I just bid on 3 pieces of jewelry on Bidz. When I went to check out it gave me a few options for shipping, but they were all for expedited shipping which I really could care less about, so it would have been $10.95 shipping for all 3 pieces, or....so I thought, grrrrrr. So I looked at what the total charge was, and they had added an additional $3.00 shipping for each of the other two items in addition to the $10.95 shipping charge bringing my total to around $43.00 instead of around $30.00 and something which it should have been. They had also added an additional idea which I had NOT won, but it had a delete button next to it, so I just deleted the item. Talk about shrewd. Just thought you should be aware. It said the items I bid on and won expire in 5 days, so I will just let them expire. I just can't believe some online companies practice deception like that and I wonder if they think the public is so stupid that they are not going to notice or warn their friends and family not to use their site. Geeez .

Guess I'm back to shopping on eBay, at least I only get charged what people say their shipping charge is.

I just filed a report on this company online and noticed alot of other people had also.
