If you’re like us and ordered the Twin Draft Guards when it was oh…0 degrees outside, chances are you got a rude awakening and were told it was on backorder after you ordered. I checked twice to see when it was coming in and was told they couldn’t give me an estimate. We saw them at Bed, Bath and Beyond for HALF the price of what they advertise on tv for the same ones. So we grabbed them and ran home to cancel. Oh, surprise of surprises, they just happened to ship it that day and could not cancel the order. (Something tells me this is their practice when people are tired of waiting, tell them it was sent and get it out the next day.) Hubby cut them to fit and honestly, we noticed no real difference and the one on the garage door moves constantly when you open the door and you end up shutting the door on it. Then you shove it back in its place angrily and close the door and grumble. The box we received from them directly was badly damaged so there’s no way we could’ve sent it back without packing taping it to death which I also think was on purpose since I called to cancel and they wanted to make it harder to send it back. Trust me, it left the factory in this condition, I highly doubt the shipping company did it. So we’ll be taking the ones we got a Bed, Bath and Beyond back because it’s not worth having extras around the house and given how crappy they are, I’d be embarrassed to give it as a gift.
Maybe you’ll have better luck than we did but we just did not see any kind of noticeable difference and especially not one that made it worth the almost $30 we paid by the time they screwed us on shipping too. (Because remember when you order direct you get their crappy over the door hooks to hang something on until the spot welds give out.)
So if you’re going to buy the Twin Draft Guards, go to Bed, Bath and Beyond and get it for $9.99 and no shipping costs!

I got mine after a long wait. My box was damaged too and the “free over the door hanger” was bent. I was able to bend it back to shape but that is ridiculous.
