Apart from the fact, that so far they haven't actually shipped anything to anyone, my biggest gripe with Lockerz is their "advertisement model".
One of the more seedy (and creative) places on the interwebs, 4chan's Random board, which has spawn plenty of internet memes (Rickroll and LOLCats are just two), has been spammed over the past coupld of weeks by users posting about this awesome new site, that's giving away stuff for free (Lockerz of course).
Unfortunately, one of the posters was a bit sloppy in covering up the name and adress of the package he had recieved (which by the way, anyone with the least experience in the postage service, could tell had not been through the mail system), allowing other users to look him up through Google.
The result? The person who had posted an image of himself with random items he had allegedly recieved from Lockerz, was shown to be the employee of a viral marketing firm out of Seattle.
It would appear that Lockerz had hired this marketing firm to make Lockerz a new forced meme. Ask yourself, if this is a trustworthy form of advertising?
