shipping.com Extra Fee

Months ago, I was doing some shopping in burlingtoncoatfactory.com. They had a sale and had so many items with quality. I finally decided to give a try and ordered a dress. I paid $32.00 for it.

Just like any other purchase, during check out, I had place my credit card information, shipping address and billing information.  I placed the order, paid it and I got my order confirmation.  After that, I seen this message saying the order qualifies for a cash back! This SOUNDS good, but when you take a closer look there is a not so hidden fee.

So I clicked on the link that says Cash back and it took me to another page.  So I signed up for a cash back and I had put my personal information sent to “shipping.com”.

I checked my mail to see if there was anything about the “cash back”.  I got suspicious when nothing came.  I went to google to find a review about the $15.00 cash back by shipping.com.   I realized that they are going to charge me monthly and has a 30 day trial period.  I was not aware of it because it does not say anything like that while you are signing up or maybe that is in very small print.

I immediately went back to shipping.com and cancelled it.

I don’t think that the shipping.com “cash back” deal is necessarily is a scam, but I think they should be more transparent about the monthly charge.
