Check your CC statements every month!
"ZERO stars if I could. My wife bought clothing from a seller that turned out to be an affiliate or sub-brand of Amerimark. We then started getting bills for a "Passport to Savings" program that neither of us had authorized. The CC statement only identified the bills as from "AMK*" which made them slightly difficult to track.
After tracing the abbreviation back to Amerimark I found that they have a VERY dodgy history: they sell legitimate products under multiple sites, but then automatically sign up clients for one of their "Passport" programs that claims to offer discounts and special offers. The start with a low introductory charge, usually $2.99 or $3.99, that's easy enough to miss on a statement. After that the charge jumps to four or five times as much and continues until you cancel; i.e. it's "opt out" rather than "opt in".
But wait, there's still more - and it's slimy! Their target clientele is over-55s, and sad to say, some of my compatriots in that demographic are less tech-savvy and more trusting. I found any number of complaints from people whose older relatives had been paying Passport membership fees for years without understanding what had happened.
Unfortunately short of sleuthing through business sites first, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to know whether a particular retailer is part of Amerimark's web. So bottom line, check your statements !!every!! month!"

Great service, good prices
"I'd been searching for an advanced-tech toilet as part of a bathroom renovation. Supply.com had the exact item we wanted, had the best prices we could find, and delivered ahead of schedule. Many thanks!"
