SmileActives Reviews (%countItem)

I have the same grievance that everyone has explained here about confusing language, automatic replenishment tactics buried in the fine print, and "clear-as-mud" legal disclosures. They do this so that the unfortunate people that don't look at their credit card statements too closely may keep paying for as long as possible. This is how they make their money. Obviously, if this were a good product, they wouldn't have to do this... but that's beside the point. What is extremely disappointing is that they keep saying that they take these complaints and bad reviews seriously but they do nothing to rectify their actions...and the complaints and bad reviews keep piling up. Sure, they are probably not doing anything fraudulent or illegal. I get that. However, ethically, they are highly unsatisfactory, at best. Their business model is designed strictly to steal by way of misleading. I so wish we were all just less inclined to "make money by any means necessary" - makes me sad about American society.

Dear Ms. Spence,

While you may notice a trend with the reviews or complaints regarding our continuity program, happy customers generally do not leave any kind of reviews regarding their experience. Please keep in mind that the reviews and complaints that the Revdex.com receive are a very small portion of our customers.

We do make every effort to make the offers as clear as possible on our websites. The terms of the offer are typed in bold lettering so that they stand out and draw the customer's attention to them.

The online offer stated: "One month after your first order is shipped, and then every three months thereafter, you will be sent a new three month supply of 1 smileactives® Power Whitening Gel. Each shipment will be charged to the card you provide today, in three monthly payments at the low price of $19.95 plus $2.99 for shipping and handling per month, unless you call to cancel. There is no commitment and no minimum to buy. All orders are subject to applicable sales tax. There is no commitment and no minimum to buy. Please note exact shipment times may vary. To customize future shipments and changes, call customer service anytime at (888) 575-5700."

We regret if you found the online offer unclear in any way.

Sincerely,

Thank you for your response, your kindness & all your help.

I had to make complaints against the FCC & the Revdex.com before these people would acknowledge my situation.

I don't care about the nonsense response they sent you. They need to be shut down.

I had to cancel my credit card bc they gave me a, "Oh, well, we're gonna continue taking the money out of your account." Basically, too bad so sad.

SCAM! When you purchase the original product, they send a tiny tube and charge $21.30.
Then, the next month, SURPRISE! You get a larger tube and charge you $24.90.
I ordered the first tube in March 2020. After receiving the second tube, I immediately contacted them and cancelled any further shipment . I logged into my payment method and stopped any further charges.
I stopped receiving product, but in May, I started receiving Past Due invoices for $48.57.
I called the number given on the invoice and tried to speak to a representative. I told her my name, customer # and order #. She wanted my email and phone too. I told her that the information I gave her was enough to look up my account. I told her that I wanted the invoices to stop. She kept talking. I told her this was not going to go "their way" because they were a scam. She hung up on me.
I'm very glad that I used a payment method that I could stop payment quickly. I'm sure there are others that have been scammed for a lot more!

I purchased the product with no intentions of signing up for automatic deliveries but this company charged my Paypal account without my permission claiming I signed up for automatic deliveries. Why would I sign u p for a product without first trying the product. The product does not work so I would never order anymore. I want my money refunded immediately.

Desired Outcome

Refund Refund the money that was taken out of my Paypal account without my permission.

In your own words, "While you may notice a trend with the reviews or complaints regarding our continuity program". Amazon will no longer allow people to write reviews about your company unless they purchase your products through their website. How many people do you think tried to write negative reviews before they felt the need to intact that policy. If you're not seeing a disturbing pattern... you are either ignorant or guilty of shady business practices.

I would like every penny I spent with your company refunded immediately. You should also give more thought to how your brand is percieved.

Thank you.

False advertising. Procured their Smiles Tooth Paste sometime in May on the website for a one time purchase. Turns into 90 day supply.
Order the product as a one time purchase on the website. Then on 6 June I notice another charge to my account. And on 9 June another tube shows up at house. On 15 June get on their website to cancel. Low and behold *** tells me no I signed up for a 90 day membership. Tell her no I did not and cancel the whole account and tell her that "NO MORE CHARGES ARE AUTHORIZED" to my credit card. She comes back and states account is cancelled but you still owe for the membership. Tell read your return policy. She sends address to return with a statement keep tracking number in case it gets lost. Good advice, BUT THROWS UP RED FLAGS. No where did I ever see that I paid for a membership. It was a one time buy. By other complaints it is not just me. So allot more going on here and it taking peoples money. Never authorized more than one charge. And we noticed no change using product either.

Desired Outcome

I will work return and refund as outlined by them today. If they fail to execute of lose return I will have legal help.

They took care of me and made it right. But, they need to work on how the hook people into memberships. Not a fair business practice. Others will file complaints unless they change that.

