Good point. I generally look at prominent display of

I once ordered one of those stupid Roll-a-Hose's from TeeVee. It looked
good by the pros operating it in the commercial, but I guess I'm not as
bright because it didn't work very well at all when I got it. So I
decided to return it. But I was told I'd have to pay for the return
shipping! I complained that this was unreasonable but was told that was
policy. Fine. So I went online and filed a complaint with the BBB. A
few days later I got a pre-paid shipping label sent to me and a letter of
regret.
Coincidence? You decide.
