  I purchased the two small sample toothpaste. It was like too small toothpaste for $50 and in the process they put in there a subscription so I didnt know that I subscribed. I then received a larger tube of toothpaste which cost $90. I called and cancel my subscription and they told me that I will be charged $30 for the next three months to split that $90 into three so Im purchasing toothpaste through this company. Just be careful for the subscription and know that if you cancel it theyre still gonna charge you this company. I will never recommend to anybody ever again.

  Dear ******,
  
  Thank you for your review. We appreciate the time you have taken to let us know about your experience.
  
  We regret to learn that you were unaware of the subscription included with your smileactives purchase.  If a customer selects the Buy One Get One free special offer for the Power Whitening Gel information is provided several ***** ****** before an order can be submitted.  Our records reflect that your initial order (30-day kit) cost $27.06.  The large full-size replenishment kit was a 90-day supply if used twice a day as recommended.  The cost is split into 3 monthly installments so that the payments are approximately the cost of the initial 30-day supply purchase (plus s&h).
  
   In addition, every shipment is covered by a 60-day guarantee which states: If you're not completely satisfied, simply return the containers within 60 days of receipt, and you'll get a full refund of the purchase price (minus shipping and handling), even if the containers are empty.  While cancelling an account stops all future shipments, it does not cancel the balance due for orders already shipped prior to cancellation, they will continue to bill until paid in full or are returned for credit within the 60-Day Money-Back Guarantee.
  
  As a gesture of goodwill, the remaining payment due for your last shipment has been cleared.   Your smileactivesaccount remains closed with nothing further to be shipped or billed.
  
  Sincerely,

  Total scam! Product does not work. It is not made clear that you are subscribing to monthly purchases when you order the initial trial. When you call in to try to cancel, they tell you that you have cancelled and even give you a confirmation number, but beware, you will receive another shipment and charge the next month. Recommend calling your credit card company and stopping payments to them immediately.

  Dear ******,
  
  Thank you for your review. We appreciate the time you have taken to let us know about your experience.
  
  We do make every effort to be as clear as possible regarding the promotions and offers for smileactives via our websites, TV infomercials, inbound sales phone lines,print materials, product packaging, and billing. As part of their initial purchase, customers ordering the special BOGO ****** introductory kit offer (as you did) are informed they will receive automatic shipments until they contact customer service to cancel or make changes to their membership.  This information is provided three times on the website before any personal information is entered or an order can be submitted and again in the order confirmation email.   We regret if you found the offer you purchased unclear in any way.
  
  Our records reflect that the automatic replenishment kit you received had already been processed for shipment at the time of your call and could not be stopped.  We apologize if that was not made clear at the time of your cancellation.   A refund was issued and the remaining balance cleared on 12/5 when your return was received. 
  
  Your smileactives account remains closed, with nothing further to be shipped or billed.
  
  Sincerely,

  I love this and so does my dentist. Keeps asking how I got my teeth whiteer? I use this as needed to bring my teeth up to the level of white that I feel is natural for me At 69 years old. My son recently he got married, and my teeth were shiny white, and all the wedding photographs. I believe in this and have been using it for years.

  Dear ******,
  
  We are always delighted to hear from such a long-time smileactives fan!  We're also excited that our products are helping you maintain your whitest smile; and proud that your dentist approves.  It is our Polyclean proprietary technology design to create a powerful foaming action that works in hard-to-reach grooves and crannies for better stain removal than toothpaste alone resulting in that noticeable whiter smile.
  
  We appreciate the time you have taken to let us know about your experience.  Thank you again for your feedback.  We look forward to continued opportunities to be of service in the future.
  
  Sincerely,

  Dear ***,
  
  Thank you for your review. We appreciate the time you have taken to let us know about your experience.
  
  We regret to hear that our smileactivesproducts did not meet your expectations.   As with any ***** care or beauty product results vary for each individual and for each product.  Some of our customers see results in just a few days when using smileactivestwice a day while it will take a little longer for others.  Please remember that there are a lot of factors that impact the whiteness of our teeth such as age, medication, eating habits, dental work, etc. It all depends on the stains, how long they have been there, and how deeply rooted they are in the enamel as to how long the process takes.  Every smileactives shipment is covered by our 60-day money back guarantee.
  
