Truth in advertising laws, are they the same on the web as print or tv?

(posted this in the lounge and didn't get anything so I thought I'd try it here)

I ordered a Thomas train set for my daughter for Christmas. The page I ordered from clearly said that Cranky the Crane was included in the set. It arrived today and there was no Cranky the Crane in the set and now the website is giving me the runaround about it. I took a screen shot of the original page before they scrubbed it. I'm pissed! :grr:

Does anybody know if the laws governing advertising are the same for the web?

thanks

1. Call the BBB, I'd say.

Or the AG's office.

2. Thanks

I'm about to. It's not like it's a big ticket item, they have the crane seperately on the site for $20. It's just the sheer principle of it, if they think they can bait and switch at will they will do it over and over again, I'm just one of the little people who loves a chance to stand up to the big guys and be a squeaky wheel.
