I was contacted via Facebook from ByAllison. They offered to send me their product for review. I certainly don't have a problem doing that. I usually sort all the puzzle pieces into piles and have used other puzzle trays. Often the piles go straight from the first sort to being laid out onto foam boards. However....
I thought I would take the opportunity to test the ByAllison's puzzle trays on my current puzzle I have on the table - the Ravensburger 32,000 pieces New York City Window jigsaw puzzle.
So, the package came in a timely manner and packaged well, with no damages to the box. Once out of the packing box, I lifted the top cover of the 'good quality' box, open . You can see how well the trays sit - nice and snug in the box. From there, I opened up the '4 arms' that 'seal' the trays into position, being held down with velcro strips. Continues below...

I took each tray out and snapped the trays in the corners (very easily) so they would have depth. The goal would be to sort the NYC Window 2nd bag which holds over 4000 pieces. I emptied the bag into 2 puzzle boxes. From there I started the sorting process of all the pieces into the eight different colored trays. Eight trays seemed to be more than enough for the first round of sorting of bag #2.

Once I finished the sorting, which took about 2 hours, most of the trays were adequately filled...so that was over 4000 pieces sorted into 8 trays. IF I was doing a 1500 piece puzzle I could easily stack all 8 trays into each other then seal them up with the '4 arms' securely as (shown below) that is what the product is made for. That said, I did attempt sealing my 8 full trays with the 4000 pieces and they did (just barely) fit - BUT!! that is not how this product is supposed to be used. SO do NOT attempt that.
instead of using the outer casing, I sealed all 8 trays of puzzle pieces into clear plastic bags with twist ties as shown below. Now I will continue to use the trays as we start Bag B of the NYC Window puzzle. Even though I am not using the outer shell in my case, I know I will find these trays very useful for the next 6 bags of my NYC Window puzzle AND I the pieces get decreased in each of the trays I will be able to use the outer casing for storage and transporting the pieces to different locations.

About: Safe Online Shopping, Protecting Yourself from Scams
Online shopping has become increasingly popular, offering convenience and a vast array of products at your fingertips. However, it's important to stay vigilant and protect yourself from potential scams and fraudulent activities. In this article, we'll provide you with essential tips and insights on how to shop safely online and spot potential scams.
1. Shop from Reputable Websites
Stick to well-known and trusted online retailers. Look for websites with secure connections (https://) and familiar payment gateways. Be cautious when dealing with unfamiliar websites or sellers, especially if their prices seem too good to be true.
2. Protect Your Personal Information
Never share sensitive personal information, such as your Social Security number or full address, unless it's necessary for a legitimate purchase. Legitimate online retailers will only require essential details like your name, shipping address, and payment information.
3. Secure Payment Methods
Opt for secure payment methods, such as credit cards or trusted payment platforms like PayPal. These methods offer additional protection and can help you dispute charges if necessary. Avoid using direct bank transfers or wiring money to unknown sellers.
4. Read Customer Reviews
Before making a purchase, take the time to read customer reviews and ratings. Genuine feedback from other shoppers can provide insights into the product's quality, customer service, and the reliability of the seller.
5. Verify Seller Authenticity
If you're purchasing from a third-party seller on a marketplace, verify their authenticity. Look for seller ratings, reviews, and their track record on the platform. Be cautious of sellers with limited information or negative feedback.
6. Be Wary of Suspicious Emails and Links
Beware of phishing attempts through emails or messages that appear to be from trusted retailers. Scammers often try to trick users into clicking on malicious links or providing personal information. Avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading attachments from unknown sources.
7. Look for Secure Checkout Processes
Ensure that the checkout process is secure and encrypted. Look for security seals or logos indicating the website's commitment to protecting your information. A lock symbol in the address bar is also an indication of a secure connection.
8. Use Strong and Unique Passwords
Create strong and unique passwords for your online accounts. Avoid using easily guessable information and consider using a password manager to securely store your login credentials.
9. Keep Your Devices and Software Updated
Regularly update your devices, operating systems, and antivirus software to protect against the latest security threats. Enable automatic updates whenever possible to ensure you have the latest security patches.
10. Trust Your Instincts
If a deal seems too good to be true or if something feels off, trust your instincts. Exercise caution and refrain from proceeding with the purchase if you have doubts about the seller or the website's authenticity.
Recognizing Potential Scams: Warning Signs
While shopping online, it's crucial to be aware of common signs of scams:
Stay Safe and Shop with Confidence
By following these tips and remaining vigilant, you can shop online with confidence. Remember to research the seller, read reviews, protect your personal information, and use secure payment methods. By prioritizing your online safety, you can enjoy the convenience and wide selection offered by online shopping while minimizing the risks of falling victim to scams. Happy and secure online shopping!