  Our records reflect that your order was delivered 10/17 and is still within the 60-day return period.  If you would like to take advantage of the guarantee, you can simply return the product(s) - even if empty - within 60 days of receipt, for a refund.  Return instructions are available on our website or if you prefer contact customer service at ************ or via the online chat feature.
  
  Thank you for your feedback.  Your account remains cancelled.

  Total scam! Had no idea I was signing up for a reoccurring payment 1st of all. Just wanted to try the product. They never sent tracking and I never received my order. Tried to cancel online but when you hit 'cancel' only a white box pops up. Then they took their 'sign in to account' down off the web site for weeks. By that time they sent another box (that I haven't received AGAIN!). So I called and canceled and was offered a refund for my 1st box that never came. Told them to stop charging me, I never received the product and I'm done. Now today I received a bill in the mail for $173! For What?!?! This is ridiculous and they should be shut down! It is a scam and they are ripping people off!

  Dear ****,
  
  Thank you for your review. We appreciate the time you have taken to let us know about your experience.  We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced due to recent changes to the smileactives online account member access portal.  We are upgrading the system; access for active members will be restored.  In the meantime, our website offers options to contact us via email, phone, or chat: we regret if you experienced any difficulty contacting us via any of these channels, as they have been tested without issue.
  
  Our records reflect that you enrolled online for automatic shipments of smileactives on 6/25/24.  Your 2nd shipment, which was initially scheduled for 7/25 was postponed twice via your online account self-management access; first until 8/31 then again until 10/22.   We were unaware that you had not received your initial order until you contact us on 10/22.  When you declined a replacement, an exception to our 60-day money back guarantee was made and a refund issued.  Your subscription was cancelled at that time per your request, but the full-size replenishment kit had already been processed for delivery on 10/21 and could not be stopped from shipping.  The reason you received the bill is because ****** declined the request to finalize the payment for that shipment although we had received a payment authorization prior to shipping.
  
  We regret any frustration you experienced due to the issues with delivery. We were unaware that you did not receive this 2nd shipment as we have not heard from you since the order was shipped.   The balance due of $173.96 has now been cleared.  Your account remains inactive with a zero balance.
  
  Sincerely,

  Dear *******,
  
  Thank you for your review. We appreciate the time you have taken to let us know about your experience.
  
  We try to make our offers as clear as possible.  At the time of purchase, customers are informed of other promotions available.  One of those is to either begin with the standard introductory 30-Day Entry supply or a full-sized 90-Day supply. At the time of your initial purchase, our records reflect that you accepted the 90-day offer.  We regret if you found the offer unclear in any way.
  
  This 90-day introductory kit was a Buy One Get One free promotion.  Your order included two of the full-size Whitening Gels enough to last 6 months (plus 3 Whitening Pens) for the cost of a 3-month (90-day) supply.  The cost was 3 times the price for the 30-day introductory kit and therefore split into 3 payments.  We received your return on 11/5 at which time a full refund was issued and the remaining balance cleared.  Your account remains closed with nothing further to be shipped or billed.  We apologize for any confusion regarding your initial order.
  
  Sincerely,

  Product doesnt work, Difficult to cancel subscription after cancellation continues to send shipments and charge your credit card

  Dear *******,
  
  Thank you for your review. We appreciate the time you have taken to let us know about your experience.
  
  We each have our own set of expectations when we try a new product.  Results vary for each individual and for each product. Some people may see results in 3-7 days when using smileactives as recommended; for some it will take a little longer. This process is a gradual one. Please remember that there are a lot of factors that go into how long the process takes, such as age, medication, eating habits, dental work, etc. It all depends on the stains, how long they have been there, and how deeply rooted they are in the enamel.
  Please be advised that while cancelling an account stops all future shipments, it does not cancel the balance due for orders already shipped prior to cancellation.  They continue to bill until paid in full or return for credit within the 60-Day Money-Back Guarantee.
  
  Our records reflect that your subscription was cancelled 10/16/24 and a refund issued for your last shipment.
  
  We regret to learn that you found the cancellation process difficult. We do want to ensure members are aware of all of their options and benefits available with our flexible membership program and are able to clarify any questions at the time cancellation is processed. We appreciate your feedback about your experience, as we strive to provide only the highest quality products and service.
  
