Everything giving me trouble

:nieman: Today I've been getting things that have been giving me trouble. One is DA and the fact that I can no longer post thank you messages to people as quickly as I use to due to their spam thing and 500 Server Errors when I do it too quickly... =_= If this keeps up I won't be able to thank people through their pages cause of the amount of time it takes even without doing those who just fav one piece.

The major annoyance today is from a button company named The Yellow Tricycle [link] who I had ordered buttons from. First it said on their site that there was free shipping and there was no specifications as to whether there was any restriction to this advertisement. At no point had they mentioned as a Canadian customer that I was exempted from this. The order was $45 and i had paid in full. That was over a week ago and today I get another paypal request for $20 shipping. You read it right $20. That's almost half of the amount of the overall order.
When I inquired about why I was being charged a shipping fee when clearly they did not state that I needed to, the representative gave me a rude response saying that they weren't going to pay a full $25 to ship buttons and that I needed to pay for shipping, with disregard for the factor that they have just committed false advertising. They paid $5... now from all the vendors I have purchased from on the net i have never gotten one who:

1) did not specify the overall amount i needed to pay INCLUDING shipping upfront on first transaction
2) had a shipping price of more than $10 for the type of package I ordered
3) were so rude as to think that I was the one cheating them out of money because of their own mishap of not giving the proper information.

If I get slapped with a customs fee I will be sure to have them pay for it because their overall service was unprofessional and unorganized. Their proofs were horrible and saturated and the second proofs weren't even proper proofs only digital copy and pastes of my actual files which means i don't know if my buttons really did print out properly. Being the idiot I still paid them feeling "bad" in a sense for their own mistake but I clearly shouldn't have. The more I think about it the more I want to slap myself... very unhappy.

And if that was me I'd have gone to another publisher and reversed the original CC payment as fraudulent since, technically, false advertising is a form of fraud.

The good news is you can express it all through your art.

If I were you, I would have just cancelled the order when they started about the shipping fee, you should know that it would just go downhill from that.
