Testimonials for The Eco-Shopper

"Recently I visited my favorite store (Patagonia) only to be overwhelmed by so many choices and frustrated by not finding things I liked in my size. Being a typical guy, who likes to get in and out of a store within 15 minutes, I wanted help finding environmentally sensitive products without running all over town or searching for hours on the Internet. Your service provides exactly what I want, at an affordable price. In fact, your service fee more than paid for itself by finding products that were 40%-60% off! Specifically, I wanted three items: a recycled-fleece coat, a pair of cool vegan trail shoes, and a pair of organic cotton khakis. Within 48 hours of my request, I had links to 5-10 different websites for each item, highlighting top recommended choices. Everything was exactly what I wanted! I found the shoes at a local retail store, and quickly ordered the other two items on-line. It was the most pleasant shopping experience of my life. I’m sending another request order for more! Thanks EcoShopper! Keep up the good work!"

"This service is ideal for a person like me who has rigorous values about the quality and origins of consumer products, but little time, skill, or tolerance for shopping. For example, I can look for an organic cotton blanket (Google or Froogle) and find 50 sites, but after an hour I still have no idea which is the best blanket at the best price, the best company, the best shipping, etc. To me, avoiding hours of frustration is so worth the reasonable fee to have it all wrapped up for me. For the past two years, I’ve taken advantage of the “Christmas package”--I had Robyn do almost all my Christmas shopping. She came up with loads of great gift ideas for everyone on my list and found the best places to order them. She has amazing instincts about what people will like, a wealth of info on what’s out there, and seemingly limitless access to resources for incredible sustainable products. I didn’t have to go to the detested mall or “BIG BOX MART” one time. Everyone on my list got really cool, distinctive gifts--and I felt great about where they came from. (And I had them well before Christmas eve!) Having items shipped to me (usually at no cost) meant no traffic, no checkout lines, and no grumpy Christmas shoppers to deal with--it makes the whole season so much more enjoyable. I can’t even begin to guess what all that is worth to me. It’s the only way to go!"

"I couldn't be more delighted with your service! I really dislike shopping, yet I have strong values and comfort preferences. So I've avoided buying new shoes for a year -- and now, in just two days, you found me 22 links! I'm so happy to have fashionable, comfortable vegan shoes to choose from. I never would have been able to track down so many options on my own. I've already ordered two pairs and am thrilled to be able to support progressive merchants. I'll be back (and I won't wait a year)."

"I can't wait until my kids' new hemp sneakers arrive. Dressing my daughter's pair up with purple laces was a great idea. Thanks! My husband and I have used this purchase as an opportunity to talk with our kids about our choice to support cruelty-free, sustainable, and fair-trade products. The kids had not realized that most shoes are made from cows -- it was a big eye-opener to them. Similarly, it was an eye-opener to me this summer when you informed me that the sunscreen I had been using on the kids (bought at the natural market!) contained harmful chemicals. The kids prefer the texture of the brand you recommended, and I feel comforted that the ingredients are safe. I can't emphasize enough how terrific your service is for a mom like me who wants to find the safest, healthiest products for her kids. You have also helped our family stay consistent with our values by sleuthing out the hard-to-find eco-items such as soy crayons, vegan kids' shoes, and sweatshop-free business clothes. Sign us up for your Christmas shopping service!"
