I saw a commercial for these magnetically-closed mesh door covers and went to the displayed website. This company uses a number of deceptive practices to misrepresent the cost of the product and deny the buyer the opportunity to see the order total before the credit card is processed. The commercial pushes the price for a set at $19.95 plus "p&H", which is 7.95 per panel, so the P&H is paid twice. This is presented as a "set". It is also the smallest unit you can buy.
During the checkout process you are presented with 3 or 4 additional offers which you must decline explicitly. One of these is an "upgrade" to a thicker mesh, priced at $5.00 for the "set". I accepted this charge and pressed continue, at which point the transaction was processed, WITHOUT presenting a confirmation page allowing me to see what the total charges were to be. The page that appeared (titled "Confirmation Page!) informed me that the $5.00 upgrade charge was charged TWICE, once for each pair of panels, as opposed to the entire set.
I immediately called my credit card company and had my card number changed, which leaves me without the card for 3-7 work days. My strong warning: DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY.
