How about a Thursday whine?

I got sucked in and bought a thing off a tv ad. It's a hair removal pad that just "buffs away hair".  It looked easy and I read some good reviews on it, so I ordered it. I should have called instead of going online to get it, or should have made sure of the shipping charges before I placed my order. ....the darn postage and handling fee is almost as much as the product costs!


I'm mad at myself for falling for it, and at them for not stating up front what the charges were. I should have known if they didn't say, it would be a lot.


Oh well, maybe the thing will work well. Or maybe (hopefully) if it doesn't work, I can send it all back and get some of my money back!

Oh well, Ann that is part of the learning process. We are never to old to learn something new. Hopefully this will work and so you will get something out of all this money you spent and if not..........well like you said, maybe you will be able to return it, and get some of your money back and if not, chuck it up as an experience that you will have learned from.

Let me know when you receive this product and if it indeed works. Have a good day Ann, and keep smiling hon :)

I agree, shipping charges are outrageous!! It cost me $40 to ship a can of popcorn to my brother for Christmas..shipped from KS to NC!! That was more than the darned can cost!!! It's a tradition though, that he gets his can of popcorn from me every Christmas. He loves that! I hope you love what you bought too and if you do, we want to know exactly what it is and how to get it too..regardless of the shipping costs! lol!

I'll let you know how I like it, but it will be awhile till I can try it. They say it will take 4 to 6 weeks. For what I paid for shipping, I would think they could send it faster, but I guess not. Apparently, stagecoach delivery is expensive!

OMG Anniekins! You and my hubby must be hanging out together when I'm not around, LOL!

Anyway, he saw that commercial the other day and commented that Career Girl and I should order one.

Um no thanks. Don't need to shave my legs much anymore and I don't think it would be a good idea for Career Girl to try on hers. He must have forgotten the Veet incident when her legs had a reaction and turned fire engine red and burned.

I hope it works for you. If I hear you screaming, then I know it probably was scented, padded sandpaper discs they sent to you. LOL!

so it just isn't me!!

I have tried neet and the other brands and rash city here we come...yes a very sore fire engine red.

I also tried the strips you take the backing off of and i was black and blue. The worst was it hardly worked either.I was trying to save money. The shave cream and razor would have been more and i could not have brought it home on the plane.

so the better part of a month in vancouver and could not wear a skirt or shorts in the heat. What a pain!

I don't really know why I thought I needed it, either, because I don't have to shave very often, either. I just thought it looked easier than shaving, on the occasions I do want to shave.
