BENDAROOS RIP OFF

I JUST STARTED TO ORDER THE PRODUCT MY DAUGHTER SHOWED INTEREST IN BENDAROOS. THE PROCESS STARTS BY POSTING THE PRODUCT AND PRICE WITH SHIPPING INCLUDED AND THE MATH IS BASIC. SO I FIGURED THE AMOUNT WOULD BE WHAT THEY SHOWED AND PROCEEDED TO ENTER MY DEBIT CARD INFORMATION. WHEN I WAS DONE THEY OFFERED ME A DIFFERENT DEAL THAT WAS BETTER BUT I STUCK WITH MY ORIGINAL DEAL. WELL THEY KEPT OFFERING ME OTHER BETTER DEALS I REFUSED. THEN THEY OFFERED AN ADDITIONAL PACKAGE OF BENDAROOS THAT GLOWED IN THE DARK WITH THE COST AND THE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING. AFTER THAT I REFUSED EVERY OTHER OFFER TO GET TO THE CHECK OUT SCREEN, WHERE THEY HAD JACKED ON SOME RUSH SHIPPING I REFUSED DUE TO THE FACT IT WONT MATTER THE ITEM WON'T REACH ME BEFORE CHRISTMAS ANYWAY. THERE WAS NO WAY TO FIND ANY HELP OR REFUSE THE ORDER I JUST REFUSED TO CLICK ON THE CHECKOUT AMOUNT. NOW I AM NOT STUPID I AM SURE THEY WILL TRY TO CHARGE ME, I HAVE ALREADY WARNED MY CCARD SERVICE (BANK). TO REFUSE THEM PAYMENT!

I ordered bendaroos over the phone with the promotion of by 2 for $19.99 and $8.99 shipping (Recording never mentioned the actual charge amount that would appear on my credit card). I waited 3 weeks and finally received a package with 2 boxes of bendaroos with no invoice or charge amount in packaging. I week later I received my credit card statement and was billed $57 from them! I called customer service and was told that I purchased 2 (sets), I said no I purchased 1 set and that your phone ordering system needs to clarify better there promotion. He offered to refund the $19.99 for second set. I asked about the shipping as well because there is no way it cost $19 to ship two little boxes of Bendaroos.. He said his computer would not allow that.. They could ship out the ssecond set though if I wanted.. That is when I asked where the 2nd set that I supposedly ordered is anyway (Why didn't I receive that set at the same time?)? He had the nerve to say it probably got lost in the mail lol!! I said this is all starting to sound really shady to me.. I asked to speak to a manager to get the second shipping charge refunded as well and he told me there was no one I could speak to. I told him then to refund my orginal $19.99 order as well and that they should eat the extra $9 charge not me. He put me on hold and came back telling me that they would refund me the $9 shipping charge! We will see if I actually receive it! Wow did he just write the code that would allow him to refund me the shipping charge while he was on hold? It all sounds like a scam to me!! This company needs to be shut down!! They are overbilling customers, not sending out the extra set and hoping no one notices!!

After getting through the automated phone ordering system, they were relentless in attempting to get me to add additional packages to the order. I have never experienced such extreme pressure. I finally had to just hang up the phone.

Now, just a few weeks later they have passed my phone number, and my credit card number(according to complaints I have seen on the web) to third pary marketing firms. They have been continuously phoning me with high pressure, non-stop pitches for other products and services.

I would suggest avoiding this company at all costs.

I also ordered bendaroos. But, over the phone. After saying "no" to all the additional things that they offered me,I ended the call thinking that I had ordered one and would be charged for that only plus shipping. Checking my bank account..they took out 60.98!!!!! No, clue what I am getting but, this is a rip off.
