Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good?
Safety Central Their total price does NOT include shipping, and they state the shipping total won't be added until the order is finalized. I called them on that and they then "banned" me. ;-) Internet
Here is my complete email string (minus my personal information) with this company:
Start at the bottom, work up. It still baffles me to this day. And if you start at the top, please know
that I NEVER use vulgar language or threats.
Enjoy.
Dear Safety Central Customer
We have read and recorded all email sent to Safety Central and have determined that you have used vulgar language or made threatening remarks, unjustified statements or unfairly complained about this company outside the customer order agreement and Order processing policies that were agreed to when placing your order. The situation created was entirely your own fault. This was truly an unwarranted act.
Action Taken:
Until further notice we have banned your IP address, name, shipping address, email, phone and billing numbers from placing any further orders with 147 of our online companies and 4413 affiliates selling over 6.8 million products throughout the internet community.
We routinely monitor the Internet for defamatory and unwarranted accusations, libelous and slanderous remarks. We will defend the integrity of this company against such damaging attacks and will prosecute those offenders to the extent allowable by law when necessary.

Wow. I'm shocked. Thanks for cancelling my order. You just avoided some really bad online feedback.
And you might think of changing your website to avoid this problem in the future. People don't like these tactics. There are many sites that can tell you the shipping & handling charges UP FRONT. Why can't you?
To: Patrick

So, what you're telling me is that the bolded red text on the description page that said "Hurry, free shipping won't last long" was a diversion? It only applies to orders over $50?? (Most sites give free shipping over $50 as a standard feature; there's nothing special about that.)
