“Yes… I ordered a game from you to be delivered COD, and you told me $35, and when it arrived it was $46.40!”
“Ma’am. The game is $35. PST and GST are $4.90, bringing the total to $39.90. “
“But it came to more than that! And you never told me about tax!”
“Uhm… ok. Anyway, Shipping was $1.50, and the COD charge is $5.”
“You told me $35!”
