So knowing it was a short term sale I presumed it was a free shipping weekend. Well a couple of days later I get an email informing me that they went ahead and charged my PayPal account with the shipping charges, without my consent. The shipping charges were more than the item I was buying. If I had known the shipping charges, I would never have made the purchase. At that combined price it no longer was a good deal, more of a rip off. I tried to cancell the order. I haven't gotten anything as yet to verify where I am at on this one. Nooooo I will never buy from this company again. I have some real concerns about PayPal allowing them to increase the total without my knowledge. I didn't know that could happen, but it did.
This worries me more than the other problem. I would love to know who you were dealing with as I do a lot of on-line shopping and would NOT want this to happen to me. I'm sorry it happened to you. If I were you I would get in touch with PayPal immediatly and get the problem resolved. I would be willing to bet they can help you with this.
Good luck!
