Kitchen Advance (KAVI) If you want to spend money on kitchen gadgets without even shopping, try Kitchen Advance! Internet

I bought two pairs of the herb shears from Kitchen Advance that Taste Of Home Magazine sent me a special email offer for, for $3.95 a pair, with free shipping. I have looked for two years for a pair that was below $10, so I was more than elated to see them.

But, after looking at my Visa statement tonight (Sunday), I was charged $24.69, which left me outraged, as I was very careful not to select priority shipping, or other services. The checkout screen clearly stated that my total was $7.90 when I hit to submit my order.

I trust Taste Of Home, and did not research this "partner offer" because I have been getting the magazine for over twenty years, and felt confident in their recommendation.

I have been emailing Kitchen Advance since Wednesday, when I placed the order, and been trying to call them all day. The phone says they are closed, despite the business hours stating that they are open.

I know there is nothing that you can do, but, I do feel you need to warn your subscribers of this fraudulent scam, and research future "partners" a little better.
