Telebrands Corp Alumawallet.com Alumawallet Poor Construction Fairfield, New Jersey
Quality of Alumawallet is very poor - actually, it's junk.
Alum. sides of wallet are attached to plastic core with double stick tape.
Sides fell off on 1st use.
But the real problem is that this company will not reimburse for shipping - which is more than the cost of the item itself. Therefore, it is not possible to return this item without losing money.

How crap is sold on TV.

There are a few things that are common to virtually all items that are sold via infomercial. The first is that the pitch will always include "But wait, there's more!". Second is that shipping and handling will be a large percentage of the price of the item.
The whole point of infomercials is to separate the gullible from their cash. They sell crap that you would not consider buying if it was sold on a department store shelf. As such, they know that a lot of their customers are not going to be happy when the product doesn't turn out to be the miracle that it appeared to be on TV. Therefore, in order to guarantee their profit margin, they include it in the shipping and handling charge because those are not commonly included on any money back guarantee.
While occasionally a useful product is sold via infomercial, 90% of the time it's a ruse to separate the gullible from their hard earned cash. Paying $15 shipping and handling for a $20 item is a dead giveaway that you are being fleeced.
