  • A recent warning regarding "drip pricing" was issued by the Department of Consumer Affairs, which warned customers of the practice.
  • In this scenario, only a portion of the price is initially advertised and further fees are added later on in the purchase process.
  • Drip pricing is a pricing technique in which firms advertise only part of a product’s price and reveal other charges later as the customer goes through the buying process.
  • The additional charges can be mandatory charges, such as hotel resort fees, or fees for optional upgrades and add-ons."
  • When the represented price is inaccurate, it can lead consumers to make misinformed decisions and can result in unfair outcomes for honest competitors.
