Shipping and Handling Extra

Published by kerriepeeves at 6:26 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

I used to love ordering things over the phone and having them come in the mail.  Recently I was watching a commercial on Qubo for Space Bags and decided I absolutely had to have them for my perpetual decluttering and home organization project.

 

So I order them over the phone.  A human being doesn’t even answer the phone; it’s all automated.  I pushed the option for the Space Bags set I wanted, but the system kept asking me over and over if I wanted this other thing, also.  I kept saying no, and it kept asking me anyway.

 

Finally I get past that and they ask me if I want to double my order for a super-cheap price.  I went for it!  Then they tacked on a ton of shipping and handling.  I’m noticing they do that with “free” stuff the offer lately, as well.  You get a “free” booklight with your order of Whatever, but you pay $10 for shipping and handling.
