Be wary of JustDeals.com... Here's a little story:

I signed up for their mailing list and got very lucky - I won a pair of Logitech Wingman Force joysticks! Super!
A Box arrived a couple weeks later and I was told I needed to pay taxes on it. I asked how much because the outside ticked was smudged a bit... He said about $10. No problem since the stick was free, right? I gave him my credit card number... should have paid cash. :(

Inside the box is one honkin' huge joystick. :) But only one... I emailed them asking where the second one was- they said "there was an error and I was supposed to get two cheaper joysticks, not the Wingman Force that was sent." Ummm.... my winning email said "a pair of Wingman Force joysticks".... no budging.

Well, one neato joystick for $10 Canadian's pretty good, right?
Then the credit card bill comes in..... $45!!! I was charged duty/services/etc for this damned thing! I emailed again, the reply? "We thought you knew... thanks for understanding." Like he!! I knew I would be charged the worth of the joystick for shipping the blasted thing! So far they're not willing to accomodate anything...

Everything else I've won from FAR MORE REPUTABLE AND COOPERATIVE PLACES have sent those prizes with PAID SHIPPING- not charging me for it at the door!
Hope others have had better experiences with them... :|

Sounds like it is time to contact the cedit card company. They will take care of it. At least I would think. To me, it sounds a lot like fraud here....
