    I called and talked to ***** the owner of this company on 5/22/23 and needed to order some teak cleaner. ***** quoted me a price of $68.99 which included shipping for 1 gallon. I agreed to this and placed the order. Later in the day on 5/22/23 he sent me an email saying that he looked at the wrong price and that it would be higher at $81.46 which I did not see this email until today 5/23/23. He sent another email on 5/22/23 saying he charged my credit card the higher price $81.46 without my authorization. I saw both emails today on 5/23/23 after he already charged my card. I called back and talked to ***** and said we had a deal and agreed on the price of $68.99 which he refused to honor even though it was his mistake. I told him that he cannot just charge my credit card a higher price without my authorization which he did not seem to care about. I said an honorable business man would have sent me the product for the original agreed upon price, but ***** seemed more worried about the $13 than his reputation. I told him I wanted a full refund as he did a bait and switch. He said he would refund the money. I called my credit card and told them what happened and they told me it is illegal to charge someones credit card without their authorization. ***** is a dishonorable business owner that does does not follow through agreed upon prices and confirmed orders. I have attached the emails that he sent me.

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic.
