Ad Review
BBB Serving Central SC and Charleston contacted Charleston Bedding, Inc. on January 26, 2021, regarding their advertisements of (1) "Made in America"; and (2) "We offer better quality mattresses at the lowest prices in Charleston!".
As outlined by the BBB Code of Advertising, Code 37 " Made in USA" Claims. (www.bbb.org/code-of-advertising). "Made in USA and similar terms used to describe the origin of a product must be truthful and substantiated. In general, all or virtually all of the product must be made in the USA. Qualified "Made in USA" claims can made be under certain circumstances and with appropriate disclosures."
As outlined by the BBB Code of Advertising, Code 12 " Lowest Prices, Underselling Claims" (www.bbb.org/code-of-advertising). The BBB encourages advertisers to not use the claim "lowest prices/The Best Price in Town" unless they have an extensive shopping program in place to frequently shop their competitors for lower prices and then lower their own prices if a lower price is found.
As of February 16, 2021, the business has not responded to BBB.
BBB recommends that consumers always check the business out first by contacting their local BBB or www.BBB.org before doing business with a new company. It is recommended that you do not pay with a money order, through Western Union or MoneyGram, but to use a credit card in case you need to dispute the charges. Always use a secure Internet connection when making a purchase. Reputable websites use technologies such as SSL (Secure Socket Layer) that encrypt data during transmission. Look for the little padlock in the address bar or a URL that starts with "https" instead of "http," as the "s" stands for "secure."
