Lots of folks do their shopping on the internet these days, especially on Amazon. Not only because it's convenient, but you can find some great bargains. But wait until you hear how much a woman in Gallatin, Tennessee was charged for some paper plates. It was certainly no deal. Lorie Galloway said she does a lot of shopping on Amazon. She's a Prime member and told Scripps station WTVF in Nashville, "I don't order anything unless it's free shipping." Just before Christmas, Galloway bought some plates. Then her husband, Bob Galloway, got the bill."He sent me a text," Lorie Galloway recalled. "'What did you order at Amazon?' And, I'm like, 'What?' He said, 'Our bill is a thousand and something dollars.'"Now these plates she bought were not the kind you keep in a china cabinet. These were heavy duty paper plates. A hundred of them. Lorie Galloway said she thought she was getting for with free shipping. It turns out, the plates were ."But there was a ,080 shipping charge," Bob Galloway explained.It cost more than ,000 to ship a package of paper plates. "I mean that's just crazy for paper plates," Lorie Galloway said.And, her husband added, "I really thought it was some clerical error."The Galloways repeatedly tried contacting the seller and got no response. So they called Amazon about the charge."The reaction from the customer service representative at Amazon was, 'Wow, that's ridiculous,'" Bob Galloway said. So were these plates coming from somewhere half way around the world? No, according to the paperwork, they were shipped by UPS from Atlanta. Amazon eventually agreed to open an investigation and the company told Lorie Galloway they'd determined she  was "not overcharged for the transaction."Lorie Galloway said she believed she was overcharged. According to Amazon, the seller said they'd "sent the plates with expedited service," that Lorie Galloway had selected that option when she placed her order and had agreed to the ,000+ shipping fee, something Galloway insists isn't true. "If it would have said a thousand and something dollars, I would have noticed that," she said. If you try finding the seller now who sold Lorie Galloway those plates, you won't. An Amazon rep told the couple the seller had been dismissed after doing similar things to other customers. But Amazon refused to confirm that for us.And Amazon was asked why it didn't have technology to flag and even prevent outrageous charges like this, the company refused to directly answer the question and instead sent a statement saying, "Amazon is constantly innovating and improving our customer experience. If customers have concerns or feedback, we encourage them to contact our Customer Service."But that's what the Galloways did and Amazon told them there was nothing they could do. Lorie Galloway said she is now reconsidering where she shops. "If they [Amazon] are not going to take care of their customers, why should I order from them again?" she said. The Galloways spent the last couple of months disputing the shipping charge with their credit card company. Finally, just the other day, they got word that the shipping would be refunded.  3398

Massachusetts is the first state since the deadly shooting in Las Vegas last month to ban bump stocks, the gun accessory the shooter used to increase his rate of fire.Bump stocks became a major source of discussion among lawmakers across the country after the attachments were found on the guns of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock, who killed 58 and injured some 500 last month. But talk of banning the devices nationwide appears to have stalled.Beginning in 2018, penalties for the possession or use of a bump stock or trigger crank in Massachusetts will range from probation to life in prison, Representative David Linsky, a Democrat who proposed the amendment, told CNN.The new law defines a bump stock as "any device for a weapon that increases the rate of fire achievable with such weapon by using energy from the recoil of the weapon to generate a reciprocating action that facilitates repeated activation of the trigger."In other words, the devices allow semi-automatic rifles to fire more rapidly, similar to automatic weapons. Twelve of them were found on firearms recovered from Paddock's Las Vegas hotel room.Critics of the legislation say lawmakers rushed to push the passage without holding public hearings.Jim Wallace, Executive Director of the Gun Owners Action League, a Massachusetts gun-rights group, called the legislation "a knee-jerk reaction."Though lawmakers in the Massachusetts House and Senate both introduced traditional bills just days after the October 1 Las Vegas shooting, the legislators ultimately felt they needed to act in response to a public outcry from constituents, Linsky told CNN.Constituents flooded the inboxes of Massachusetts lawmakers, and Linsky said the "vast majority were begging legislators to do something about the situation."State House members enacted the ban by introducing language in an amendment to the fiscal year 2017 budget.RELATED: Senate Democrats want to ban assault weapons 1948

Many experts believe Pennsylvania will be a pivotal state in deciding the presidential election, and Joe Biden is holding his final rally before Election Day outside of Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field on Monday.Standing alongside Biden will be pop superstar Lady Gaga, who will be performing at Monday’s rally.Polls in Pennsylvania have tightened in recent weeks. Recent polls have given Biden an average of a 5% lead in the state. With Biden showing stronger leads in Michigan and Wisconsin, polling is suggesting that Pennsylvania could be the state that puts either Biden or Donald Trump over 270 Electoral College votes.In prepared remarks released by the Biden campaign, he is expected to sharpen his attack on Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.“The people of this nation have suffered and sacrificed for nine months, none more so than our doctors and front-line health care workers and this president is questioning their character, their integrity, their commitment to their fellow Americans?” Biden is expected to say, according to prepared remarks.Meanwhile, the Trump campaign is attacking the Biden campaign for including Lady Gaga, who they claim is an “anti-fracking activist.”“Nothing exposes Biden’s disdain for the forgotten working men & women of PA like campaigning with anti-fracking activist Lady Gaga,” said Trump campaign spokesperson Tim Murtaugh said. “This desperate effort to drum up enthusiasm is actually a sharp stick in the eye for 600,000 Pennsylvanians who work in the fracking industry.”The number of jobs mentioned by the Trump campaign is a gross exaggeration of fracking jobs in the state, according to federal statistics. Other recent reports show the number of those employed by fracking in Pennsylvania to be far lower than the Trump campaign suggests.Lady Gaga hit back at Murtaugh. 1838
