But if you bought one in the next 30 minutes, they'd send a second
free.


what's funny is that I see the same products in local stores,and they
include the "2nd one free",and you don't pay outrageous shipping and
handling charges. I saw one product today that wanted $16.95 S&H.


SOmebody fill me in on this...

Seeing a lot of adds lately where there's "2nd one free". You only pay
SEPARATE s&h. They're reeeeally chaging suckers these high shipping
charges twice!

I don't know how people get roped into this. I mean when you order
anything you get a total amout you authorize to a card with any Internet
purchase I've made. But then, I've never bought anything from a TV or
infomercial ad of any type.

Separate shipping and handling is a gimmick to allow them to sell for
$19.95. Once they have you on the phone or at the web site, they have you
pretty well hooked so the up-sell is easy. A few years ago I tried to order
something for my wife . It was easy to get started, but I had to go to a
few pages of suggested add-ons that I just gave up and told her to wait
until she can find it in the store.
