I am not usually duped by offers like these but this time I was. This is by no means a risk-free trial. I ordered Acaipure from Central Coast Nutraceuticals, Inc. For a special offer of $1.95 shipping. I read all of the fine print and unchecked the boxes for the Hoodi Water & Gum. I researched the safety of acai berry and even came across a site recommending Acai-pure (was this site set up BY Acia-pure? I'd like to know.)
I received the product and being careful about what I eat or ingest, I decided to do a little more online research about the product. Thankfully I did, because this is when I came across hundreds of complaints against this company! First of all as a product, it is a MIX of many herbs, including acai berry. How much acai berry? It doesn't say. It could be 2% for all I know. It could be 50% fennel seed... It just doesn't say!
Secondly, as a company, I would advise everyone to stay far, far away from this company and all of their offers. I have called several times to cancel my membership (yes, apparently I am a "member" for ordering their "risk-free trial") and I have emailed several times to cancel all future charges and product deliveries. I have not been able to talk to any human being at their customer service number and I have received no reply to any of my emails! Terrible.
As soon as I saw the complaints about how people were unable to contact the company and that they were being charged repeatedly for products they didn't want, I cancelled my bank card. I strongly recommend that you do this, even though it is an inconvenience. Briefly explain to your bank what is happening and ask for a NEW card that is not associated with your old one. Act fast!
