Bait and switch - raises prices after order placed
I placed an order for a patio table on August 25. Price on the web site was listed as $109.95, and shipping and handling was an additional $41.58. I received an email right away saying my order "has been processed and sent to the warehouse for shipping." Three days later, I got an email from them telling me that "There has been a manufacturer price increase on the product," and that if I wanted the table, I would have to pay an ADDITIONAL $255.80!! Resulting in the item costing more than TRIPLE what it was listed for on their site! My only other option was to cancel the order. I called them and they refused to honor the price they had listed online when I placed the order three days earlier, despite me telling them that is what they are supposed to do by law, only giving me the option to cancel the order to refund my original payment. They said the manufacturer increased the price before they had a chance to update their web site. THEIR problem, not mine!!
