The Sleep Sherpa

I recently came across the Miracle Bamboo Pillow as I was perusing the “As Seen on TV” display at a local Walmart.  It was located on the bottom shelf next to the “Kitty Shack” and below “Bright Time Buddies” and adjacent to the Muscle Milk cooler. But, since I’m always on the lookout for new sleep products, this caught my attention. I also just reviewed the  Miracle Bamboo Seat Cushion  which I’m not a fan of. Rather than purchase it from Walmart, I thought I would try purchasing it through the website. miraclebamboopillow.com. And what a fiasco that was. What seemed like an easy purchase led me down the road of multiple checkout screens asking me to add extra pillows, pillow cases and sheets. The pillow listed at $29.95. The fine print is that you also pay $9.95 shipping & handling. At one point I was asked to upgrade to the deluxe for an extra amount which I did.. Below is the total amount I paid, $48.85.  You also have to pay for return...

The Miracle Bamboo Cushion is a cheap piece of foam that retails for $19.95 plus shipping and handling and some random web service fee. Oh, and if you want to buy “two for 1”? It will cost you a total of $46.85. That’s because they charge you a separate processing and handling fee even though they arrive to your door in the same bag. I don’t think it really costs much extra to ship 1 more cushion since they are very light and made with cheap foam.  Below is my order total. Below is my shipping confirmation for the Miracle Bamboo Cushion. As you can see they have a customer service line that says it is open from 8am-5pm PST but when I called them at 4 PST a robot voice just said they were closed. Hmm… Most people will probably just relent and not go through the hassle of trying to return this thing. Not me, I’m going to be persistent and document along the way. If you still want to buy the Miracle Bamboo  Cushion or Miracle Bamboo anything after this point, kee...
