State Farm Renters Insurance
State Farm customer says he pays 40 percent more than the advertised rate for his renters insurance.
You wouldn’t know it from looking at the plant, but apparently bamboo is incredibly soft. So soft that a company called Cariloha has a whole line of products made of the stuff. And right now the company on its website is advertising 50 percent off select bath towels and bath sheets (which, sources say, are like towels only bigger):
But when you click “Shop Now” you are taken to a webpage on which only four of 30 items are actually 50 percent off. The majority of items (19) are marked down between 25 and 29 percent and seven aren’t discounted at all.
“If the ad had said up to 50 percent off or something I could understand,” a reader wrote TINA.org. “But this is just wrong.”
The company has not responded to TINA.org’s request for comment.
