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
Interne

purchase I've made. But then, I've never bought anything from a TV
or infomercial ad of any type.


That 2nd shipping charge is stupid.
I'd love to buy the Instyler (hairdo product), but they never
explained t

price on TV. *Went to their site and found it's over $100 ! *what?

At a factory outlet mall I was at a few months ago there was a store
whose entire stock was "as advertized on TV". When you see all that
cheap assed junk concentrated in one store you never pay attention to
any more of their ads.

The name of some of these products should be a hint.
