I am waiting for a day cold enough to see people walking down the street wearing these crazy things.<br /><br />Seriously is the financial crisis so bad that people would rather look like some crazy cult member in a wearable blanket (which with a little work on a sewing machine, anyone at home could make) just to save a few odd dollars here and there on heat?<br /><br />And what about when you have bought one for all the family?<br /><br />And in Australia, they are a lot more than $17.99.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814515613309562906.post-11147687764234947742009-04-04T14:21:00.000-05:002009-04-04T14:21:00.000-05:00I ordered my snuggie yesterday and some how got 2 ...I ordered my snuggie yesterday and some how got 2 extra snuggies on my credit card!

Since the Snuggies had not arrived, I called the company to cancel the order --Surprise, Surprise -- the Snuggies had 'just shipped'. However, the agent (after much questioning), told me that the full amount including shipping and handling would be refunded if the package was returned unopened. When I received the package (almost 2 1/2 weeks later), I immediately returned it (unopened as instructed). The company only refunded the cost of the single snuggie (not the shipping and handling for 2 of them that I had paid). When I called the company, they insisted that their 'automated call logging system' did not show that I had ever contacted them so they would be unable to refund the shipping and handling. In a nutshell, be sure that you really want them before you order them, you will pay for them, regardless. However, as I learned from part of their recorded announcments while waiting to talk to the agent, call and work through all the selections to get to their return line, and they will then inform you that if you want to return your Snuggies, then select the offered option and you can keep your Snuggies AND get a $10.00 credit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814515613309562906.post-86289427026586841702009-03-10T11:51:00.000-05:002009-03-10T11:51:00.000-05:00TOTAL RIP-OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DO NOT order a Snuggie,...TOTAL RIP-OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<BR/>DO NOT order a Snuggie, unless you like trouble.

Of course when you try to call them it's impossible to talk to an agent and when I finally did, she told me I had indeed be charged 55.85, but did not know where the difference came from and also told me that it had already been shipped so it could not be cancelled and gave a fax number to send a copy of my bank statement to show them the additional charges..... <BR/>I have cancelled my credit card number to prevent eventual charges since it seems to be a rip-off... <BR/>I still have to fax the info and get them to at least right the situation and wait for my "Snuggies" which should be delivered in the next 6 weeks....<BR/><BR/>To be continued!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814515613309562906.post-24857677182256019972009-03-06T08:59:00.000-06:002009-03-06T08:59:00.000-06:00I saw this on the fox and friends recently on Fox ...I saw this on the fox and friends recently on Fox News.

Just add that in to the main price and divide by two and you'll get the REAL cost per Snuggie. "Buy one, get one free" is just a meaningless marketing statement to draw you in.<BR/><BR/>$19.95 is the sweet spot for informercial products. So let's say, for the sake of argument, that one Snuggie costs them $7 to manufacture, package, handle, and ship to a customer. They want to advertise it at $19.95, the magic number, and they want at least a 100% markup from cost. They know, as do all infomercial marketers, that products sell some large percentage better if they make it a SPECIAL DEAL and throw in something for "free." So, they make it two Snuggies for the "price of one," plus two free booklights which cost them $1 each from China. Their total cost is now at $16, so the total price for the customer should be at least $32. That's $19.95 + $5.95 shipping per Snuggie. But their market research suggests unusually high demand, particularly around the cold holidays, so they know they can get more out of that magic S&H number and they jack it up to $7.95. So, their cost per order: $16. Their profit per order: $19.85. Not a bad business model. And hardly a scam - it's just a way of obscuring the true price for people who are too lazy to do the math.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I ordered a couple - my girlfriend loves her some fuzzy blankets.<BR/><BR/>-DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814515613309562906.post-41453509018798951282009-01-04T20:51:00.000-06:002009-01-04T20:51:00.000-06:00What a stupid idea!
