Description
I ordered two patio umbrellas from this company. My invoice was paid upfront with my credit card and the shipping was free. My balance says zero. About a month after I received the umbrellas I received a bill from FedEx for $45.10 telling me it was tariff charges. I made multiple phone calls to the company to ask about this and they never once have answered their phone. I finally got through to email and they are telling me to pay the bill because it was a mistake and they will reimburse me. This sounds like a huge scam to me and very shady. I am not paying the bill. I told them I was reporting them to the BBB.
