Why is Lenovo charging 17 dollars when they promised FREE upgrade?

How much does it take to ship a DVD? 17 dollars? Expecially when it's free.
If it takes 17 dollars to ship one DVD, how is Netflix still in business.
I shipped one home DVD to Singapore and it cost me $3.02.
Lenovo is scamming people. Do you guys agree?

I totally agree, this is very deceptive advertising.  Large companies like Lenovo engage in these practices all the time.  Every month or so, you will see a news story about either a state Attorney General or a civil case that awards some massive amount of damages for these practices.
Visa, T-Mobile, etc. 
The sad part is that many companies view this as a "cost of doing business."  Every once in a while they get dinged for $1 billion or so, but so what?  To them, it is more profitable to lie to customers and when they get caught one out of 10 times, then pay out.  Meanwhile, they hang onto the cash, make more profits, etc.
But, the truth is that these companies only get away with this to the extent that consumers allow them to.
From reading this message board on this topic, there are many non-Lenovo employees who post apologias for Lenovo, as if the customer is always wrong.  That is very strange and surprising.
I feel really bad for the Lenovo employees on here who are truly trying to help (MarkLenovo, for example) because they are fighting a losing battle.  Corporate management cut all these corners, and then send these few employees to take a beating on the message boards.  Meanwhile, the corporate pezzonavante are making 7 figure salaries thanks to their "brilliant" cost savings measures.

  • Why would you charge me $40 for a supposedly free upgrade?Have been a faithful verizon customer for years went in for myfree upgrade and paid for a iphone and protectve cover now I have to pay a fee for a free service? I will start switching my devices to

    Why would you charge me$40 for a free upgrade? I chose a iPhone and paid you the difference plus protective cover, now you want to charge  me a fee for activating a number I have had for years!!!  I have been a faithful Verizon customer for years but I will switch companies when my contracts are up or I can get a buy out from another company, your free upgrade is not free and is a false advertisement as far as I'm concerned

    However you had already stated you did not choose a "free upgrade", but paid the difference for an iPhone. So much for your "free upgrade". Additionally, I was not aware Verizon was in the business of giving away "free service"(s)?????? Purchasing a "free" or "reduced price" phone IS NOT a free service. You sign a contract in exchange for receiving that benefit. There is an upgrade fee along with that service you are contracted to complete or you will be charged an early termination fee(ETF), so this IS NOT a free service.
    Yes, you have a choice to go with another provider which ALSO charges an upgrade fee OR charges you full retail value for your phone. So much for a "free upgrade" there.
    AT&T = upgrade fee
    Sprint = upgrade fee
    T-Mobile = no upgrade fee but must pay full retail cost for the phone
    For what it is worth, you would not have had to pay an upgrade fee had you simply paid full retail cost for your phone OR purchased it with Edge at full retail cost. Depending on your calling plan and data allowance, you may have even ended up paying less for your phone had you done so. That is why a little research before you make a purchase can go a long way.
    I know it is cheaper for me to pay full retail for a phone than to purchase a discounted device in exchange for signing a contract.
    Good luck with the new provider.

    It wasn't a charge, rather a "hold" to verify your account. The hold will be released in a day or so.

  • Why was I charged for premium when I canceled before my free trial was up.

    Why was I charged for premium when I canceled before my free trial was up. It shows I have the free version in my prayers file yet I was charged almost 13 dollars. I do NOT want premium and I shouldn't have been charged for it

    Tap on iTunes & App Store.
    Tap on your Apple ID at the top.
    Choose View Apple ID from the popup menu.
    Enter your password when prompted and tap on OK.

  • Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver?   The same images look fine in Preview and Finder.  Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

    Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver?   The same images look fine in Preview and Finder.  Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

    The desktop image is fine, taken from the exact same pool of jpg photos.  However, as soon as the slide show screen saver comes on, the images are scrambled.  What is it about the apple screen saver algorithm that scrambles the pics?

    Try anything from the 12 Days of Christmas app or any other app from the App Store.

    The button will switch to the "Installing" button quickly and then go back to the "Free" button and thats it.  No workie!

    I've been having the SAME problem.  I've made 2 trips to the "Genius" bar and they can't seem to find a fix.  It will work for a few minutes after I do a software restore and then *poof* suddenly stop working altogether.  Nobody can hear me although I hear them perfectly fine... and it doesn't matter where I am or if I'm on bluetooth, speaker phone, iPhone, etc.  I am frustrated along with you Kathiem.
