Quote:We generally don't buy stuff over the phone.  So much of it is nothing but a scam.  You might get one that works, but the odds are you won't.  Especially if it's not sold in stores, and it's "Buy one, get one free!"  You think it's a great deal, but it's so they can get rid of more of what they've made -- helps recuperate production costs.

 

You have to be careful with them too.  A lot of places will overcharge you, try to stick you with 'upgrades' and such.  And if possible NEVER give them your real phone number.  We were going to order some hair care products that seemed pretty legitimate... only it turned out that you had to join a monthly club. When I told my wife that, she was like "Forget it!"  So I canceled the order.  Unfortunately our number was in the system because I had put it in when trying to order.  They kept calling us, and calling us.

My MIL ordered some pan or cooking thing that offered a second one free. She did it. All she had to do is pay separate S&h. Well, the extra S&h was like 70.00!


Your right though, never order that junk over the phone. A lot of the stuff make their way into stores. Those are the only ones I will even think about buying. I haven't yet, but that darn hose is calling my name.
