What BBB and Trustpilot display about Cirkul
All figures are as displayed on 2026-10-20 and come from separate sources; they are not combined.
- BBB profile for Cirkul, Tampa, FL: not BBB Accredited; BBB Rating F, with the stated reasons '36 complaint(s) filed against business that were not resolved' and 'Business has failed to resolve underlying cause(s) of a pattern of complaints.' The complaints tab shows 201 complaints in the last 3 years and 35 in the last 12 months. The reviews tab shows 1.28 out of 5 stars, the average of 152 customer reviews. BBB data: file opened 2018-06-12.
- BBB alert (BBB's wording): 'BBB files indicate that this business has a pattern of complaints concerning product, delivery and billing issues. Consumers allege they are not receiving the items they ordered, that products received are defective, and/or that they have been billed for services they did not authorize or for previously canceled subscription plans.' BBB adds that in February 2025 it submitted a written request to the company and, 'To date, BBB has not received a response.' These are BBB's statements and consumers' allegations, not findings of fact by this site. BBB also notes that displayed complaint text may not represent all complaints filed.
- Trustpilot (drinkcirkul.com): 4.1 from 5,010 reviews; the profile is shown as claimed since August 2023, Trustpilot states it does not fact-check reviews, and the page says 'This company invites their customers to review, whether positive or negative'. The BBB and Trustpilot figures are kept separate.
Cirkul's side: the company's published position on cancellation and refunds is its Terms of Service quoted on this page (its Help / FAQ pages were not read); the BBB alert states that BBB had received no response to its February 2025 request as of the page check, while the BBB complaints tab shows the company posting responses to individual complaints, several marked 'Answered'.

Submit a ComplaintCirkul complaints: how to cancel Auto-Ship, ask for help, or escalate
The steps on this page are quoted from the Terms of Service on drinkcirkul.com (effective date September 4, 2026), read on 2026-10-20.
Cancel Auto-Ship or a Trial Offer. The Terms say you may cancel at any time: online, log into your profile at drinkcirkul.com/account/login, click 'Your Account' and select 'Cancel Plan'; by email to [email protected]; or by phone at 844-424-7585. The Terms say: 'Cancellation is immediate for California residents. Other users will be presented a new page on which they will select the option that best applies to why you are canceling and then click the “Cancel Plan” button.' They also say 'Your cancellation will be processed immediately and will be effective at the end of the then-current billing period', that 'After cancellation, no further recurring charges will be made', and that you will receive a confirmation email. The same section says: 'All recurring payments relating to Auto-Ship Services are fully earned upon payment.' For Trial Offers that convert to a paid plan, the Terms say a reminder email is sent at least 30 days before the Trial Offer converts to a paid plan and, the Terms say, a reminder email is also sent before an Auto-Ship annual renewal date.
Refunds and returns. The Terms say: 'we don't accept returns of product or do exchanges of product' and that, because the products are consumable, the company is 'unable to accept returns or provide refunds.' For an order that arrived damaged, they give 14 days from the date the order processed to write to [email protected]; the company may offer a replacement, one per account. For non-delivery, they require contact within 5 days of the carrier's delivery date and offer one reshipment. They also say no refunds, exchanges or customer service are provided for products bought from unauthorized resellers, including sellers on Amazon or eBay. The Terms also contain a section headed '100% Satisfaction Guarantee': 'If you're not satisfied with an eligible purchase made on DrinkCirkul.com, contact our Customer Support team within 30 days of delivery. After reviewing your request, we may offer a replacement, store credit or refund based on the circumstances.' It 'applies only to purchases made directly from DrinkCirkul.com' and 'does not apply to' purchases made more than 30 days after delivery, products purchased from unauthorized sellers, commercial, wholesale or resale purchases, and gift cards. The Terms add that 'Refunds are issued to the original payment method whenever applicable and may take 5–10 business days to appear after processing' and that Cirkul 'reserves the right to update or modify this Satisfaction Guarantee at any time.' The Terms therefore contain both the no-returns statements and the Satisfaction Guarantee. These are the company's stated terms; this page does not state whether they were applied in any particular case.
Disputes. The Terms contain an arbitration agreement and class action waiver (the Terms say either party may elect to have individual claims heard in small claims court if they qualify).
More detailShow less
A 'Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Informal Dispute Resolution' step requires a written 'Pre-Arbitration Notice' first. The Terms say a written rejection of future changes 'does not constitute an opt-out of arbitration altogether.' Read that section before filing a court claim. The same section says the arbitration agreement does not prevent you from bringing a dispute to a federal, state or local government agency.
More detailShow less
If a charge looks wrong. Keep order confirmations, the cancellation confirmation email and screenshots. You can dispute a card charge with your card issuer and file complaints with your state attorney general and the Federal Trade Commission (reportfraud.ftc.gov). The BBB, Trustpilot and other third-party figures for this company are shown in the complaint record section.