Received bill from SmileActives. Called customer service about reason. Was told it was for shipments. I have not received any additional shipments.
I originally ordered SmileActives in April of 2020. I received the shipment about a week later. In mid May I received an email from PayPal stating another charge was about to be made. I canceled the payment in PayPal as I had not received any additional shipments. I received a bill in the mail for *** I called customer service and was told it was for 3 additional shipments. I stated that I had never received any additional shipments. The customer service rep told me he could not credit my account. He instead wanted me to try and contact FedEx to track down shipments. I don't believe it is my responsibility to pay for items I never received or for the company to continue to send products after I had canceled through PayPal.

Desired Outcome

I would like for the company to credit my account for the *** in the bill.

After several phone calls regarding the fact that I did not receive their product, I cancelled further service so that future withdrawals could not be made.

They charge me for autoship product and membership that I am not aware of.
I order their product one time on 5/4/20. They send me an email about my order but they never mention about me having a membership and they will autoship me after a month. I notice earlier 6/3/20, my paypal account was charge again, but I never order anything. I chat live with them since their phone customer service is close. I explain with ray, their customer service, why am I being charge, I am not aware that they will auto ship me the product and will keep charging me each month. I ask him to cancel it since I only order one time and theu should cancel my membership. It was stressful cause the customer service don't wanna cancel my membership amd keep explaining things to keep using the product. I mention that my daughter never really use it. And he keeps offering me to try it and just hold the membership until 10/2020. I keep requesting to cancel it now, I don't want any auto ship and membership. When he finally cancel my membership, he said I will still be charge until august 2020. I was so upset because I never signed up for autoship or memebership and now they will still charge me until august. They deceive me by not mentioning the autoship or memebership. I will return all their products once I recive them, my daughter don't even one try it.

Desired Outcome

I want them to refund me for june charges and never charge me until august. I will return all their products that my daughter never even tried. Thank you

I decided to try Oral Care's product. I paid with Paypal. When I was ordering I remember I checked off one time use and not membership which was for a cheaper price. Now I see it is not listed anywhere. I paid $43.35. What I did not know was they charged me AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. I did not know it I saw a charge of $68.43, on 5/5/2020 $25.43 AND on 5/6/2020 they charged $25.43. I got a package and I returned it and I said I do not want it. I did not like it. They say I have a balance'! Of $49.32. I tell them I want my money BACK. I do not want this product. What I did not know was they were billing me still. So what I thought I bought for $43.35 I really paid $162.21 because I did not press a button that said "CANCEL." When I wrote them and said I wanted my money back, they said I have a balance of $46.23 and they charged me TWICE (like I said) on May 5th and May 6th. I told them I want my money back. I do not want the product. And they are ignoring me saying they are sorry to lose a customer like me but they make no mention of returning my money. They do say
OUR PROMISE
Your Money-Back Guarantee
Try Smileactives for 60 days. If you're not completely satisfied, simply return the product, even if empty. (less s&h)
I bought it on April 5th. When I a second shipment I called them and told them I did not want it. So I told them in four weeks. BUT THEY STILL BILLED ME BECAUSE I DID NOT PRESS "CANCEL." They used my credit card without my authorization and now they will not give me my money back. I DID PRESS CANCEL TODAY . NO ONE THERE TOLD ME TO PRESS "CANCEL" - NO. So they were not honest because they say they are so sorry to see you go but do not refund your money.
This is thievery. You tell them you do not like their product and they continue billing you even when you return their product.

First the product does not work.They sent auto shipment that I not authorized. They wouldn't cancel when I called. This company isn't dishonest!
The same day *** notified me of their auto payment shipment pending I called aka smile active. The rep claimed he could not stop shipment it had to be done by an escalator representative. They wouldn't contact me in 2 to 5 days. Conveniently buying time to process order. I never signed up for membership as it was my first time purchasing product. Why would I sign up for auto shipments. I need fact I asked them for return label in order to return the only purchase I made that didn't not deliver results.

Desired Outcome

I want return label to *** emailed and refund to be issued. I never want to conduct any business wit him this company. They should stop their tv ads. They cannot charge my *** with auto shipments. This company should be shut! Look at the customer reviews.

Customer Response • Jun 18, 2020

This company is a fraud! They do not want to reimburse for a shipment that I ordered and returned to them they refuse to credit me when they offered a money back guarantee of 60 days. weeks ago. Instead they signed me up without my consent on auto delivery. So because I complained about a shipment they sent and got through the PayPal billing they credited that one. And sent it and I returned it. But the original order that I returned is pending credit. They need to credit me for the original order that I returned They also sent me a past due bill for 74.93 that has to do with what they invented in there system for future shipments, to see if they would get away with my paying it. It was such a lie that they retracted and told me to ignore it. They owe me the credit from the original and only time I've ordered. The refund is 21. And change. This company needs to be put out of business. You can't speak to a supervisor In the customer service.

