Is Carets legit?
Is Carets legit? On record — independent trust score 47/100, computed from public data, not paid reviews. Strongest signal: established catalog of 34 distinct products. Main caveat: no public shipping policy found. The catalog carries 34 products, and of the 34 we sampled 100% carry an image and 100% a real description. The domain has been registered since 2004 (22 years), not a freshly-made lookalike. Recomputed 2026-10-30 from carets.com's own public feed and policy pages.
