Snuggie Blanket Captures National Attention

Ordered 2 brownie pans in January 2009 against my better judgement. Ordering process was interesting and tricky to say the least. Total was $52.80. I got nervous when there was no company name/phone numbers on webb site so I decided to cancel. After some searching online, I found a phone number to call. It was 7:30 pm and just a voicemail so I left message to cancel with order info. I now find $52.80 charged to my checking account. I called an automated Customer Service # to check if my order shipped and it said my ordered was cancelled. I got another number to a "Call Center" where I actually spoke to a person who checked my order and said it was never cancelled and order was shipped. Interesting! Have worked out details with my bank and just waiting to see if I really do ever receive the pans. I think they have met their match!!!!!

notice how none of the pictures show the back? Thats because there isnt one.
Its literally a blanket with sleeves and it keeps fallingoff as there is no back to it.
Waste of money

could you put a picture of the snuggie on your page instead of a picture of the slanket? the reason i car is that the slanket is a much higher quality product and I am the person in the photo. you should not be using this picture... do some research next time

Per a TV ad, I ordered 2 Snuggies (second one free) on December 1, for Xmas presents. I approved an upgrade for $5 each, so the total cost should have been about $30-$35. The goods arrived on Dec. 23, too late for Xmas and the bill was $91.70. It's impossible to find a telephone or email contact with the outfit, and I'm not confident in sending the unopened package back to the shipping address. My credit charge company is trying to help. I hope the outfit gets properly chastised and the displeased customers get satisfaction.

WHEN I RECEIVED THE TWO SNUGGIES, I EXPECTED A ROBE. WHAT I GOT WAS TWO SLEEVES CONECTED WITH THE BACK. NO SIDES AND NO FRONT AND DEFINATELY, NO ROBE.

We ordered the Buy One get one free for $20 plus shipping in October. Never received anything until I noticed a charge on my debit card for $85.10 from GPM*MERCHANDISE DIRECT.
yep 85.10!!!!
The bank luckily reversed the charges because of them doing the same thing to others as noted on ripoffreport.com. Then we get another charge for $55.80 from GPM*SNUGGIE last week.
I had to cancel my credit card and have another one reissued.
BTW, we've never received anything from them!!
Run from these crooks!

The snuggie has given America a chance for hope. Somehow people think its Obama... but I think they just saw him with a snuggie on and got confused.
This pretty much sums it up

I'm sorry but maybe I'm missing something. This just looks like a very cushy robe but you put it on backwards! I suppose while you are sitting down this product may be OK but as soon as you stand up, it's like a hospital gown; your butt hangs out! Instead of wearing it backward, why not turn it around and close it with a belt. Wouldn't that be more practical? Not only would your front be warm but your back would too and you'd still be able to use your hands to reach the phone. It's all about marketing and the (I believe) PT Barnum quote, "There's a sucker born every minute!"

How stupid. Don't these people have anyting better on which to spend their money? What's wrogn with a normal blanket...or a normal sweater?
If you are looking for something better to do with your time (other than worrying about silly fashion warmth), check out http://www.Hoxic.Com and then go enlist in the US Army. Oh, don't go to that site after lunch and it's definitely not suitable for children.
