Likewise. The one time I used them, I was sent some pretty generic stuff that had little to do with what I specified within my profile.
It's almost as if it didn't matter what I put in my requirements, I was going to be given the same stock pack du jour. I even got this heavy winter coat from them that maybe would have made sense in Minnesota, but had no place in the Bay Area. They were not geography-aware at the time, from what I could tell.
Never used them since, it's easier to go into the store myself.

Generic in terms of your taste or generic in the larger population? IMO the whole reason to have human helpers is to avoid both, while algos can do both kinds of generic well.
