Fraud/Scam
Complaint Rating: 
Company information: Advanced Wellness Research 1269 Woodale Woodale, Illinois United States Phone: 866-964-1011 advancedwellness.com
Product advertised as a free trial, just pay shipping ($4.95), and cancel if you don't like. What happens is in the fine print, you have 14 days from the date of the order to return the product. Personal experience was received product 13 days after order, others quoting longer timeframes.
So if you don't like the product, there is no physical way short of driving to Illinois and throwing through the front door the product.
Now the fun part. If you don't return the product within the 14 day period you get billed an additional $78.81.
Would be all that bad, but Mastercard/Visa are refusing to reverse charges under the legal terms of this companies online agreements. They, (Mastercard/Visa) have THOUSANDS of these complaints. They knew exactly who this company was, were very sorry about the whole deal, and understanding, but could not reverse the charges.
Personally I ended up changing banks over it, and will only use Paypal for online transactions anymore. If a purchase requires Mastercard or VISA instead of Debit, I will get cash and pay at stores.
