Common complaints

This upward trend coincides with the introduction of creative promotions like the temperature-based discount campaign, which received strong approval. While some users noted a lack of regular sales in early 2026, the return of targeted offers helped restore confidence.

Overall, ifolor delivers strong quality and service, and the price becomes more justified when timed with a promotion.
