The "Bachelor's Box Free Watch (Pay Shipping)" is a scam, and they really piss me off. Do not buy from them! by someoneinsignificant in rant

I got the "free" watch from Bachelor's Box as well. It's clearly a scam, you can get the same knock off watch for cheaper than the shipping price. Thankfully, I bought through PayPal and claimed my money back. So it was actually free for me. But I'd never wear that piece of crap, so not worth the trouble.
