Excellent trustworthy review site…

Excellent trustworthy review site designed for the costumers not the company's. staff are easy to work with and always reply quickly and to the best of their ability Sitejabber doesn't have the same laws or stiff rules Trustpilot has where the company's clearly manipulate this to their benefit. No give me Sitejabber any day over Trustpilot who i don't trust at all.

Hi Sonny! Trustpilot is not affiliated with Sitejabber by any means. You may not be seeing your review due to our Review Filter. The filter uses an algorithm that attempts to display only the most relevant content by screening certain reviews. Reasons reviews might be filtered include: suspected solicited reviews in violation of our terms of service, suspected site-promotion spam (positive reviews), suspected competitor spam (negative reviews), language use, irrelevant content, and other terms of service violations. The same filter and algorithm is applied to every review. You may see reviews move in and out of the filter as the filter learns more about the trustworthiness of the reviews of a particular site. I hope this helps.

Great Review Site

After spending a lot of time writing reviews on other websites, I've found SiteJabber to have an easy-to-use website with a great user interphase experience. Similarly to other reviews sites, there are always some reviews that get through that have nothing to do with the company, are completely unhelpful, or are gibberish, but I've had that experience less with SiteJabber than Trustpilot. SiteJabber does have about 1.5 million site visits per day (as per SimilarWeb) compared to Trustpilot's 30 million+ per day, but I like their site a lot especially with the community of reviewers. I like that users can see how many times their reviews were viewed, one another's votes on each review, and reviewers' fans.Overall great experience

This website made my online experience flawless

This is a great website! I always check it when dealing with online services. It helped me to stay off the poor services and check only the best, so most of my online experiences are free from troubles. This was a great idea indeed, and good that the website moderators do not intervene a lot. Reviews sound natural and looks like they easily recognize fake ones to delete them.

Posted my review and then a few days later took it down and ghosted me. Looks like they are actually an online scam to extort companies by posting negative reviews, and then removing them, I presume for a fee.

Don't post real reviews

I've tried leaving a couple reviews on sitejabber, both times the reviews were never posted, what's the point?

Hey Mike, there are two things that could’ve happened here that are resulting in you not seeing your reviews. Either the review was filtered (more info on that can be found at https://www.sitejabber.com/faq#filter), or more information was required. We hope this helps.

Way better than Trustpilot so far

Way better than Trustpilot so far. Not deleting reviews just because they are unflattering for the company. Sadly also lack of control over some seemingly fake reviews. But definitely more reliable than Trustpilot

Ultimate comfort...

Super easy to assemble. Quality is far better than expected. One thing i really appreciate about this chaise lounge is the seating cushion which provides long lasting comfort... Velvet fabric is so plush and softness is amazing.Very pleased with the item...

"Highly recommended product"

Simply a beautifully crafted sofa. I really like the fabric of the sofa and the two pillows provides an attractive and fresh look to this sofa. It is perfect for my home and i am happy that it is very easy to have it moved from one place to another as per the requirement/needs. Also i received the item on discounted price. No issue with the purchase. Everyone liked it.
