Curated.com legitimate?
Has anyone ever heard of this company, I was in contact with them about finding a road bike. This company uses experts in different categories/fields from cycling, snowboarding, and other outdoor activities to help find you the best products for you. I was using them last night to help me find a road bike and they were able to help me find a BMC MC roadmachine ONE size 58 cm. Before I make a decision on purchasing this bike I am trying to see if this is a legitimate company?

(1) Not BBB accredited. If that tells you something...
curated.com | Complaints | Better Business Bureau® Profile (bbb.org)
(2) Obtain a sales agreement/contract that stipulates your rights if not satisfied with the product (i.e., return and refund policy, your liability)
(3) Using a credit card with strong consumer protections will give you another layer of defense
(4) Roll the dice. It's only money.

Bloomburg.com doesn't usually write articles about a fraud unless they are exposing a fraud, so it sounds legit:

People can lodge complaints even for companies that are not BBB members.

If you are unsure, do you really want to give them your money? Legit or not if you aren't feeling it don't spend your money there. Plenty of great bike shops around the country and the globe who could help you find a bike and you can actually walk in and talk with real live people mask to mask (with 6 feet in between)
