So, I figured I could just contact a person and they’d adjust the price no problem and the world moves on. BIG MISTAKE. No. They want you to reorder the EXACT same thing, have it shipped to you, and return the EXACT same thing right back to them instead of just doing a price adjustment! You have got to be kidding me!
