A couple of hours go by and suddenly my email inbox shows a lovely, just
received Order Confirmation email from P90X. At this moment I had two
choices, just accept it and be glad that I'm getting the system, albeit
in an unconventional way, or see this for the unethical thing that it is
and get in touch with the folks at Beachbody, the makers of P90X. I of
course choose the latter, so I head back to the website and here's the
lovely chat I had with one of their customer service reps, who are
obviously working on pure commission. Needless to say I will not be
ordering P90X from their website but will instead find one on ebay.

Chat Transcript 01/06/2011 12:33 PM [12:14:34 PM] Thank you for contacting Beachbody, my name is Sam Manuel.
If at any time you feel you're not receiving excellent service or feel
unsatisfied with what I am doing, please let me know immediately and I
will do all within my power to accomplish your request. How may I help
you? [12:16:46 PM] Carlos ****: Sam just a quick concern, I was on the site
earlier looking at ordering the P90X system and I went ahead and added
it to the cart to see how much the total would be. I got to the cart
summary page telling me what the total was, with tax, shipping etc and
then I closed the browser without going on to the next pages, the
confirmation and submission. Now suddenly I get an email two hours later
telling me my order confirmation, what's up with that?? [12:17:42 PM] Sam Manuel: Let me check your account and assist you further in a better way. [12:17:45 PM] Sam Manuel: Can you please verify the following information so I may locate your account?

-Billing Name (first and last) -Billing Address -City, State, & Zip code [12:18:08 PM] Carlos ****: Carlos **** [12:18:15 PM] Carlos ****: ############ [12:18:19 PM] Carlos ****: Palmdale CA 93552 [12:18:34 PM] Sam Manuel: May I have your phone number and email address with which you have placed the order ? [12:18:48 PM] Carlos ****: ###-###-#### [12:18:53 PM] Carlos ****: [12:19:00 PM] Sam Manuel: Thank you for providing me with the required
information. Please give a minute while I look into your records. [12:19:39 PM] Sam Manuel: May I know did you placed an order through Beachbody.com? [12:21:13 PM] Carlos ****: Yes I was on beachbody.com but like I said,
I got as far as the first upsell with the chin-up bar and stopped
there, just closed the browser after that. [12:21:29 PM] Sam Manuel: May I know which program you have placed? [12:22:08 PM] Carlos ****: p90x [12:23:13 PM] Sam Manuel: So you need only the P90X Basic Dvd program with 3 monthly installments? [12:24:42 PM] Carlos ****: The issue right now is not what I need
cause it apparently got processed already, I'm trying to figure out how
the order got processed when I didn't even submit the order for approval [12:25:23 PM] Sam Manuel: Once you hit the submit order button. Your order will be processed. [12:26:55 PM] Carlos ****: I told you I didn't even go past the first
upsell, I could see that there were two more pages after that, a
confirmation page and a submit page but I didn't even go past that, I
just closed the browser [12:28:36 PM] Carlos ****: How the heck did you guys process my order without me even submitting it for process? [12:28:56 PM] Sam Manuel: I am sorry for the inconvenience caused while placing the order. [12:29:14 PM] Sam Manuel: I have canceled your transaction. Web information can take 2-4 hours to update, so please be advised that you may still receive an email
confirmation of this order. Rest assured that I have placed a stop
billing request and the order will not be charged. I sincerely apologize
for this inconvenience and will follow up with your confirmation of
this cancellation within 24 hours. [12:29:43 PM] Carlos ****: thank you! [12:30:56 PM] Sam Manuel: Are you satisfied with the customer service you have received today? [12:32:01 PM] Carlos ****: yes [12:32:08 PM] Sam Manuel: I'm glad to know that you are satisfied with
my customer service. With your permission can I end the conversation? [12:32:35 PM] Carlos ****: yes [12:33:15 PM] Sam Manuel: Thank you for chatting. Good luck with your
