Title: Lisa's review confirmed--products overpriced
Review: After reading the warning review by Lisa, I postponed my purchase of this product. I followed up with a trip to Lowe's where I purchased this exact product (Gila 3' x 6.5' rice paper) for $29.34 versus the current cost of $41.88 on amazon.com as of 09/27/09. The "Gila Complete Application Kit" cost $8.48 while selling on amazon.com for $17.88. Shipping costs would have been $7.81 and $7.37 respectively. The total purchase price at Lowe's was $40.77 versus the $67.57 at amazon.com, if we are to naively assume that only one instance of shipping charges would be incurred. This is rather disappointing whether amazon.com, Gila, or both are the culprits; not a wise paradigm for maintaining a loyal customer base. As for an actual review of the product, once I complete my project, I will append my review. The current rating of one star reflects the price gouging rather that a rating of the product itself.
Is the review positive or negative?
