Have heard this from SO many people posting on the Toys’R'Us Facebook page. Yet somehow these posts are magically DELETED! When asked why, the FB admin gives a cut-and-paste response that “any posts containing offensive key words, phrases…outbound links…personal information…are automatically deleted by our filter.” But somehow the “filter” can let posts with the “n” word slip right by! I created a Facebook page of my own “Boycott Toys’R'Us” where people can post their experiences and be assured they WON’T be swept under the rug by TRU corporate robots.

Yeah, I had a similar experience w/them just the other day. I ordered a buncha crap for my kid, the promo was get free shipping on orders over $100. I ordered $187, to be exact, and in my shopping cart, the shipping had been deducted. AWESOME!

But wait….a few days later, I’m looking at my email confirmation, and there’s $20 of shipping on there. I called them and asked them what the deal was. He then begins to look at my order and explains that the free shipping offer was only good on CERTAIN items, and that SOME of my order has these certain items, but not ALLLL of my order, so I was $5.00 shy of getting that free shipping. MOTHEREFFER! So I agree with you – Amazon knows how to do it right. You know what you’re getting and since I’m a Prime Member, I can usually get it in two days for free. So screw Toys R Us.

Money talks…bull$h!t walks, as they say.

Recently there was another sale I saw where a nationally known company offered a crazy deal on a pair of expensive Steiner binoculars. After a couple of hundred orders went in from website I frequent, the price was revoked.

Needless to say they saw they light with regard to honoring orders. Bad press can spread really, really fast.
