Dishonest behavior in the order system of Mosquitox

Alex from Greenhithe

When I viewed "Market" on Neighbourly this afternoon, I saw "New Way To Keep Mosquitos Away". I opened this advertisement, and it sounds good. So I booked one.

When I viewed "Market" on Neighbourly this afternoon, I saw "New Way To Keep Mosquitos Away". I opened this advertisement, and it sounds good. So I booked one.

However, the price shown on their website is NZD 66.99 each, while they charged me NZD 81.94 after I provided my banking information!

If they want to charge customers the freight cost seperately, they should let us know before we pay.

I am pretty unhappy with their dishonest behaviour in business.
I have sent them an e-mail and waiting to see what they will say.

Tip: For any online order, we should not proceed if the amount is not shown before we pay.

Looking for someone to come tidy up the rest of the garden and sort out where the builders have been. It's a biggish job and there are stairs coming down to my house.
Would need an estimate before the job went ahead. Would need to happen Fridays to Sundays.

North Shore Music Theatre are excited to share this ‘swankified’ production with Auckland audiences, with a 40-strong cast of local talent taking you on a bewitching journey back to the magical land of Oz - home of the yellow brick road, munchkins, and the Wicked Witch of the West.
