Totally agree with your critique, but maybe you can enlighten me.. whats the advantage of even having the post numbers? Seems like unnecessary information.

Personally I like that Bootstrap is NOT Themed. It's minimalistic and still very flexible. I believe it should always stay as a BASELINE. I want to build amazing designs on top of it, and save time by not having to copy code again and again for round corners, shadows, forms, tables, etc.

Totally cool. But I am looking for a video that shows you trying to pry two items apart. I want to see how strong the bond is.

The video of the stack of items isn't enough to see how strong the bond truly is.

The other companies sell their labels for $20+ and most have yearly service attachments. Their labels are also either bland or unattractive. Our labels are attractive and we offer them in many colors. We also have free replacements for life whereas the other companies will charge you for replacement labels.

That's great until you're on the phone with customer service and you have to tell them your password. Kind of embarrassing.

Very nice, when you can show me a prototype I'll be happy to give you some feedback.

I think AirBnB was spamming craigslist when they first started, and now their customers are doing it for them. Craigslist is free advertising. (Just a thought)

I find that routine helps quite a bit. Also sitting time limits on what you're working on.

I've read a lot of books on productivity, the one that has stuck with me is called "The 4 Hour Workweek" by Timothy Ferriss. If you haven't read it, read it now.

Thanks for the feedback, I fixed the PHP error.

The colors don't mean anything, just personal preference- not unlike iPod nanos.

We shipped out the labels your cofounder bought earlier today.

What is your business out of curiosity?

Thank you for your feedback.

1. About the reward; the returner does not know what the reward will be, however we do mention that there is a minimum $20 reward.

The business is built around the idea that the general public is good. They generally want to return someone's lost stuff. What we've found so far is that the label just makes the process possible, and painless.

That's why we have the "Good Karma" badge :)

2. Thanks, I have fixed the typo.

3. About the expansion with tamper proof stickers, that's certainly a possibility. We haven't done much corporate business yet, so we're not sure the demand for that sort of thing. Our early customers have mostly been individuals.

Thanks again for the feedback.

You need to redirect people to HTTPS, and your credit card form should have a secure lock icon as well as icons for the credit cards you accept. You should have a little promise on your form like "Your credit card information is encrypted for your protection by Industry-Grade 256bit Encryption and will never be shared."

As far as the rest of your website, for me personally, I trust websites that are polished, simple, and have professional copy. I was really impressed with Swipe.com recently and immediately trusted them.

On the checkout form, I think that you should have the zip code field prefill the city, state, and country fields. Or explicitly limit to US only. I think that people will wonder why you're not asking for their full address, most people don't know you can get city and state data from their zip.

The enlarged radio buttons don't look good on Firefox 7 Mac. In general radio/list/select fields not not scale well.

The 3% fund from you is a nice touch.

There needs to be a link which you can share with other people to help fund your purchase on the account page. Don't see a link.

http://i.crowdfunded.it/crowd_members/?id=4 Does not work.

"You currently have 0 completed funds. " Should be at least 1, right?

I like the idea just needs a little more polish and a lot more pitch. To be honest I just don't trust the service in it's current state.
