Don’t you just love that Slap Chop ad?

Slap Chop Commercials really do work. Especially if you see them repeatedly. I always loved that Slap Chop ad. The spokes person, Vince makes cooking look like fun when you use the Slap Chop. I am all for that. Every time I see this ad I think of chopping walnuts. I use a hand grinder, I just hate it. I have a food processor but I would never drag that out for chopping just a few walnuts. But this Slap Chop looks like it would be just what I need. Doesn’t everyone need one?
  
After seeing the ad for the 100th time I decided it was time to order one.

The website is great I get to see Vince do the commercial again. But I get more options. Check this out…
Select Offer:
*Original Slap Chop Set – Includes the Slap Chop & Graty Set for only $19.95 + $7.95 S&H. Get a second Slap Chop & Graty Set FREE, just pay a separate $7.95 to cover S&H.
(Total $17.93 EACH) I computed that out for you

*Platinum Slap Chop Set – Includes superior quality Japanese steel blades that come with a 10-year guarantee, the Folding Cutting Board and a third blade for your Graty for perfect slicing all for only $9.99 + $3.95 S&H.
(Total $13.95 EACH) I computed that out for you

How many people do you think still order the buy one get one? Not me, I got the Platinum Slap Chop Set. It is on it’s way.
Can’t wait to start Choppin’  BUT WAIT!!………………….
 
                                                                                        
NOT SO FAST!
  
I see that my bill does not match what I thought I should be paying. In fact it is much higher .

ORDER DETAIL ———————————————————————– Qty Item Purchased Payment Option Amount Shipping ———————————————————————– 1 PLATINUM SLAP CHO Only $39.85 $ 39.85 $39.85 $23.80
GrandTotal: $63.65
 

So I called and was basically told I didn’t read nor did I know how to order. When I suggested that the website must be written wrong, missing a few IMPORTANT numbers, it was as though I was being laughed at. I was getting no where. So I sent in an email……This is the response that I got back:

 
Hi Cindy, I am sorry for the frustration you have experienced. The promotion is as follows:
The Slap Chop is purchased for $19.95 + $7.95 S&H. You will receive a free graty. In addition, you receive a second set free, you just pay for the cost of S&H on the second set – an additional $7.95. For the standard package, two Slap Chops and two gratys, your total is $35.80.
If you would like the deluxe package, you will receive japanese stainless steel blades for your Slap Chop, a 10 year warranty, a third blade – the slicing blade – for the graty, and two folding cutting boards. This is an additional $9.95 + $3.95 S+H (due to the addition of cutting boards) per set. If you would like the deluxe package, add $27.80 to the original order of $35.80.
There is an additional $2.00 surcharged per order for shipments to Canada.
I hope this helps and I am sure that you will love your new products once you use them! Best wishes, Ronny
  
WELL!! let me go back to the website and see where I must have misread, because I am obviously an idiot. What is that they say about the fine print????? Here it is :
  
But that’s not all! You’ll also get a 2nd Slap Chop and Graty set for FREE, just pay $7.95 to cover the shipping and handling fee! The Graty for cheese comes with 2 blades, fine and coarse. Place any kind of cheese in the container, turn and press the black top twister and the cheese comes right out for omelets, salads and pasta. The Slap Chop and the Graty for cheese both come with a 3 year warranty and are both dish washer safe. Upgrade to the Deluxe Slap Chop & Graty for a special low price of just $9.99 per set, plus $3.95 S&H. The Deluxe Slap Chop features superior-quality Japanese steel blades that come with a 10-year guarantee! The Deluxe Graty includes a third blade that lets you slice your favorite cheeses instead of grating them. We’ll also include the Folding Cutting Board, normally $20, for FREE! Canadian orders will have an additional $2.00 shipping and handling added.

                                            I made the IMPORTANT fine print bold so you would be ble to see it.

  
I think I can get along without a Slap Chop.
I will cringe everytime I see Vinny from now on too.
I hate to be deceived.
