Based on style I would start them at 4 stars. However, I m removing 1 star because I ve found many of the exact same products for much less on other sites, even including the manufacturer s own website. McGee adds a ridiculous upcharge to their products, just giving them different names so you can t easily price shop. TIP: Use the Pinterest Chrome extension and you ll be able to find the same or similar product pinned by other retailers. I saved over $100 on a rug using that.
The second star deduction is because they charge shipping BY PRICE. What retailer in their right mind does this when we live in the age of free shipping? Yes, they are not Amazon but they have to compete in a retail environment influenced by Amazon (that s how capitalism works). Most small businesses at least just charge you what they have to pay for shipping which is, you know, based on weight/dimensions. They're not trying to make a profit off of shipping. Charging $9 shipping for a hand towel which you've overpriced at $35 is highway robbery.
I've told our interior designer to not suggest any more products from McGee until they change their pricing practices.