  Sincerely,

  Theyre a major rip off. They claim a money back guarantee but they make it extremely difficult to get a refund. And the product *****. Stay away.

  Dear *******,
  
  Thank you for your review. We appreciate the time you have taken to let us know about your experience.
  
  Every smileactives shipment is covered by a 60-day Money Back Guarantee which states: If for any reason you're not completely satisfied, just return the containers within 60 days of receipt, and you'll get a full refund of the purchase price (minus any initial shipping and handling),even if the containers are empty.
  
  Per our records you called us the afternoon of 10/6/24 regarding an order you had placed that morning.  You stated that you had submitted the order accidentally and had not intended to order.  At the time the order had already processed for shipment and could not be stopped.  The subscription was cancelled which stopped future shipments; information was provided regarding return instructions and the 60-day Money Back Guarantee. **** tracking indicates the order was delivered to you on 10/11/24.  Although your shipment had not been returned,as an exception and goodwill gesture a refund was issued on 10/12.
  
  Your smileactives account remains closed with nothing further to be shipped or billed.

  These customers are 100% correct. I purchased ********************** on August 29, 2024, when I realized an email they enrolled me for on going orders which I did not want or sign up for. Three days later on September 1, 2024, I called to cancel my order and boy it was difficult finally a Supervisor got on the phone and said she will cancel my order. I sent it back immediately when I received it and did not open the box but stuffed my information in it for returning as requested and sent **** Tracking and the item was received on September 10 2024 by Smileactives. Still waiting for a refund. These are scammers my warn to all is check with the BBB before signing up for purchasing anything. PS gyms are big scammers too.

  Dear ****,
  
  Thank you for your review. We appreciate the time you have taken to let us know about your experience.
  
  We make every effort to make our offers and promotions for smileactives as clear as possible online and by phone.  We do not automatically enroll customers in a subscription for replenishment shipments unless they purchase an offer that includes one such as the special discounted Buy One Get One Free 30-day introductory kit you purchased in August.  One-time purchases are available but only at retail pricing.
  
  Your subscription was cancelled via your Live Chat request on 9/1 and confirmed when you spoke with us on 9/4 at which time return instructions were provided.  Please be advised that a returned shipment must go through several steps to be scanned in, processed, and have credit issued for the returned items to the appropriate account: this may not always occur instantaneously at the time a return's tracking information indicates delivery to our facilities. We will always do our best to process returns and issue refunds as quickly as possible. Once received, we ask that customers please allow up to 7 -10 business days to process the refund, per our Guarantee policy. Your refund was issued, and your account remains cancelled.
  
  We regret if you found the offer you purchased unclear in any way.  You will receive no future shipments or additional charges.
  
  Sincerely,

  This is an entrapment. Currently stuck in an auto shipment that I did not sign up for. They are not allowing me to get out of the subscription - the subscription I NEVER SIGNED UP FOR. Have placed many calls and tried to un-subscribe online but the charges keep coming. AGREE WITH ******************* FOR THIS TRAP! NOT A GOOD COMPANY! NO BIG DIFFERENCE IN TEETH COLOR. BAD BAD BAD AND EXPENSIVE EXPERIENCE OVERALL. STILL NOT OVER!

  Dear ******,
  
  Thank you for your review. We appreciate the time you have taken to let us know about your experience.
  
  Our records reflect that your subscription was cancelled when you first requested on 9/28.  You were informed of the balance remaining for the full-size 90-day supply that you had just received and provided return instructions so the shipment could be returned for credit.
  
  Please understand although cancelling stops future shipments it does not cancel any remaining balance due for orders already shipped prior to cancellation.  Every shipment has a 60-day money back guarantee; if received within 60 days of receipt a refund is issued and any balance remaining cleared.  We regret any frustration, but you continued to see charges because your 2nd shipment never reach us to be processed as returned.  Also, when you disputed the charged on 11/12 with your financial institution, although it created a credit for the disputed amount with your credit card it reinstated the cost of the shipment as a balance due.  The auto billing system was activated to send monthly reminders of this balance.
  
  Although your account does not reflect any returns received to present date, as a goodwill gesture, the remaining balance has been cleared.  Your account remains closed with nothing further to be billed.
  
  Sincerely,
