To Whom It May Concern, which I’m sure is no one, at the Hideaway Pets evil headquarters:
We have two kids who have worked extremely hard this past school year, and ended the year with top marks on their report cards. Thanks to your aggressive and skillfully targeted marketing, when offered the opportunity to pick a surprise for their efforts, both kids only wanted a Hideaway Pet. I tried to tell myself that maybe this time, it would be different. THIS TIME, they won’t take advantage of us through obscene shipping charges. I’ve been burned already before. Companies like yours have figured out that kids like mine fervently love stuffed animals. We have Pillow Pets, we have Happy Nappers, and we have a Flashlight Friend. Some of those items were purchased with my kids’ own money they saved. But I’ve always paid the offensive shipping charges for them, because I won’t ask them to pay into your company’s greed. Not only do companies like yours force us into paying per item shipped, the amounts being charged per item are nauseating. The Hideaway Pets are by far the worst so far. $19.99 per item, plus $15.98 to ship. We’re paying $31.96 to ship two stuffed animals to our house. And I’m sorry, but in general, products like yours aren’t even cute or well made. I would have survived just fine if they came to us by normal USPS, and even in the same box. I’d rather wait and have $25 back.
What angers me further, is how your websites are designed. They suck kids in, and make it so that you can’t see how you’re about to be grossly taken advantage of until it’s far too late. PROCESS ORDER. Oh, by the way, you just spent $71.94. SUCKER!
Shame on you. And shame on us, for trying to enjoy our new cable package. Guess it’s back to Netflix for us, where crap peddlers like you won’t take advantage of us. I love my kids, and if all they want in this world for their hard work is a new stuffed animal, then they’ll have one. But this is the last time I ever buy from a company like yours. I will look upon our Hideaway Pets with scorn and disgust for as long as they’re in our house. I hope the kids don’t like them and we can give them to the dog.