I purchased the SMILEACTIVES product last summer to try out. I wasn't pleased with the results. They advertise money back if not satisfied. I returned the remaining product as instructed with a clear demand to end my subscription. I recieved my refund a month later. Today I received their product in the mail with a *** charge. I immediately called them complaining that I ended my subscription 9 months ago. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told it would be a 2-5 day wait. I asked for my money back (which should never been taken)and was told when (I) pay to ship the product back, then I would receive my money. I feel like SmileActive is pushing their product on me after clear instructions to remove me from their list. I was also informed that the *** stolen today is the first of (3) installments to be deducted. This is unacceptable. Please assist. thank You

(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)

I signed up for member delivery for the 3.8 gel priced at 19.96 + free s/h every 3 mos. OCP has billd my cc 44.84 + 8.97 s/h twice; refuses refund.

Cr: XXXXX

Oral Care Products's Smileactives offers a member discount of $19.96 + free s/h on their full size 3.8 ml whitening gel. I signed up for this offer during 10/2019. The terms of the offer required the use of a credit card for automatic shipment and billing every 3 months. However, OCP would ship every three months but bill for three installments after shipping.
As an example, in 11/19 I received my first order - (1) 3.8 oz of whitening gel. But, Smileactives debited by credit card in November, December and January over the agreed amount of $19.96; and totaling the amount of $57.05 (44.85 / 8.97 s/h / 3.23 tax). The same billing error occurred on the next 2/20 shipment - a total of $57.05 was billed to my credit card.
On 5/4 I discovered I was being overbilled and called customer service. I spent over an hour disputing the amount with a representative who kept complaining he couldn't get *** to "load" to verify my complaints. He was often rude and combative - arguing the price of the product while knowing full well that a single 3.8 oz. tube does not sell for $44.95. Still he kept insisting that the $44.85 price was correct. I told him that NO whitening gel is priced at that amount on the website. Full price of the 3.8 oz. size is $24.95. The benefit of member pricing is 20% plus free shipping. So how could it be possible that $44.95 is the correct discounted member rate for a single 3.8 oz with free shipping? additionally, I have some question about the rate of tax that was calculated on my order. I am a MD resident and the rate is 6%.

The member rate is still listed on ***

19.96 + 6% = 19.96 + 1.19 = 21.15 which is a difference of $35.90 per order.

I was over billed a total of $71.80

The order numbers/dates for my account are:

10/21/2019 Order# XXXXXX $15.85 Introductory Offer (2) 1 oz gels
11/20/2019 Order# XXXXXX $57.XX (X) X.8 oz
2/20/2020 Order# XXXXXX $57.XX (X) X.8 oz

Desired Outcome

An immediate refund of $71.80 and no future shipments.

Our records reflect that you enrolled online for automatic shipments of smileactives(*) on October 20, 2019.

On October 21, 2019, your first shipment, a 30-day introductory supply, was sent and charged in full $15.85 (included $0.90 MD sales tax) at the time of shipping.

On November 20, 2019, your second shipment, a 90-day supply, was sent for a total of $57.05 (included $8.97 s&h plus $3.23 MD sales tax) to be billed in 3 installments over 28-day billing cycles. The first payment of $19.38 was charged at the time of shipping. The second and third payments of $18.84 and $18.83 were charged on December 21, 2019 and January 21, 2020.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
In the 6/1/2020 reply from ***. of consumer affairs the price of the 3.8 ounce size of the product is misrepresented. The regular price of the 3.8oz size is $24.95 the reduced price for automatic shipping is a 20% discounted price of $19.95 due to ship every 3 months. Please refer to your own website to verify these amounts.
The 3.8oz whitening gel does not sell for $44.85 (3x14.85). One tube of 3.8oz sells for $24.95 for a one time purchase. As a subscription customer I should have been billed $19.95 with FREE SHIPPING - also expressly stated on your website.

As previously stated to date I have received

10/21/2019 Order# XXXXXX $15.85 Intro. Offer (2) 1 oz gels

11/20/2019 Order# XXXXXX $57.05 (1) 3.8 oz
2/20/2020 Order# XXXXXX $57.05 (1) 3.8 oz

Total paid is $129.95

Compared to the advertised price:

10/21/2019 Order# XXXXXX $15.85 (2) 1.0 oz (IO)

11/20/2019 Order# XXXXXX $21.15 (1) 3.8 oz
2/20/2020 Order# XXXXXX $21.15 (1) 3.8 oz
(19.95+6% MD tax)

Total per advertised price is $58.15

$129.95 - $58.15= $71.80 OVERPAYMENT

After an exhausting conversation with customer service I was able to get a partial refund of $49.90, but it was not a courtesy - it was rightfully owed as is the remaining $21.90. A full refund of the overpaid amount is not a courtesy but my right as a consumer. I have clearly been overcharged and demand my right to have a full refund.

