Got to checkout on this one site, cart's at $50, suddenly total is $75 cuz of 'handling', 'service' & 'convenience' fees. What convenience is it to slip in extra $$ like I wouldn't notice?! Someone needs to regulate this nonsense.

Welcome to the great convenience fee scam of 2023, where 'handling' costs more than the stuff you're buying! But hey, on the bright side, at least you didn't get charged for air! Pro tip: abandon your cart for a day or two, and sometimes they'll email you a 'special discount' to finish the purchase.

This is a clear case of deceptive pricing tactics. Companies often rely on these 'drip pricing' strategies to lure consumers in with an attractively low upfront cost only to reveal additional fees at the last minute. It's worth reporting to consumer protection agencies like the FTC. Sometimes they'll take action if enough complaints are filed. Also, always read the fine print and FAQs before checkout – some sites do mention these fees, albeit in the least conspicuous place possible.

OMG, this kind of thing boils my blood! I had the same experience last week! 😡 It's like, you see one price, think it's a deal, and then BAM, you're paying nearly double at checkout with their sneaky fees. I wish there was an easy way to call them out on this BS.
