Beauty Impressions Thought was free, but enrolled in program Internet

Saw an advertisement for a free sample of skin cream. just pay S & H.  Ordered and paid $5.95 for skin cream ans $3.95 for eye stuff.    Nothing but a Welcome card was enclosed with the product.

Checked my card statement and was shocked to find $105 79 ns $97.83 charges for these two products.  Called Beauty Impressions.net customer service to inquire about these outrageous charges.   1-855-260-1660.

I was informed that I had enrolled in a monthly program and since I had not called within 14 days that I had consented to pay the real cost of the product.  So, was not free after all.  I would be charged the monthly price until I called to cancel.  Told  the CSR that I wanted the entire $203.62 back and was entirely unaware of this. He said it was plainly stated that this was the what would happen.  Did not see this anywhere, add said free. 

CSR said I could return the products for the credit, but would be a $20.00 restocking charge  ( total of $40.00) and I would pay shipping.

Then was told they would give me 40 % back.  I said I wanted the entire amount back.  Then was told they would give me 70 % back within 7-10 working days.  Did calculations and decided to agree to 70 % back, because of the postage to send back.

My conclusion:   Nothing is free.  There is always a catch.  This company counts on you to not call to cancel within their time frame, whatever that maybe, which was not clear.  If this was a decent, honest company. a reminder would have been included with the product.  But,  nothing pertaining to this "little" fact was in there.

Crappy company with crappy business practices.  I felt so stupid and gullible, but wiser now.  Rest assured that I will be checking for that credit to appear in 7-10 working days.
