for cheap, best buy so far has been an under cabinet light which works flawlessly with motion detection for $12, and a really good plug hair catcher with excellent suction cups that I viewed dubiously when opening, for $1.50. A few things I haven't found that useful or cheaper quality than images suggest.

What’s the shipping turn around

[-] ShibbyUp@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I tried. Got an email 4 days later with a refund and a $10 credit to use. Not sure what the go is

[-] SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Yes. No issues at all. It’s a legit business based in Australia.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Many many many times. There's two parts - catch themselves, and marketplace. Catch ships insanely fast, and they will rip into any marketplace seller that tries to dodge you.

[-] Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

What how can you tell which is which?

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

It tells you. Also tells you if the seller is overseas. You can even filter your search results to Catch sold items only.

[-] Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah what I initially saw was from google search then when I went on the official site I saw what she meant. Unfortunately the item I want is marketed

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Still good, i get marketplace stuff all the time. Catch still protects you, they will go after any seller that tries to rip you and forcibly refund no worries.
