Hidden Fees Everywhere!

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.

Another day, another hidden fee uncovered. The 'convenience' is all for them, making bank on our backs. Legit, why isn't there a browser extension yet that warns us about these fee-frenzy sites the minute we click on them?

Lol not surprised. These shenanigans are standard now. Avoid these traps by sticking to websites that guarantee one price at the start. Vote with your wallet and walk away from the rip-offs.

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.

Ha, joke's on you for expecting honesty in online shopping! Next, you'll tell me you found a Nigerian prince to invest with 😂

I smell class-action lawsuit material right here. These companies think they can outsmart us by hiding fees under different 'service' names. If we start hitting their wallets by refusing to buy, maybe they'll reconsider this tactic.

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.
