I remember that with the Magic Bullet. I didn't even think the order went through since they never gave me a total...then I get this random e-mail saying my order had shipped and I was like NO WAY...I x-ed out before I hit the submit button and I never got a confirmation e-mail stating the charge went through.... they wait long enough to say it shipped then you're screwed since it's on it's way...and if you refuse shipment then you're screwed another way... yep!

I am such a sucker when I see these commercials. I keep thinking, "oh, that looks like it would really help me." Slowly, I've learned to check rating first and then I know what's good and what's not. I had a feeling about this since I was scammed with The Magic Bullet in the same type of fashion. You go to the website and somehow end up ordering 2 items with weird extras that you didn't want. You think you haven't hit the submit button and that you can go back and adjust your order and you can't. So thanks everyone...and sorry you guys got screwed. I did end up getting all my money back with the Magic Bullet, but it took a lot of work and calling my credit card company and the BBB in the city that was selling the Magic Bullet. I documented all my phone calls with time, date, and person I spoke to. Granted they never wanted to give me their name...so I had to FORCE them to give me their "ID" #. They hate when you do that. I also left numerous messages on VM for the supervisors who were NEVER on the floor when I called. I finally had a whole page of documentation which I sent to the Attorney General. When I let them know I was doing that things went much quicker! Good luck everyone in getting your money back and again thanks for the warning about this too good to be true tool.

Well $172 later I'm feeling like such a fool. The web page never gives you a total and just says thanks for the oder, you can't get a person until two days later and then they say it is shipped. Credit card company says they can't do anything until after you return it. Lot of good that will do because S&H are not refundable and $120 of the charges are S&H. I'm posting everywhere I can to try to help prevent someone else throwing away hard earned money on these thieves. Next to the BBB and state attorney, maybe someday someone will do something about this type of scam, I too wish I had done more research but I’m doing gardening and it looked good.

What a scam! Now there are several products on TV that I simply wont order, but wait, don't order now and I wont get screwed! Other products I wont order include the Tomato tree. Hey Tomato Tree, help us put these suckers out of business. I got ripped off for more than twice the quoted price. Al Wish I had read your comments before I ordered. What a scam!

I had learned a valuable lesson years ago with O'l Slick Billy. I hung up the phone and started to look at reviews. Please people as long as there are people who believe this crap then others will be scammed. Stop the madness and DO NOT I repeat DO NOT order ANYHING I mean ANYTHING from info commercials. There is not a single I mean a SINGLE one that is worth the hassle. If you can't touch it and can't return it don't buy it.... If you do after you have read this then they deserve all you give them and the headace that comes with it. Don't be a complusive buyer. Also buy a tool with a name such as DeWalt or Craftsman and be prepaired to spend more than $20.00 on it too. I will leave you with this ol saying. "A fool and his money will soon part" oh and there is one born every minute.

I specifically told the customer service rep I was not interested in any of the other items. Even though the item was shipped to my house I received notification that they attempted to deliver and left a notice. I contacted the post office and made arrangements for delivery on Saturday. I was home all day and they did not show up. I received my statement wherein it showed my account was debited on October 14, 2008. In addition, I read all the negative comments about the product from consumers who purchased your products. I explained to Jessie that I did not order those items and was told we can reship at no cost or can credit your account for the $19.95. I told her I did not order those items and requested that they listen to my conversation with the customer service rep. I am going to locate the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint along with the tv station that highly recommends this man and his products. I am going to request an interview with them so I can voiced my opinion as to why they should no longer advertise for this company. You midlead the consumers; never tell them the amount that is being shipped and contact the attorney general's office to see if this is legal. If it takes me 10 years to get my money back, I will prevail. I ordered the Awesome Auger and to my dismay learned that it cost me $68.50.
