I decided to go to their website and add the kit to a cart tosee what the total was going to be with shipping and taxes. I actually began the checkout process and as Im beginning I can clearly see by thetabs on the page that my checkout process is 2 pages away from order submission. Im suddenly at an upsell page and as Im sitting there pondering the upsell, I decide that Im going to think about it more thoroughly and that Ill go ahead and complete an order at a later time. I close the browser and go back to work. Here is where it gets interesting.
A couple of hours go by and suddenly my email inbox shows a lovely, justreceived Order Confirmation email from P90X. At this moment I had two choices, just accept it and be glad that Im getting the system, albeit in an unconventional way, or see this for the unethical thing that it isand get in touch with the folks at Beachbody, the makers of P90X. I of course choose the latter, so I head back to the website and heres the lovely chat I had with one of their customer service reps, who are obviously working on pure commission. Needless to say I will not be ordering P90X from their website but will instead find one on ebay.

[12:16: 46 PM] Carlos *: Sam just a quick concern, I was on the siteearlier looking at ordering the P90X system and I went ahead and added it to the cart to see how much the total would be. I got to the cart summary page telling me what the total was, with tax, shipping etc and then I closed the browser without going on to the next pages, the confirmation and submission. Now suddenly I get an email two hours latertelling me my order confirmation, whats up with that?
