Business ProfileforFitness Equipment Empire Inc.

Purchased a **** ******* weight bench from Fitness Empire on January 8, 2023. Bench was a USED item and was listed for $789. I paid for bench in full via online with my credit card and was charged $789. Next day my credit card company contacts me about an unauthorized charge which was placed for $836.34. Not only did I have a $789 charge pending on my card but, I also had a $836.34 charge pending. **** from Fitness Empire never contacted me regarding the charge nor any additional fees. This was an unauthorized charge because I never agreed to the charge. I disputed the $836.34 with my credit card company since, I did not agree nor authorize Fitness Empire to charge my account this amount. After disputing the charge; I receive an email from **** stating I refused to pickup the item and that he considers the item abandon. This is indeed not correct because I have the documents as to when I filed the dispute with my card holder and when **** sent the email. I wish Fitness Empire had been more transparent with their fees and charges prior to charging my credit card. I do not wish to conduct business with a company that list items at one price and then turn around and charge a different price without speaking directly to the consumer. The old Bait and Switch.
