Omitting information, hidden charges

Complaint

I saw an advertisement offering 4 posters for $2.00 each. I ordered four posters, and when I checked my credit card statement I saw a $39.00 charge. I never agreed to this!  

I went to their website and discovered that they enroll you into some kind of membership. The terms and conditions of this service are not clearly posted on the order page. I think they do this on purpose to hide the fact that the customer will be billed more than he expects.

Their terms of service do not even specify how much they charge for shipping and handling. It's clearly a violation. Every customer is not aware how much they will take from the credit card. Here is from their site

"Your initial order will be shipped to you within 10 days of your ordering. Please wait at least 2 weeks from order to receive your initial order. A one-time handling fee  will be added to your order. Cancel anytime by calling us at 877-807-2929."

I called to cancel my "membership" right away.

Please note that they will charge you a whopping $9.95 per poster, plus a shipping and handling fee.

Run from this company. I hope someone gives them a lesson and closes their business.

Here is a link to their Terms of Service. Please read carefully before making your decision.

    Count me in for the Class Action suit(dmx_8421@hotmail.com).

    I ordered 4 posters for $8 and got charged $33.96 then 4 days later i got charged $39.80 and i hadn't recieved any posters( and according to their terms of service i wouldn't for another two weeks.) So within a week of my initial purchase (which was supposed to be $8) they've taken almost $75 from me.

    I'm working at a pizza store and making 5.85 hr. Me and my roomate saw this and found some posters we liked so i ordered them. It has been 2 weeks no posters. On top of that the $39 for 4 posters has put me in a bind. I have no money for rent because of this bs.

    I'm in extremly pissed off with no limit's.

    I will glady research any dirt I can find on this company and definatly get my money back plus.

    I mean C'mon it said $5 per poster for me...

    I would be very interested in a class action suit. Between 7/24 and today I've received 3 charges on my credit card for $39.80. I received my intitial 4 posters for $8 offer and I just received a box with 2 more posters in it. So why do I have 3 charges? I'm sending these 2 posters back, disputing all 3 charges to my credit card company and I've also cancelled my credit card. I will contact this company later today when my blood pressure goes back down. E:mail me at klbizniz@rocketmail.com if you file suit.
