Not much to complain about
Usually very reliable. The app has the friendliest and most convenient user interface out of any German carrier by far. Prices are a bit high.

Review of hugedomains.com
Most of these one star reviews complain about their expired domains being "stolen" by HugeDomains. There is no such thing. If you're careless enough to let your domain expire, which I can't even conceive of considering virtually all registrars let you auto-renew, your domain is up for grabs. Of course services like these are going to take advantage of that. There is nothing "scummy" or "immoral" about it, it's an inevitable part of the domain economy. Simple solution: keep track of your expiration dates or enable auto-renewal!
That being said, I've had a near seamless experience purchasing a domain from them. I'm deducting one star because the domain transfer to NameBright wasn't immediate (it should be in my opinion). It's somewhat unnerving knowing you've just spent a large sum of money on a domain that's floating around in purgatory somewhere. After about 12 hours though, the transfer was complete and I got to sign up at NameBright. Done.

Review of Hermes Germany
Zwei gescheiterte Zustellversuche, obwohl ich einen Ablageort festgelegt habe. Das zweite Mal war ich sogar zuhause; Der Paketbote hat nicht einmal geklingelt. Man muss sich wirklich langsam fragen, was ein Hermes-Paketbote den ganzen Tag macht... Dazu kommt, dass man die Wunsch-Zustellungsoption nicht noch einmal abändern kann. D.h. nachdem man z.B. einen Ablageort festgelegt hat, kann das Paket nicht mehr an einen Paketshop umgeleitet werden. Hermes schleppt also lieber drei Tage dasselbe Paket mit sich bevor es dann wieder an den Absender zurückgeht, anstatt es mal eben in einem Paketshop abzugeben... Unbegreifbar. Nie wieder Hermes!
Review of Kastner & Öhler Österreich
Alles so wie beschrieben. Von der Bestellung bis zur Lieferung hat es 6 Tage gedauert, völlig in Ordnung für eine Sendung aus Österreich.

Review of Dataannotation
Made a fair bit of money working for them, but after about two months of consistent work, projects dried up completely. My project page has been empty for over two months now. The sudden lack of projects makes me assume it's performance-related, but I haven't received individual feedback or any indication that the quality of my work had declined. Emailed support about a month ago and never heard back. Overall, the experience has left me frustrated and confused, but they do pay reliably.
Review of OneForma
I took the time to do a bunch of qualifications in order to receive project offers, which I eventually did and lots of them. While trying to apply for my first project, I got an error message stating my account was locked due to "suspicious activity". I've since learned that they use third-party IP checkers, and the one they use apparently classifies my IP as spam/fraudulent due to activity that occurred years ago, before I even moved into my place. If you get the same error message, you might as well delete your account right then and there because support will not respond to your emails. In short, I wasted a lot of time on qualifications for nothing, and their vendor support is completely unresponsive.
Review of Freecash
Freecash massively oversells the amount of money you can reasonably earn in a short amount of time. Most offers are massive time sinks that pay fractions of a cent each, or a couple of cents if they feel generous. Unless you spend hours a day grinding these offers, your earnings are negligible. The following might be a matter of taste, but to me the games offered were awful, mind-numbing trash. Playing them was honestly torturous, and I was happy to delete both my Freecash account and the games once I reached the threshold for my first payout. Don't use PayPal for payouts, as there are massive fees attached.

Review of SEPHORA
Selected the 'Packstation' delivery option, but Sephora treated the address like a residential address. Instead of using the Packstation I selected, they used the street number of the Packstation, and they completely missed the DHL customer number I had entered at checkout. DHL was inevitably unable to deliver the package and sent it back. Sephora, don't offer the 'Packstation' delivery option if you don't know how to print the label correctly!
Review of Zaviera
I ordered a zip-up hoodie with fleece lining. The name of the jacket contained "fleece" and the fleece lining was clearly visible on the pictures. The hoodie that arrived did not have *any* lining and barely resembled the pictures on the website. The jacket did not have *any* tags (no brand, no size, no materials, no laundry symbols...) and no delivery note was included in the package. Of course, I did not expect items from a German retailer to be shipped directly from China and without a pre-paid return slip. Shipping this jacket back to China would cost me €20, roughly half of the price of the original jacket. This is obviously done on purpose to discourage people from returning any items. I complained to customer service about the deceptive photos on the website and demanded them to pay for the return. No response. Incredibly frustrating and probably illegal.

Review of DPD Pakketservice
Extra zuhause auf das Paket gewartet. Live-Standort war schon mal völlig falsch; Der Paketbote stand plötzlich vor der Tür, obwohl er laut App noch einen halben Kilometer entfernt sein sollte. Der Typ hat sturmgeklingelt und ich habe sofort per Freisprechanlage mehrmals den Türöffner betätigt. Das hat der Paketbote ignoriert und ist einfach wieder samt Paket gegangen (wahrscheinlich weil er keine Lust hatte, ein paar Treppenstufen hochzugehen—wir haben übrigens einen Aufzug). Genau diese Situation hatte ich jetzt schon zum zweiten Mal. Die Zeit, während ich brav zuhause auf mein Paket gewartet habe, hätte ich auch anders nutzen können. Völlige Zeitverschwendung.
