Bait and switch Amamax

Im asking those who have bought from Amamax in the past and anyone else interested in helping to contact Amamax and politely complain about their pricing practices as of late...
more and more often I am seeing these ridiculous add-ons as drop downs that you cannot "un-check"
http://store.yahoo.com/amamax/pomaxcatblat.html
http://store.yahoo.com/amamax/nitldagratxm1.html
these are just two examples... there are more... it is poor practice to employ this type of tactic to price this way and if enough of us bring it to their attention in a polite way we may be able to change their practices...
in all fairness they have good prices...(even with the addons) but advertising one price and not being able to get it is wrong...
the front USB ports do not need to be "activated"... its ridiculous and they need to re-evaluate this.
this is the E-mail link for their customer service....
sales@amamax.com
and a copy of a past email I sent...

I am a loyal customer who has reccomended you many times to others as a good place to purchase cases and other components due to your low prices and free shipping... however lately I have gotten several complaints that you are adding options that cannot be unchecked that add to the base price wich is considered by most to be unethical practices, bait and switch or whatever you may call it...

I'm in. The bait and switch they always get me on is showing a picture of one window on a case and then giving me another. Thrice I've ordered a case w/ the spider design and I've gotten an "x".


I'll drop them an email similar to yours.

Thanks... It’s not a huge deal... but it’s indicative of general practice... I don’t want to recommend them if this is how they do business...
