I too, fell for the 3 ties too good to be true deal. On the webpage where it lists the deal, https://www.belisi.com/neckties/91/neckties91. Aspx? Aun=hydra&acid=36578#terms it does not mention that by purchasing the ties you will be mandatorily entered into an agreement where you MUST purchase 4 more ties ($38 each) in the next two years.
Supposedly, you can back out within 10 days of receiving the ties, but after all the posts about this company, who knows? I don't recommend risking it.
It is my fault I didn't read the full terms of "membership", but I believe it is also deceptive selling on their part. They list the benefits of membership all over the main page, but bury the part about being stuck having to buy 4 more overpriced ties.
I called on 28 Nov 07 (one month after my purchase) and stated I wanted out, no matter what it takes.
They first refused. Then they offered to cut the amount of ties to 2. Then offered to cancel my membership; I have to return the ties (no problem; I don't want to wear them after this experience) and gave me a return authorization number.
I will be keeping a close eye on my credit card and credit report; I don't trust them to end it this cleanly.
What kind of idiot businessman thinks this is the best way to make money? Is that what an Bachelors Degree in Economics at Davidson College teaches? Piss off your customers, THEY LOVE IT!
On the owners My Space page, he lists The Bible, Jesus CEO, and The Myth of a Christian Nation as his favorite books. I recommend he read them.
He also states Jesus as someone he'd like to meet. I don't think he'll get past St. Peter the way he runs his company.
