Banned Internet Brands

The email made me chuckle, because the CSR seemed almost offended that I'd submitted a negative review. I took him up on the offer for a refund -- I appreciated that. But now I know not to believe any reviews on CI.

I never believe any of their reviews - always finding hidden "gems" in some forgotten warehouse.

Sounds like pure hype to me. CI seems to say anything to sell some sticks.
