Extra charges at 69.99US for touching a membership box
On November 22, 24 I purchased a pair of gloves for $18.88 US. And apparently they said I ticked a box for a membership, the $69.99 US membership only gives a person 10% off. It gives them free shipping for returns and 60 day extension and it was hard to understand the lady but I think 50% off in the future. Apparently, that membership box got ticked probably cause I’m illiterate and I had been charged December 22 24 March 22, 25 June 22, 25 all for charges of $69.99 US. When somebody showed me how to look at my Visa statement I found all these charges and so I called them and they returned money for one withdrawal. But that’s all and all I can say is what a rip off for a $70 membership.
