Purchased two of the Harry Potter "Illuminating Wands" from the Noble Collection web site for $39.50 each + $13 shipping. Found the same exact wands the next day at Barnes & Noble for $29.95 full retail -- no shipping of course. Requested a refund of the extra $20 paid for these items from the web site. Answer was No. Doesn't make sense -- Barnes & Noble had to pay wholesale for these things -- and yet retail price is $10 less than online price. The rip-off, unfriendly to consumer company is based in Dubai.
Yes, I agree, they are a rip-off, I had place 2 separate orders from them for 3 items, they didn't charge my account right away, I frequently checked my account and saw the charges there, then they disappeared, they finally put the charges through when I didn't have the funds in my account as to which I had assumed they were paid already, which it wasn't apparently, so now my account has been over drawn due to their lack of immediate account payments. I will never order from this company again for the way they handle charging a persons accounts at a later date. One order I had placed on November 18th and it didn't clear my bank until December 6th, the other one I placed December 1st and it didn't clear my bank until December 9th, they wait to charge your account and then they send the charge through when you don't have the funds in there.
