The prices in my cart showed the July 4th discounted prices but I was charged the full amount. For instance, the light was showing as $14.99 but I was charged $29.99. It is possible that the error appeared because I put the item in my cart during the sale and maybe the sale wasn't on anymore when I checked out. But I logged into my account before I checked out and if the prices had changed, the cart should have shown the proper prices rather than the discounted prices. Both items in my cart showed the discounted price. I really like the store and am okay paying the full price...just was confusing and the cart prices not accurate. Thanks.
I thought I put everything in my cart when I was logged in. But didn't see it there. Then I logged out. I opened Potomac Beads (not portal) and saw my items in the cart there. Very very confusing. But I like the quality of the beads, materials, customer service.
