I recently placed a Brother sewing machine on lay-away with Sweeptakes-Clearinghouse. When I changed my mind about the item and wanted to cancel the order, I was told that I could not get my down payment back--I could only apply it toward another item. Perhaps this little detail was somewhere in the very, very fine print, but I do not recall reading it. Since I do not want any other item, Sweepstakes Clearinghous will continue to take a $1.00 service fee out of the down payment until it is depleted! I am being forced to lose the money I gave them for nothing or purchase something I do not want.
Furthermore, the shipping charges are not given prior to placing an order, so what appears to be a good deal ends up costing a lot of money in the end. I will never use another wonderful "discount" coupon from Sweepstakes Clearinghouse.
