Survival Life

I have ordered a few items from Survival Life (paracord bracelet, credit card knife, multi-tool). The paracord bracelet and knife shipped out quickly. The multi-tool took a long while to arrive, however, the site did state the amount of working days. I emailed them, inquiring about the order and they responded back promptly, kindly reminding me about the working days until arrival. I am disappointed that they continue to advertize the products as free, when you only pay for shipping. It's such a poor advertising ploy, but I just look at the value of the products by switching the shipping as the product price with free shipping. Makes more sense this way. I know its all a gimmick but the cost is so low that it is really harmless fun. As for the other subscriptions, I do not trust this company, or any company with scheduled payments for that matter.

They sell you something very cheap and then charge your credit card for additional services that you dont know you ordered. Will not answer phone or email.

I ordered an item in November and complained about not getting it before Christmas. They told me it took 21 business days. When I saw they were offering the item again before Christmas I complained again, that they could not fill the orders made in November why we're they offering it again. They ordered me 2 more I got the first ones around the 25th of January, got the 2 nd one on the 28th of January. Emailed them about the bad emails they were getting and told them I got both orders, they didn't ask for the second order back. It just took so long to get the item in. I have ordered another item. We will see if I get it very quick. I also ordered a knife for just postage like the first order, and was charged for a membership. Got to them the same day and cancelled it so I didn't get charged for it.

Hello,We are so so sorry for all the confusion regarding this customer's purchases. The original order for the bracelet was made on January 2nd, 2014. It then shows that the customer was put down for a purchase for the larger jewelry kit for $29.95. That purchase also signed the...

customer up for a monthly membership that costs $14.95 a month. This was a mistake and should have been taken care of immediately. The order for the kit and the charge for the monthly membership have been refunded in full and the membership has been canceled which means there will be no future billings. The original order for the bracelet has also been refunded in full. However, we are going to place the bracelet down for reshipment free of charge as an apology. Our reshipments take priority and the bracelet should arrive in 7-10 business days. We have a 100% satisfaction guaranteed policy and will work harder in the future to make sure every customers needs are met.

I was looking at facebook and noticed an article from Survival Life. The add said that Survival Life was giving away free flashlights. I was intrigue by the offer so I placed and order for a free flashlight. A webpage to placed the order asked for my phone number, email address, home address, and complete credit card information to charge me with a $4.95 shipping charge for the flashlight. I clicked the link to send my order, at first nothing happened. I tried several times hitting the send button for order to be submitted and expected an order confirmation. Instead I received and spam email welcoming me as a subscription member of Survival Life. I never received confirmation of my order by they already sent me a welcome letter to a subscription membership which I never requested. My concern is they now have my complete credit card information, will not send me what they promised but will instead charge my credit card on a recurring basis for something I never requested. All I wanted was my free flashlight. Nothing indicated to me that I was signing up for any subscription. I will be notifying my bank of a potential fraud and ask them to put a watch on my credit card and reading past client reviews with similar complaints.
