Company demanded over $100 more after accepting my order and payment.
Company demanded over $100 more after accepting my order and payment.
I placed an order with WireWombat.com at the advertised price, and the company processed my payment. Subsequently, I received an email stating that they would not honor the original price unless I paid more than $100 additional.
The company offered to refund my payment, which I accepted. However, this does not excuse the practice of accepting an order and payment at one price and then demanding substantially more money to fulfill it.
I find this practice misleading and reminiscent of bait-and-switch advertising.
I would caution other customers that the price displayed at checkout may not be the price this company ultimately agrees to honor.