As advertised the regular price for a 3.8oz is $24.95 + shipping. As a subscription customer the reduced price is 20% less with free shipping. I signed up as a subscription customer. After the introductory offer of 10/2019; I received two subscription orders during 11/2019 and 2/2020 and paid $57.05 for each order. Each order consisting of a single 3.8 oz tube of whitening gel; resulting in the total amount overpaid of $71.80

I purchase a one time product for teeth whitening on linen for $19.99 + tax in early March. I was asked if I wanted to open an account to receive more product I declined. I received the product, I stopped using it. Because it made my teeth sensitive. A month and a half later I received another package from this company when I opened it, I noticed more product from smileacttve. I contacted them and explained to them. I didn't order more product why are you sending me more product. I asked them to send me a prepaid postage so that I can return the product that they sent to me which I didn't order. They told me they will, they never did. I kept receiving bills for $74.75 for things that I didn't order. When I realized that they charged my credit card without my permission, I put a stop to it. As of this moment, I'm still waiting on them to send me a prepaid postage so that I can return their product which I didn't order back to them. I do believe this was a scam.
Product_Or_Service: Teeth whitening

Desired Outcome

Billing Adjustment I want them to allow me a way to return their product back to them and have them To stop sending bills for things I did order. And I want them to stop scamming people.

I called Smileactives in February to cancel my subscription. Since then I have still been charged the $25 a month. Not only that, but they aren't even sending the product, they are charging me for nothing I asked to cancel the charges and the shipment of the product. They stopped shipping the product, but still charge me for it.

Desired Outcome

Refund I would like Smileactives to refund my money and stop billing me every month for a service I don't want and am not getting anyway

Absolute scam. After initial purchase, a confirmation of your order is sent via email. You are automatically signed up for a subscription auto-billing even though it is not apparent. There is no confirmation of a membership sent to you. They explain they send you confirmation of your next shipment with your first package, but who honestly checks the mailed receipt to look into this? If they wanted to be up front, they would send confirmation and reminders via emails, especially since every complaint they get has to to do with this problem. Instead, they continue to say how "transparent" they are but make no improvements to their communication after years of complaints. After I was charged $36 a month later for a 90 day supply of refills, I cancelled the membership and was sent a $106 invoice for products they sent that I owe them? When you call to complain they just tell you that it's very obvious what I have signed up for and it's all my fault. I've never seen such predatory sales practices in a company. Likely will see a class action soon.

Scam product and now billing and collections?
I received this after my initial order on 2/23/2020 I received the product and immediately had it burn my mouth so I called their customer service line which sounds like you are calling overseas and in a tunnel. THE woman said she was sorry and would cancel it right away. Well then I get a 2nd charge for the product on my PayPal account and I again immediately called say what is going on here? I said AGAIN cancel that payment and shipment where she said oh sorry can't cancel and you can ship it back at my expense. I said you better not put in further charges and filed a complaint with paypal where they decided in my favor. Then I get a bill for the remainder of the membership which I already cancelled and sent back their junk product which burns my mouth and now I am concerned reading these other complaints they will send me to collections so before they get the chance I want yo get this stopped.

Desired Outcome

I want a letter stating I am fully cancelled and they won't send me to collections

Dear Ms.,

Thank you for contacting us through the Revdex.com. We received your inquiry and sincerely apologize for any miscommunication. We take these complaints very seriously and appreciate the time you have taken to let us know about your experience.

We regret to learn that you may have experienced a potential reaction with Smileactives(r), as you have stated. A Customer Specialist will be contacting you within the next few business days to discuss your experience. It is of utmost importance to us that any potential reaction to this product is documented and addressed.

On March 24, 2020, your second shipment, a extra-large supply, was processed for a total of $74.74 (included $8.97 s&h plus $5.92 WA sales tax) to be billed in 3 installments over 28-day billing cycles. The first payment of $25.43 was charged at the time of shipping, leaving a remaining balance of $49.31.

On March 25, 2020, per your request, your account was cancelled. We regret we have no record of a cancellation request prior to this date. While your account was cancelled at that time, orders which are shipped prior to cancellation continue to bill until paid in full or are returned for credit. To date we have no record of your second shipment being returned for credit.

On April 10, 2020, PayPal reversed the first installment of $25.43 for your second shipment. While this chargeback created a credit in your favor with your financial institution, it restored the amount of $25.43 due and payable to Smileactives(r), increasing the outstanding balance to $74.74.

However, as a gesture of goodwill and in an effort to fully resolve this matter, I have cleared the remaining account balance of $74.74 for your second shipment. Please consider any invoices received after the date of this correspondence as having crossed in the mail.

Your Smileactives(r) account is closed with a zero balance. Nothing further will be shipped or billed.

Sincerely,

***
